G´day,

I guess the following images is best placed here, don´t you think?

http://www.wild-rhino-racing.com/images/TIBUS/ORC_Tibus_G-Professional_web1000t.jpg

This was taken at Hans Baur´s place (www.orc.de) in Germany. He just finished this conversion, fitting the Tibus (www.killeraxles.com) 4" bolt-on portals.

Everything sorted and ready for the big adventure early 2012.

I have more images, but am writing while driving, so I´ll post them later.

So long,

Robert

Oh goodness, you had to do that while I'm researching new suspension.
$12k+ for portals/front brakes...:drool:

Moar pics please when you can.

[Oilworker]

Uuups, sorry :coffee:

I knew he wanted to do this since we spoke about the portal stuff 4 years ago in Syberia. 2 years ago I proudly showed him my truck and now this...

I have tons more images for a reportage I want to do.

I also have great images from his Pur G with the Maltec (www.maltec.org) expedition cabin, if you like? From the striped and cut vehicle to the finished expedition camper.

So long,

Robert

Robert!

I can't believe you've started a thread in another forum that I'm going to be checking every hour to see if you've posted more pics.

You're ruining my life, man!


Cheers,
Mark

:eek: :yikes: HOLY awesome G-Wagen BATMAN!!!! At first I thought it was an Entdecker or something like it, I didn't see the portal axles... That is SO AMAZING. I just asked the fiance if I could buy a G-wagen and she said if I could make it look like that one I could... AWESOME. Now to go rob that bank I've thinking of to pay for it HAHAHAHA. That is a truly awesome truck. I'd hapily drive that for the rest of my life yes please and thank you mam... Does ORC have anything up about the conversion or do you know of a place where there's more info on the truck??? That's pretty much the perfect overland rig right there if you're not wanting something the size of a Mog/box combo.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave,

Tibus Offroad (killeraxles) makes the portals, Hans(I assume owner of ORC in Germany) is testing them out on his own G Pur/Professional.

Some more pics before the portals are on ORC's site here; http://www.orc.de//article.php?artikelid=84&sprache=2&anzahl=10

PS--I sold my red G but have a grey '03 on the way here. :smiley_drive:

[Oilworker]

Another side view..

There will be a full feature on these G wagons next month.

The portals are ready to go and this is one of two build for lucky customers.

[mk216v]

My eyes are bleeding... :drool::drool::Wow1::Wow1:

[Oilworker]

That´s nothing compared to what happens when Hans Baur (ORC) builds a long wheelbase G wagon with the carbon-fibre expedition cabon from Malte Asmus (www.Maltec.org) and Wolfgang Tibus´ bolt-on portals...that really is mental and almost beyond imagination....

To top that off you can only look at the expedition/hunting Haeglund the Hellgeth brothers (www.hellgeth.de) just build for a customer. Beyond anything I have ever seen or could dream of before I saw it in their workshop...

[RMP&O]

That is one bad arse G-Wagon!!! :Wow1:

My style of truck....pretty awesome. Here is another G on portals, these are Mog axles though.

Someday I am going to put portals under a dedicated overland truck. Until then, this is the best I can do....

Hellgeth are the kings of Mogs and Haaglund's for sure. Any pics of this expedition/hunting one?



The blue ORC SWB on Mog axles is one Eurotruck Importers in the USA sold. I don't know where it went though--very cool.

[Oilworker]

Sorry, I have been on the road to Dakar doing the support for a friend in his Porsche 911 Safari in the Africa Eco Race 2012.

But back again, here´s one of the latest ORC / Maltec Expeditin G wagons, build by Malte Asmus and based on a G Professional...

http://www.wild-rhino-racing.com/Maltec/AS1_2720_web1000t.jpg

If you like I can get you some interior shots, too.

[mk216v]

Yes please!

Interesting--the hood/fenders are matte black yet the rest of the rig is gloss black. I wonder why that is.

[Oilworker]

The matte/black is because of the walk-on surface with sand structure which comes with the Mercedes G Professional

More in the coming days.

Just the same expedition truck is currently in the workshop and that one will stand on the 4" bolt-on portals which I kicked off with my prototype request/order 3 years ago.

[mk216v]

The copper interior is excellent!
So the Tibus/Maltec/ORC will be 3yrs in the making?

[Nigel Caffiene]

Impressive. I am now wanting and daydreaming about a G-Wagen on portals with a mini bar in the back. :ylsmoke:

[Oilworker]

:ylsmoke: sounds doable :)

The expedition camper is being build as we speak.
The portals I kicked off when I persuaded Tibus to build me a set and he asked "do you really think there´s a market for them?"

I nice to see how it all comes together now. More images next week.

Ha, silly Wolfgang, portals are for kids. :sombrero:
He's now sold something like 10-20 of the $13,000 kits? You should get a rebate check Robert, LOL.

Looking forward to seeing the portal'd expo camper!
