It is basically tailormade and can be ordered in many different specifications. As this is the picture thread - here you go: (G 290 BM 11 Danish MP PREINING with sparetireholder and opening for the skylight.jpg) (G 290 BM 6 Post Garmisch with PREINING and rear facing right side ladder.jpg) (G 270 Worker BM 4 PREINING with rear left side ladder sparetireholder, antenna and toolbox.jpg) (G 290 TD BM 9 Danish Ambulance PREINING with sparetireholder, jerrycanholder and laterally attached ladder.jpg) (PREINING short version for sliding roof with shovel holder.jpg) (PREINING with rear facing working lights.jpg) Attachments ---------------- G 290 BM 11 Danish MP PREINING with sparetireholder and opening for the skylight.jpg (10KB - 12 downloads) G 290 BM 6 Post Garmisch with PREINING and rear facing right side ladder.jpg (56KB - 10 downloads) G 270 Worker BM 4 PREINING with rear left side ladder sparetireholder, antenna and toolbox.jpg (153KB - 13 downloads) G 290 TD BM 9 Danish Ambulance PREINING with sparetireholder, jerrycanholder and laterally attached ladder.jpg (167KB - 8 downloads) PREINING short version for sliding roof with shovel holder.jpg (134KB - 9 downloads) PREINING with rear facing working lights.jpg (94KB - 11 downloads) | ||

I looked back at the drab green DoKa and saw it was a Preining rack too. Do you have a URL for them? This is all I could find; http://www.business-austria.at/graz/1227306-preining-kg/kontakt | ||

If no pictures attached - we possibly get "dutched" to the main G-Forum !!! Mr. PREINING is rather an engineer than a marketeer. He's basically living from the larger scale orders he's getting, as he's having quite a network within the factory. As I'm on a frequent basis in Graz, it's easy for me to have a little chat with him and discuss the specs of a roof rack I like to have. For you guys over the pond, it's easier to take the VIN of a Canadian Army G 270 and order via a US or Canadian Mercedes dealership, than to try to contact PREINING KG in Graz. This way you avoid the costs of shipping from Austria to the US, which might be enormous (given the heavy weight and large size of those racks)!. BTW Karl Volger (nick: Fernweh), the Rockmeister has already fabricated a look a like rear ladder....so why give him a try for a serial production! Raicar

Well if I could find out how to properly post a pic here I would! (thanks for the leniency in the meantime Dutch!!) Any suggestions where to find VIN's for the Canadian G270's? I looked on Karl's G-Wagen Accessories site and don't see his roof ladder yet. Thanks as always for the help. You're a fantastic resource! | ||

The EPC lists this particular one as a north American market (Canada) available product, so chances are good you get it at your local dealership - maybe one of you guys over there tries at the dealership. At least Sean (Eurotruck), Vlad (four by four), etc. could check for you....pls. keep us posted!

That is a silly price. The guys at Daimler must be really crazy. Last Monday there was a military car auction in Vienna and there was also a Puch 300GDN with a nice Preining rack. The successful bid was 4.800 euro. http://www.dorotheum.com/auktion-detail/auktion_kfz-und-technik-8/l... | ||

At least Sean (Eurotruck), Vlad (four by four), etc. could check for you....pls. keep us posted! Thanks for the pics Raiko. I just contacted our local dealer (oldest one in the USA) using this exact pic #1 and the Canadian VIN and the parts guy said that even though it's in the EPC it doesn't show he can get the part for the USA since it's a Canadian vehicle. NOW, if it was a vehicle that was brought into the USA and had a US title associated with it, if you showed that to MBZ USA, they then would sell you the part. Without a US title they can't sell parts on vehicles from different regions/countries. He did say that this actual VIN(WDB4613311x163637) didn't come with the rack/ladder. Part numbers regardless; Ladder; 461-850-01-40 Rack; 461-850-51-03 I hope that helps! -Jeremy | ||

Besides of the weight, there is second disadvantage which is the lack of a better rust protection. My second PREINIG has rust spots at the outside of the legs, as had my first one after about the same time span. Will have those parts plastic coated soon. For you roof rack afficionados there is a similar rack, which is positioned closer to the roof skin, thus making it easier to enter parking garages. It's powdercoated, has the same rails like the PREINING rack - so you can individually distribute for example the Sprinter lashing eyes - plus it can be dissambled and thus the freight over the pond should be way cheaper. The only thing I don't like is the lower mounting point of the rear ladder - needs drilling in the cabin. Over all it seems to be top notch quality - the brand is LeTech: www.lennartz-technik.de/Komponenten.77.0.html As this is the pictures thread....
