Thanks for the offer Andrew - what would be very useful is the cab lifting device - they are fairly rare - not usually sold to individual owners but I hear the Army has lots of them.

Not much hope of mine fitting in a container unless I take the wheels off and run on bare rims, and take the camper box off - its 3.4m high. The box on the back if a full height - 1.95m internal and the floor is 1.4m off the ground.

Here are few photos of the current progress with the camper box.

How do you manhandle those tyres around? You'd almost need a small winch/pulley system to change them.

Thanks for the photos - very interesting.

The workshop bodied pinzgauer has a small hiab arm to winch the spare out of the locker behind the cab super useful idea.

The spare will be on the roof of the cab - and I'll have a small winch/crane to lift it up and down.

Once on the ground, it is not that difficult to get the tyres up and onto the bolts, just needs a block of wood, a lever and a bit of practise :D:D

It's coming along! That's going to be one big beast :o

More progress - just a few photos to show what I did this weekend. The one with my daughter and son it give a sense of scale.

Awesome! This thing will take you anywhere! And in style...cant wait to see it finished!

Is this a ex Army Mog???? Looking fantastic the build so far...

It is an ex-road railer - from NSW Railcorp - it used to have a crane and a cherry picker on it, and all the rail gear.

Thats one sweet mog.
