    As much as i like the version 1 of the freezer box - VW LT MKI; it´s engine is not new and a bit noisy (since you sit atop it), - has anybody converted the 2.4D to another newer powerplant? And even in the progress converted it to 4WD - the originals (I think only 1250 was made) are pricy and...

    1986 VW LT35 2.4D MK1 - ex ambulance with a broken camshaft :/

    Trying to figure this out... Sadly our belt snapped and left the camshaft broken into four parts.

    Unimog 435 single cap conversion to doka question

    Since I would love to have a U1300L DOKA and they seem difficult to acquire, I was speculating about rebuilding a normal cap to a doka, would it be easy to get a set of (used) doors and also the repair body panels to make the bodypart to fit them in? Any insights would be appreciated. I have...

    Vario diff-lock retrofit

    So I´m still dreaming/thinking about a MB 614/814/815 Vario. Currently I think my budget will not allow for a 4x4 version, so my question for you Vario experts is: could one rebuild/fit a 4x2 with a rear diff-lock? Thx

    Source and cost to convert dual-tires to singels on a MB lorry

    Since the cost of a 4x4 Mercedes lorry (maybe a 1222, 1019, 917 or something similar) is more interesting than a Unimog price; I was wondering what the cost would be to convert the dual-tires in the back to single rims that will take a descent Michelin off-road tire, and the wheels in the front...
