Wow, what an incredible adventure you two have been on. I can not even imagine doing what you two have done and most would have thrown in the towel years ago. Seeing Jele swinging that hammer is testimony that she is an incredibly strong person both physically and mentally. Patrick has somehow persevered through all the back breaking work and the never ending project. You are both truly exceptional in every way!
Congrats - great upgrade! Shipping is a nightmare, way to stay patient. My Mog didn’t come with a spare, so when I changed my tires out I had to get the Rim shipped - took 2 months and that was only 1200KM away! Truck is looking awesome!!
Awesome! Good luck hehe. It really isn't that hard ;) make sure to bent the bottom step as well and widen the mudguards at some point :) Also, we had to bent back the rear bottom bit of the front mud guards to avoid the tyres touching them when in full lock🙈
Hi Guys, I love all your mog videos, Im a big fan. I am also building my mog a U2450L for overlanding and was hoping you could tell me the size and part number of the longer wheel studs you used for your hutchinson wheels. Finding info or parts here in Canada is like finding frogs featers. Best regards, Justin
Good results! I'm a bit confused however as I understood the valve connections are already US NPT thread? That proved the case with my UK project, sourcing I think German origin Hutchinson rims. I also had to chase up getting the split beadlock inserts to allow very low tyre pressure operation. I rejected the alternative runflat doughnut solid rubber inserts which are massively heavy. I've recently in principle also sourced new O rings from Hutchinson's UK contact, not too expensive and worth peace of mind I think to carry some spares. Mercedes referred me to the Gaggebau Unimog Museum for guidance on longer wheel studs and the washer type nuts and they came up with suitable Mercedes parts references No free lunches on any of this, but massive confidence rewards in sorting out the wheels and tyres ! I've gone Michelin XZL for a second time after 5 years with no tyre trouble but some cracked steel rims on the last truck. I sourced unused recent manufacture 'delivery takeoff' tyres much more cost effectively than new, trying 14R20 this time instead of 395/85 R20. Fractionally narrower but also fractionally taller and a slightly greater footprint. I've also gained the luxury of CTIS and have fitted isolating valves in the wheel hoses that will hopefully prevent leaks during lengthy parkups. A very inspiring build overall documented in your channel and good luck on your continuing travels !
Thank you! The rims came with a hole for the CTIS inflation valve that bolts to the rim, but we had to tap that hole in order to be able to fit the 1/4" NPT thread. We don't have beadlocks and also opted not to go for runflats due to the weight. We would love CTIS but it seems the axles for it are very rare for the 1700s not to mention the price tag on them... We just fashioned up a hose to inflate two tyres at once.
Nice- been following your travels & just bought a set of mil surplus Hutchinsons with Runflats. Do you know the model of the wheel studs you ended up getting?
So, today I really wanted to know and then found you about Karsten and Maxime. Smile, now continue in German, so you do not forget our wonderful language. Unfortunately, it often goes too fast, especially when you are in the U.S., and in the countries of the old vultures on the road. Euer Upgrade, super. Beim nächsten Mal, kontaktiert mich bitte und ich kann euch über DB in Deutschland, oder über Steyer in Österreich, eventuell euch fix helfen. Mein Gott, ihr habt verdammt viel dafür bezahlt. Ich glaube zu viel. Die Reifen sind gut, besser, diese Größe mit außen Profil. Ich weiß, nicht so einfach zu bekommen. In Zukunft, über Steyer, geht oft vieles schneller, außer Garantie. Guter Rat, euer Unimog ist vermutlich ein Zwitter, ein Teil ist metrisch, andere Teile in britisch Standard, oder in ASME, kann euch DB egal wo sagen, ist durch die Fahrgestellnummer heraus find bar, ist in der DB Akte hinterlegt. Oh Gott, wird bei euch nicht einfach sein, weil ihr fast alles selbst umgebaut habt. Lach, ich glaube jeder DB Dealer geht vorher freiwillig mit einem Saltie schwimmen. Bei einem Problem, sagt Bescheid, ich tu was möglich ist. Auf jeden Fall, zwei Werkzeugkästen einmal in DIN, bis NW 41 und einen in ASME / BStd. Standard. Zu eure Sicherheit, Windenseile: rollt diese aus, wascht die dann mit warmen Wasser und Öl darin gut aus. Und JETZT, kauft euch vorher Kokusfett, gut wärmen und damit die Windenseile paarmal abwischen, richtig satt. Ihr habt Salzwasserklima, welches auch A2 / A4 also V2A und V4A zerstört. Kokosfett schützt gegen jegliche Salz - Korrossion. Liebe Grüße aus Frankfurt und ich drücke euch die Daumen. chrome-extension://mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai/index.html
Vielen Dank! Wir werden darauf zurückkommen! Ja wir fanden es auch sehr teuer, insgesamt waren die Felgen und Reifen in den USA ja ganz billig, aber die Frachtkosten waren absurd... Das mit dem Kokosfett werden wir auf jeden Fall machen. Wir haben am Anfang mal ein bisschen Altöl drauf gemacht aber das wird bei dem Wetter wieder verdunstet sein ;) Viele Grüße
Hi, Thanks for great video! Do you know the part number or length of long studs? I got U5023 and 5 sets of hutchinson wheel and tyre set with CTIS. and want to try it.
Ouch, that was an expensive exercise. Did the new tyres make that much of an improvement in driving or handling or not getting bogged? I heard that the older AACO Mk3 ex-army trucks were better suited to the narrower tyres.
It was the best upgrade!!! Sooo much more stable and because they are tubeless, we can let them down more. Definitely makes a huge difference in sand. We would never wanna go back to the ADF cheese cutters anymore🙈🙈🙈 If you get rims in Australia they are crazy expensive. That's why we imported ours from overseas :)

