Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6
Hi, Iain: Yes, this infamous and dark issue we and the whole world are in the middle of right now has seen many plans cancelled and dreams broke. I wanted to go to Australia for a bike trip through the desert the next year, and maybe take a lip for a visit. Plop. The gearbox, actually, is hard but f...

Hello, Werner:
Just to add to the discussion the famous words: "Never pick a car (or a truck) directly from the internet. Go and drive it".
Good luck.

Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6
Thank you, Holger. Most appreciated words.
The problem of being in a lockdown, at least for me, is that many new and crazy ideas for the Merkabah come into my mind as there is plenty of time for it to occur. In short I will need a shrink.
Regards from Chile.

Okay. Waiting for the pictures to see how that thing is and how it works, I wonder if this is one of the reasons you found the truck so stiff. Also, the 16:00R20 are big monsters and, full inflated, they tend to make the ride very rough. What you know is true, according to my research, and you canno...
