Very nice. I have no doubts about the quality of the construction, or the components used, and the size is just about perfect.
Well done. I hope you have great success with this model. I hope to see one on the road some day.

For those of you who don't know Hodokaguy, he's a craftsman who pays attention to detail and builds / restores amazing rigs.
I've followed the build report on this truck (and other vehicles) and can wholeheartedly endorse him.
Whoever buys this truck is pretty much guaranteed to have a rig that...
I've been inside the Revel and it has a really nice layout considering it's size. I'd like to think I had something to do with the design when they were sending out surveys at Outdoor Retailer on August 2016.
Personally, I think that having a decent shower in ones rig is one of the main...
Thanks for sharing that. I'll watch the series this weekend.
One of these years, I hope to have the time to take an interesting trip, and make similar quality videos.
Till then, I'll travel vicariously and work at my desk.

The truck shop that did the tires on my U1300 did not do anything to the alignment.
The previous tires did not have any abnormal wear, only severe cupping, but they did have about 30K miles on them.

When I had the MPT81 365/80 R20 tires installed, the truck shop was able to do a high speed dynamic balance on each wheel as part of the installation process.
Truck is vibration free at cruising speed of 80 KMH (50 MPH).

+1 on the Redline synthetic oil. I use it on my U1300 and if you time the rpm's the shifts are easy. You'll figure it out. Congratulations on your new friend.

Thanks for taking the time to include us in the 'build report'. I've always admired the EarthCruiser vehicles.
I'll keep checking back to see how this design finishes up.
Great work as always.

Bump for a great truck.
Bigger bump for one of the best ads I've seen on EXPO.
Good luck with the sale. The next owner will have a happy life with this rig.

This is all true. The older Unimogs are very simple machines. Simple brute force technology as opposed to modern electronic wizardry. Most commercial truck repair centers do not have a difficult time doing the work on them. But as the OP stated, getting parts can take time. I would estimate...
Hey Maltec people.
Just letting you know that I think you have an amazing products. Nice sized trucks and it looks like very high quality workmanship.
I'll most likely be at Overland Expo West in the spring 2018 and will definitely stop by to see you if you are there.
Again, very nice products.
