Your argument...is invalid.

[mk216v]

Very nice RBA, thanks for sharing! Keep the G pics coming.

[burquedoka]

Some fun up in the San Juans this week with some great friends. I missed the Star tour by a week, oh well we pretty much had all the trails to our selves.

[otiswesty]

what on earth were you chainsawing in that terrain?


Lots of 3-5 ft tall thorny, dense, woody overgrowth on a disused and washed out BCS Mexican ranch road.

[mk216v]

And here I thought you meant San Juan(Islands). I was going to ask if we Oregonians were going to have another local GTG for a G-Star passing through town.

The San Juan Mtns look great though.

[Funrover]

I love seeing the G's used. That is one rig I would love to have.

[Longtallsally]

My first post to the forum, but I'm really excited to see other adventurers out there.

This is what my wife and I got not too long ago as we are suffering through living in Germany for a bit for work.

http://longtallsallygs.smugmug.com/Cars/G-Wagen/i-jCv6NC6/0/XL/DSCN0930-XL.jpg

It is an '85 300GD with the 4 speed. The plan is to get the rust taken care of, general maintenance done, for me to learn a bit about diesels (never worked on them before), and then convert it to run on WVO, and then do a slew of stuff to prep it for adventure touring.

Here is how it sits right now.

http://longtallsallygs.smugmug.com/Cars/G-Wagen/i-2Pbnmgn/0/XL/DSC0628-XL.jpg

The fenders are pretty good I think, but the rockers and rear quarters are pretty bad. I'm planning on replacing the rear corners as well. I still have to determine if the floor pan(s) is(are) bad and need replacing too.

The work is very slow going due to working on a car in Germany is nigh on impossible based on the oppressive culture here, but I'm excited to return to the western US where I can commence to work in full swing.

I guess I should mention I'm not really new to the adventure or expedition bit as I've done a little of it before:

My Jeep YJ that we sold just before moving to Europe on the now extinct Gate Keeper from the Rubicon.

[gary in ohio]

What is the box on the rear passenger side that the shovel is attached to? ANy info about them? commercial? homemade?

[4Rescue]

what on earth were you chainsawing in that terrain?

HAHAHAHAHAHA I thought the same thing... And why the Big saw??? Pack an arborists little limb saw and you could save alot of space and still cut anything you found. You'd think they were in Oregon with a saw that big aye.

80269

Specs on the SWB? Looks awesome!

[kmaser]

Thanks!

Its a 1988 280GE with a rebuilt OM617a installed with an air / water intercooler, modified injection pump with 6.5mm elements, VNT turbo project in the works, 6:17 gears, 16 x 8 steel wheels made by Trudesign wheel, Gwagenaccessories spring spacers, 37 x 12.50 super swamper IROK's and hydroboost brakes.

[mk216v]

Awesome Kurtis. Is +32et the offset on your TDW wheels?
How do you like the hydroboost brakes? Which kit did you use?

[stainless]

I went ahead and had 285/75R18 (35x11.5") Toyo Open Country MT's mounted on my OE wheels with 0" of lift. They're a tight fit but they DO clear.......barely.
I get some rubbing at steering lock on flat ground, so it's all for show until I get the lift springs on it....and I have to get new front brake lines and a front locker line made and lengthen the wheel sensor wires before I can do that. The lines are all long enough at rest, but I don't want to rip anything loose at full droop.

http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc347/Stainless-26/Gelandewagen/322fa162.png

This should be pretty close to what it will look like after I get the lift springs on it.

[aircruiser]

Looking Good Stainless!

Mine should be to of the shop soon. Then we can play.

Thanks man. Let me know when you're back on the road. I'm pretty much street-bound until I get my lift done, but that won't be too much longer.

[mk216v]

What shocks are you going to go with?

[stainless]

Chris (on the clubgwagen forum) was suggesting 2" longer shocks and extending the bumpstops 2". I'll probably end up with something in that range.

Any suggestions? Shoot me a PM.
