wagon work wednesday – installed midcity engineering remote start, weistec engineering oversized transmission pan, front brake pads and snow tires. These wheels are off a CLS550 and have a less aggressive backspacing vs my other silver set from a CLS55. All ready to head north for Christmas.

Strangest ICP concert I’ve ever been to…

I finally welded up a set of stainless muffler delete pipes for the wagon. Stock cats and resonators remain (annual emissions testing). It’s a bit loud while in cold start but seems about perfect after that’s done. With the band clamps I can swap to the stock mufflers in under 30 minutes, not that I’ll ever do that 😎 Definitely a great way to wake up any m157 powered car.

#bonnevillesaltflats during our 2018 road trip out west. We’re loading up the wagon and heading to New England next summer with #rallynorthamerica to raise money for Camp Sunshine. Our team donation link is in my bio.

After a year off, we’re hitting the road again in 2019 with @rally_north_america . Rally North America has raised over $1 Million for various charities over the last 10 years. Our team raised over $3,000 for Hope for the Warriors in 2017 and we would love to exceed that.
It’s the time of the year for giving so please make a tax deductible donation to Camp Sunshine today. A link to our donation page is in my bio.
Please help children with life-threatening illnesses and their families attend Camp Sunshine!
This past year, more than 600 families from 46 states and 5 countries had the opportunity to regroup, reenergize and restore hope for their future at their lakefront retreat. Each session Camp Sunshine hosts is disease specific so families have the opportunity to connect with others, perhaps for the first time since their child was diagnosed, who truly understand the challenges they face.

Thursday throwback to a lunch above the clouds of lake Como on our 2014 road trip. We’re working on our 2019 plans if anyone has suggestions in the Maine, Nova Scotia area.

366 days to 40. Time to get back at it with a 2000 calorie workout, fueled by apple pie for breakfast… If anyone wants to be my workout buddy on the myzones tracker let me know. They have a system that equals out points for people of different fitness levels. We have a new charity we’re working with if there is interest to put together a contest with monetary penalties (to a good cause) as motivation 😎

Just keeping the convertibles in out of the rain. After folding down the windshield the box clears the door by about half an inch.

Cold morning at #overlandexpo but plenty of great trucks to check out. After our trip out west I’m in love with these huge overland motorhomes. Nothing like taking a hot shower and air conditioning deep into the back country.

For my birthday I need a lift and maybe a larger fire extinguisher… After a month of sitting in the garage, I’m finally fixing the hole in my exhaust and the bonus hole in the floor I received from some road debris on our last road trip.

Installed the massive PTO driven winch on the Unimog today. It looks the business but the extra 400lb sure isn’t helping the garbage power to weight ratio. I “raced” a full tanker semi today. I had him to about 35mph… #unimog404 #unimog #mercedes #mercedesbenz #winch #4×4

Apparently I need to build a skid plate for the e63 wagon… Couldn’t avoid a piece of road debris in southern Illinois that punched a hole in my exhaust. It sounds worse than it looks. Good times.

The Unimog is plated and ready to hold up traffic. I did about 35 miles running around this afternoon. GPS max speed was 52 down a good hill but it’s pretty fun to just cruise around in. #unimog #mercedesbenz #mercedes #unimog404

Spent the afternoon finishing up this 3×5 welding table and various fixtures from certiflat. Should be a great new place for stuff to accumulate in my shop… #welding #fixturetable #certiflat #tigwelding #migwelding #fabrication #metalworking

New project. 1963 Mercedes Unimog. It’s a troop carrier built for the Swiss army. With about 70hp it isn’t getting anywhere fast but I have a few ideas on how to make that a bit better. #unimog #unimog404 #mercedesbenz #mercedes #sprintervan #sprinter3500

Hanging out at my parents place before heading to Chicago on Sunday for IMTS. I’m typically here in the winter so good to see their vineyard and garden in season.

Switching things up this week with these first generation CLS AMG wheels. I love the look but the rear offset is a bit aggressive. Time for a widebody kit… #e63wagon #e63s #e63samg #e63 #e63amg #mercedesbenz #mercedes #amg
