first url already not working anymore but second one is just fine just fyi, interesting TM thats for sure (and i'm not too surprised at the use of an "offloading" platform as i didn't think the leaf springs would had liked the full shock of a drop being directly applied to them after all, right?)

I don't mean to start an offtopic remark but a fictional someone by the name of Winston Rothschild actually once mentioned that he started sewage service by using a station wagon with liner in the very rear although sudden stops could be a very messy affair! (I mean seriously tho, transporting...

regarding muffler shop, couldn't we wish for something a bit like Donaldson but sized more for smaller vehicles [especially with under-chassis systems] instead of big trucks? not saying there should be only one supplier, but simply that its someone who is clear on what they offer for a...

hmm can we maybe say "performance in the parking lot"? I don't know what else to even suggest about abusing the english language hehe ;-)

nice little machine there and hi from now-snowy-finally Canada here @RoadRash

see what @msgjd literally just said about true clearances? I'm going try not bang my head here right now sir!! (haha?)

learned a bit something new there, thanks @mkcoen (mind you I had already suspected it was originally operating in tropical climate what with that the soft-top looked like it was indeed designed with no sides apparently in mind)

well I don't really know much anything about chevrolet pickups (not my favourite in first place as you can see) but still.. nothing wrong but just a tiny friendly nitpick in the name of that its more likely THM400 not TH400 .. which GM has apparently used in quite a large range of cars and...

@Das_Haifisch I've seen too many photos and short clips online to know that I sure as heck won't want to find out that a just-being-rescued-now truck literally crumpled its box onto some a-bit-too-low concrete head somewhere (and to be honest with everyone here its crazy to see the variation in...

nice truck, and of course I hope theres no 'false' clearance signs on that 900 miles route but mm you know anyhow let us eventually know how it goes when the truck is into your own workspace and you're wrenching around with it?

I remember finding this diagram on the web long before I ever knew of steelsoldier being on the internet.. https://matarama.com/sites/default/files/images/unimog-416-416-20-speed-cascade-transmission-mataramacom.jpg how commonplace were these specific kind of transmission anyway? I still can't...

nice to see I perhaps got @HDN and @Mullaney falling over laughing? even I won't really want my own vehicle to self-destruct..umm unless of course it had some very privy military hardware that absolutely shouldn't end up on someone else's hand tho ;-)

@Jbulach when you said that I immediately thought of this (only seen parts of this particular 007 movie online, never yet actually watched the physical full movie yet mind you) scene:

hehe @HDN and if we want to complicate it a bit more make it that if you do it in the wrong order (eg turn-right signal first instead of left first) it would simply reset the mechanisms back to the start point? I only thought of that because of the similar relationship to the special briefcase...

ah I didn't have an engine in mind, just that it was a truck diesel (like for example the M35's Continental engine) and regarding literally going crazy on the voltage, you should see the stories about european people that somehow thought that flipping their psu's little red switch from 220v to...

thanks for not minding me asking about 'little' things there and there, anyhow heres my next one.. how bad is it to drive a glow voltage 1v-2v higher than its paper rating considering that its generally only on for a short time as well? (I partially asked this because of how for example with...

@SCM35A2 I want say two things for now 1. I can understand where the modern world is coming from but still its sometimes simply nice to have a engine that is just a raw engine and the only electrical present at all is for the spark/glow system alone, nothing more you know?? or to aptly quote...

some things I'll say for sure.. that unimog really looks like it thinks its a high-speed backhoe tractor (except for two separate seats instead of spin-around single seat) @mkcoen has an interesting something as I wonder about whats with its hood in particular is @kendelrio a Kaiser? (Sure...

in general, and you know I now do think of that inside the cabin does make sense considering who would want to troubleshoot an annoying problem in poor outdoor weather and/or over a quite dirty engine? (on an offtopic note I had not heard of a 915 beofre so had to look that up now and funny...

I know that generally where it was at is best left where its at but if you were to do a total rewire job within existing lamps etc provisions and/or working on a new vehicle completely from the ground up instead, where would you had really put the fusebox yourself? (especially in term of under...
