I was at a car show and found my next truck
I saw this thing that some dude bought to a car show in North Hollywood. He said he'd sell it to me in 10 years so I'm starting a quarter jar tonight.

Re: G-wagen deep into Utah, Canyonlands, Moab, Toroweap.
Yeah the roll should have been! The G is working out well but I miss the 303/Pinz room a lot. A 7 mile hike in the Bridges area paid off with this ruins site which was left alone about 700 years ago. It's amazing how this stuff stays intact in this region. Back east, I'm used to all the physical his...

Don't look at this pic on an empty stomach! And yes, it was probably kinda stupid to do.

Re: G-wagen deep into Utah, Canyonlands, Moab, Toroweap.
Camping in the G isn't as good as it was in the Pinz or Volvo, but I got it working.
Some photos from the White Rim road again, as well as inside Needles.

Re: G-wagen deep into Utah, Canyonlands, Moab, Toroweap.
Thanks for the comments. I was actually forced to use a horribly cheap point-and-shoot camera (of hers) so many shots I have are messed up in some way, and some are not useable at all. Quick update. The G on the White Rim road in two different spots. That drop off is much deeper than it looks! A din...

G-wagen deep into Utah, Canyonlands, Moab, Toroweap.
After getting the G all sorted out, I finally got a real start out of Vegas in the 12th. I went straight to Az to a rarely visited part of the Grand Canyon via a 50 mile off-road/dirt road to Toroweap which is an overlook with a 3000ft. drop straight down. From there I went up to Ut. toward Needles ...

Re: Moab, Needles, White Rim.. Gwagen upgrades
Thanks. Yeah too bad schedules are always crossed up when it comes to people meeting in Moab. Ive tried in the past to meet people but its always very tough with timing. You do happen upon a lot of interesting people though, even if you don't try. I guess the motor is like the motor in the Pinz. Som...

Re: Moab, Needles, White Rim.. Gwagen upgrades
For budget reasons, I couldn't get the sound matting (from heco.net) that I normally use on project trucks and settled on this not-so-bad jute/alum. stuff. Auto/outdoor carpet will go over top and they will be glued together but I am not gluing the insulation to the floor! (dont ever do that) The ma...

Re: Moab, Needles, White Rim in mid April
Tons of work being done before the G's big trip and it's almost over. One little item was a headlight upgrade. I've been wanting to get some Hella E-codes with city lamp for a year now. I finally made the order with Rallylights.com and looked into changing out the city lamp blub to get a better &quo...

You may want to look at what I did here. http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7824 Keep anything that sticks off the floors. You want something like the stuff I used on the floors which you can just pull up to clean under. The last two materials here: http://www.heco.net/noi...

Moab, Needles, White Rim.. Gwagen upgrades
I've been trying to get back out there for a few years now. I can suddenly make the trip work. I'm taking the old Puch 300gd G-class to southern Utah for much of April after some weekend test runs at Mogfest and Death Valley showed me some areas that needed attention. I'll post some pics here when I...

Re: West coast fab tour 2014
You can pick up those rack pieces and take a look at that rust issue to see if you think it can be fixed without lifting the body. Im ready to do it if its possible.

Re: Original Bosch Lights
I got a set for my G from them. Shipping was slow as hell this time but I have been getting lights from them for 15 years.
If they are out, you can also go to this guy who is great to deal with.
