Hi all. We lost one of our overland group yesterday. A few will have known Rahul Gavand from Thane near Mumbai in India. He had just completed his Overland Truck build on a Bharat Benz (similar to a 4x4 Atego). He was 50, and lost his battle with Covid 19. He never got to start his big trip in...

Hi all. So, how does this work? I have found and purchased a Merc WIS EPC from Ebay, but have been sent links to an installer and some huge files that will take hours to download... I'm just after a file for my truck so I can locate parts etc. Have I got the right thing or something...

Hi all. Anyone have any Mercedes contacts? I'm chasing info on what axle ratio's are available for the axles under our Mercedes 1222a. I have an AL3 front axle (current ratio 1= 4,300 as stamped on plate)), and a HL7 rear hub reduction axle (current ratio 000=4,333). The gearbox is a 6 speed...

Hi guys. I have a contact in the UK who is selling their nearly completed Mercedes 1820AK Overlander. Mods, if this has to be elsewhere then please locate. There is a long and sad story to this build, so only serious buyers to make contact please... The time and money that has been put in to it...

Makes for interesting viewing!

Hi all. Firstly mods if this is in the wrong place please shift it, and secondly, this is not my usual area, but have a friend in need. A few days ago a fella broke down in his Ford F250 dual cab pickup (Ute here in Australia) just outside our place. Anyway, being nosy I wandered down to...

Hi all... Not mine, and I have no connection to it, but I have just found this on the Australian Gumtree website. Thought it'd be of interest here. :) https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/maudsland/campervans-motorhomes/unimog-u4023-year-2017-extreme-4x4-motorhome/1192222618

Hi all. Firstly, mods if there is a better location for this, please feel free to relocate it. Sooo, I have a thread going in the Unimog and MB section, and am about to start my truck build. I have a Mercedes 1222A 4x4 truck, and I have also purchased an ex mine truck/bus body. The body needs...

Hi all. So, the shed build is well under way, the body has been sourced, a late Actros muffler is now 'in stock', and I'm all but ready to start my build. I want to go through my truck before I do though. I have a Mercedes 1222A which has a straight 6 speed gearbox which stands alone and has a...

Hi all.. Not sure where to place this as I only tend to reside in this section.... Anyhow, Mods, feel free to relocate it, just let me know where it went! :) Stumbled across this today.. Its a coach built Mine Spec body that came off an Isuzu NQR. Basic dimensions r as follows... Width 2155mm...

Hi all.. Stumbled across this site whilst looking at a few pics. Quite a nice find with their base vehicle. V8, hub reduction all round, but a later cab..... http://www.kumakonda.com/en/how-we-built-our-overland-truck/

Hi all. Regular lurker here, just usually in the Unimog and MB section.. Anyway, my question is.... For those of you using/carrying a generator in your trucks, what KVA units are you using? I'm looking at the Honda eu65is and/or eu70is units.. We plan to have a 12/240v...

In my travels today, I came across this... I passed it in the morning and at first glance thought it was a Bedford... Some of the original Dragoman Trucks were Bedfordshire that looked like this...

Hi all.. Ok, long shot I know, but I am after a set of of the pressed steel rings that fit on the front wheels.. I have a standard set, but want the shaped cut out type that suit the hub reduction axle (as pictured). They seem to be non existent here in Oz, but I'm happy to buy a set from...

Hi all. Long time lurker here, and now finally the owner of a suitable platform for an Overland Truck build. Being an ex Dragoman driver, I have them to blame for the love of Mercedes trucks. :) Having had a selection of Land Rovers over the years, the last being a Cummins powered 101 Forward...
