Wouldn't a 290 like that with potrals preform the same as a standard 300gd? its the same one, in ORC workshop, here it is ( in the background) before it had the conversion.

Dave :biggrin: Aaah there you are, thought you'd gone in, I will be down for Detling, the re-enactment there is always good. The Corps day was as dull as ussual, a couple of former "White Mice" sidled up to the G with interest. The ex monkey was chuffed with his cap, and the Wolf and 500 and FMML plate have been added to the collection. I enjoyed the day and the drive back was uneventful until I reached the rain belt. Cheers kidder. Keep your head down. Edited by roughneck 7/25/2007 4:43 AM | |

Posts: 686 | Re: Double cab pick up kashi123 - 8/3/2007 9:26 AM sources tell us that this vehicle no longer has unimog axles, and has now the original axles due to the owner not being able to put up with the speed when mog axles were fitted, also its looking a bit sorry for it self. Did Roughneck convert it back then??? No, this vehicle was owned by a guy who worked for Mercedes and VW, I understand that he couldn't put up with its handling and low speed. I'm not sure what Bill was on about at the begining of this thread, does he or dont he own it, ??? Not sure, may be he can put us straight, but as of last week it was outside ORC in Germany. So I was told Edited by G wizz 8/3/2007 2:32 PM | |

| EuroTruck Extreme Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Oakwood, Georgia - USA Vehicle(s): 2012 Audi A4 Avant S-Line, 2015 Ridley NOAH SL Posts: 518 | RE: Double cab pick up A source at ORC told me last year that the UNIMOG Axles were to be removed at the order of Ma Benz. The axles were not designed for that particular purpose, etc., ad nauseum, but that MB would be more than happy to homologate (test and supply paperwork for TUEV) them for the Gwagen for a cool one million Euro.
I also learned shortly after this that a bid for 2-300 Unimog axle equipped G's had been submitted by MB to either France or the USA, as the actual recipient has never been confirmed.
So, one would assume that, if MB is keen on selling G's with Mog axles, the best way to eliminate any possible competition would be to not allow them to build a truck with UNIMOG axles. -SP | |

There are many LR that have Portal axles be it unimog, volvo etc without any comeback | |