Thank you so much❣️❤️ The build is still not 100% done, but the travels are so rewarding and were much needed😇
Wow those tyres look fab. No stopping the smog now!
Thank you🤩 Yeah it is sooo much better!
Those tyres are huge!

Thank you🤩
Yeah we imported 6 rims so we can have 2 spares when we travel remotely😇
Looks so good the new tires! 🤩
Yes🤩 We love it!
Great thanks for this video I'm picking up my mog central wheels this week . Wish me luck.
Awesome! Good luck hehe. It really isn't that hard ;) make sure to bent the bottom step as well and widen the mudguards at some point :) Also, we had to bent back the rear bottom bit of the front mud guards to avoid the tyres touching them when in full lock🙈
@@mathewwhite9139 no worries :)
If you have any other questions, let us know :)
That’s a damn good price on the tyres! Where did you get them and what brand/model are they?
Yes!!! We get ours in 2 weeks!!! (LawnMog)
Yay🥳🥳🥳
Nice one!! Keen to see how those tyres go for you and how tough the sidewalls are.
Thank you🤩
Great video!
Thank you😇
Should’ve had them in Barred creek
100% :D But it was more adventurous without them :P
@@PatandJele yess!!! 100%

@PatandJele Good timing, just setting out FINALLY on my first trip. I can report the OEM CTIS is very slow!
Nice- been following your travels & just bought a set of mil surplus Hutchinsons with Runflats. Do you know the model of the wheel studs you ended up getting?
Hey! Send us an email through so we don't forget and we'll have a look :) You can find our email address in the description of our videos :)

@@PatandJele Wohl wahr, die Transportkosten sind ein großer Teil der Kosten.

Send us an email, I should still have the part number somewhere in our emails.
@@PatandJele thanks!
Did the rims come with bead locks? Didn’t see them
No we don't have inner beadlocks. It is one of the things we are thinking about getting but haven't had too much use for them to get serious about it.
Helllo and well done. Sind das die 1326 Hutchinson's mit der ET 110? Oder ein anderes Model?
Genau die sind es ;) Gut erkannt.
