Shame about the black fairing offside, oh and the gearbox.
4x2 ?
chaversdad:
4x2 ?
could be hiding a mini midlft axle behind the skirts, tidy looking motor though
Wonder if he will come on and tell us, he doesn’t come on much these days.
crikey all that devotion to an old truck
and now Kazam
new and unblinked
God, you’ll be giving him a big head.
A few more. Yes it’s 6x2 mini midlift. Fuel and maintenance costs were the contributing factors in change. The corner deflectors are black by choice and there’s nothing wrong with the gearbox. It’s been no trouble at all so far. Time will tell of course.
I’m on here now and again, just sometimes easier not to get involved.
Rob, that’s a beauty. I think Merc and Volvo have really stole a march on the competition with their present offerings, in looks and tech. Nice choice and well presented, but no more than I’d expect coming from you.
I’m just about getting to recognise you before you’ve passed me. Was that you I saw at Cambridge services a couple off months back in a Trott rent merc, if so the penny has at last dropped.
I thought you might’ve a couple off the weight saver wheels under those skirts, I remember you talking about it a few years ago.
for the life of me I just cant understand why the height indicator is on the passenger side
Oh and rob you might wanna change it
Cracking looking motor.
I think its got the perfect amount of bling too
Nice truck and Mercs seem to go on forever but everyone I have ever driven always seem gutless especially on hills.
My height indicator is in the same place.Can’t see why thats a problem
cracking looking truck shame your not as involved on here as you used to be mate

well if your changing trailers Often I would have thought having it at hand and not having to climb through the cab to change it would have been better … also its set at 0 feet and 10 inches seth 70 so you might wanna get your EYES CHECKED
