Hi Grif
5 diff locks available - across all three axles, one 'centre' diff plus one between the two rear axles - that should help keep me going! Check out the www.krugxp.com site for pretty much what I'd be specifying - a full live in cabin on the single cab LWB chassis. James I'll be having the back coach built by others - I don't have the time or temperament to build the whole of the cabin to the sort of quality I know it'll need to survive. Maintain it - yes, build it - I fear I'd never finish it!
Good point about the track width. I've been looking just now and can't find a figure but I suspect you are right that it may be close to HGV width. Hmm, food for thought. Ramp angle is good - 30 degrees or more depending on how I spec the back. Wading depth is 600mm as standard.
I'll be keeping it many years I hope and will be registering it in / setting out from Dubai. I guess if I bring it back here, where NOBODY drives diesel cars it'll be easier to sell. The diesel is 500ppm sulphur here and destroys modern engines, anyway why would you bother when a V8 petrol costs the same to run as a diesel.
All good points - keep 'em coming (I haven't been completely put off yet!)
