I gather that there are different options for the speedometer drive. One is internal to the transfer case and the other is at the end of the speedometer cable and can be removed from the outside of the transfer case. They would need to be changed...

We (wife and I) took some advice from the lovely couple otherwise known as Sasquatch.tlc and toured your island’s north end. San Josef Bay and Side Bay were the highlights but we also enjoyed other places like Gooding Cove and some little towns...

If they’ve seen my 40 they’d not be surprised. After driving down the Washington - Oregon - California coast I was ready to leave LA. On the way out of LA I decided to see if I could keep up with traffic on the freeway. With 31 x 10.50 Michelin...

Such a tragedy. I had watched their build video. It was such an awesome truck. Speechless.

Been there. Cruiser was useful then too.

Shipping to Canada from Marlin Crawler is $138 for UPS expedited, but only $30 for UPS standard. I’d email the seller and find out if they can send it USPS (Unites States Postal Service) or UPS Standard (rather than expedited). Marlin’s pinion...

1967 Mercedes Dually Diesel - needs work, oh yeah. This isn't an overlanding vehicle. Should buy its not parked in front of your house with a homeless dude in it...

That reminds me of raising 3, 18’ long, 3 member, 2x12 beam eight or nine feet in the air to sit on top of posts. Great fun. 🤩

Met them nearly 25 years ago when I was a student at sfu. They were still driving it around then. Great to hear the thing is going to carry on.

My stuff doesn’t sit in the trees for years… We don’t have any trees.

"It’s sat in the trees for years since these pictures and needs a lot of love but I know just the guy for it!" Thanks Steve, I'm so glad you thought of me... I owe you one. ;)

That’s an impressive accomplishment. If I’d built it, it wouldn’t be parked under a tree and left to rot. Perhaps I’m biased, but I’d be more inclined to build a 4 door 40 series on a 60 series chassis. It would be so much easier to build with...

I gotta see if I can find that article I read about it. I think it was in a printed newspaper in the 90s 🤣

My ambo has a wiring a wiring diagram printed and attached above all the fuses, relays, wiring, and electrical components. Handy as can be. If it wasn't there I'd have been hooped several times.

Took me a sec to figure out how to read both gauges. I've not seen one quite like it before. It certainly saves some space.

It’s alive! Rear brakes are Caesar salad but it’s alive!

He didn't want to sell you the middle 4 feet of that frame? 🤣🤣
