Scottrgs Again, thanks for writing a "book" (:-)). Your posts have shed a lot of light on the G-wagen for me. Seems to me that I might be better off staying with the landies for now. At least in terms of where repairs & cost of spares are concerned. I'd still like to see one...

I'll put that in my pipe & smoke it.......:naner: Matt

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?!!;) :razz: * * we need a "quizacal" avatar-something with one eyebrow furrowed for such situations..... Matt

Thanks for the input, Rchalmers3. Yeah I would say that there is a lot of "support" for anything Chevy out there. My reference to the CuCv in the first post was not how does a G-wagen compare to one, though. The only CuCv that I can honestly say that I'd like to have would...

Scottgs Thanks for the replies (all of them :smile:) . Your posts really answered the questions I had about the G wagens. It was the 230GE (2 door-short wheelbase?) that I was inquiring about. They sound like a very good rig for general tooling around in but can still be driven...

That's good to know as I just painted my house this past spring. Hate to think that I now have to go out there & spray on a coat of clear coat......:razz: Matt

I don't know Mercunimog404, from some of the comments in that link MWMULES posted, looks like the USMC didn't think that much of them.... But, that's neither here nor there. What I'd be curious to know is what's their reliability like & how do the ride? They look like they'd perform the same as...

Thanks that was an interesting read. When I think of what it is I want to know, I'll post again. Matt

Anyone on here have any experience with the Steyr Puch/Mercedes G Wagon 230GEs? Swiss Army Vehicles sells them. Kind of remind me of a "Euro-CUCV". Are they any good? Matt

That is good news..... Matt

There was a scandle back in the 1990s involving a well known MV parts dealer, unscrupulous range officers at an Amry base. Made National news. Like others have posted, if this was actually an M113A2 or A3 variant, it would be selling for north of 80k & not in the low 30s like...

Getting both is a nice idea but may not be practical (probably wouldn't stop me from trying:p). I'm sure that by this time next year the market will be flooded with 900 series trucks and the price will drop accordingly. It already has. I can remember when they used to bring pricing in the...

My original comparison was for the overall size of the truck (M35). The 2500 pictured is close I was thinking of a Ford F350 crew cab and 8 ft. bed. To a lot of people, the M35 w/ full canvas is a giant vehicle. My comparison demonstrates that it's not as big as you might think it is...

Sorry to hear about that, Michigandon. Matt

I have around here somewhere a pic of an M35A2 sans canvas parked next to a 800 series 5t sans canvas. It's a 3/4 front view shot of both trucks. The M35 w/o it's canvas is about the size of a crew cab pick up truck (full size bed) except it's a little taller. The 5t w/o canvas & windshield...

Glad this thread got posted as I sometimes get bit by the 6X6 bug and wonder which one myself. Matt

Wonder what they're using for tires? Doesn't the V100 use a tire size that is unique to itself? Matt

Yeah it's great when someone who doesn't know you can hide behind the curtain of an HOA & stab you in the back. (I know you're being sarcastic-I'm just agreeing with you)... Matt

I know the Vietnamese are a thrifty people but I'm still kind of surprised that the V100s are still in service with them & haven't been scrapped out, replaced with a vehicle of Russian design/origin. Matt

Really need a set of the inner steering box linkage pins, bevel box drain & filler plugs (for one box), shock absorber (complete set if you have but, one will do). I need lots of other parts but the above are actually holding up the resto of my ferret Mk.1/2 00EA85...
