It\'s a bus, it probably has a great big compressor somewhere for all the various air-actuated shit like brakes, doors etc.

[DRFVDR]

this set went onto a 45 Seat isuzu bus has air over hydraulic brakes so air was sourced from the auxiliary tank

has a switch on dash that operates a solenoid valve which supplies air to the units all happens in under a second

With the chains down in operating position

oooh I thought it might have been the lux

[DRFVDR]

Nah would doubt I would need it on the \'lux, They do do a smaller set suitable for Sprinters/Transits which have an electrical option for operating it, 4wd is always better BUT I can retrofit these to existing buses ( this is the third set I have done) they cost about $5k including freight from Germany, which is about $45k cheaper than getting a similar bus specced with 4WD.

Would still love a 45 seat 4wd bus ( I have 3 21 seaters and a 28 seater ) but you are looking at $500k to have one built ( 250k for chassis and same again for the body)

Buy a mog

And invest in a rollcage

Yeah nah

there are a few Unimogs out there that have had bus bodies fitted, and they will probably do the job ok, a few downs to them though 1/ height and instability, as we drive on a formed road we dont really need the height just awd/4wd for those bad days, 2/ with a bus body fitted they can really only accommodate about 15 passengers so for the price they cost to purchase and run they would become a burden really fast.

Believe me we have investigated pretty much every option There will be a crap load of cheap mogs coming up for sale very soon as the NZ defense have just purchased all new 4x4,6x6 and 8x8s

[94 Leone]

They went to MAN\'s because they\'re a lot cheaper; not bad trucks; but not as comfy as their mercedes equivalent.

Not as much torque as the mercs either; but I suppose that depends which engine package they go with.

[DRFVDR]

MAN pretty much = Merc anyway, not sure if merc does a chassis that can be adapted like the man one has, will still be a crap load better than 30 yo unimogs and they look farken cool

May look at a used \'Mog for a breakdown truck if they come up cheap enough BUT you may find that they will go overseas ( samoa/fiji/some other place we support )

My friend in the Terry\'s has quite the tale of their mog getting stuck, so they sent in another mog to try and pull it out which also got stuck, at which point they radioed for the recovery LAV which took 2 hours to show up and pull the mogs out.

Moral of the story: Get a LAV instead.

[Marky]

I\'m about 50% sure I was concieved in one

Horrible old things but the ultimate zombie apocalypse truck - they can do some amazing off roady things given a driver who understands what a 3m high COG and "positive camber unless loaded" means

What? I know because My old man drives a MAN, Adapted for fertiliser spreading, tractor tyres and jewels; it\'ll slide but it\'s unlikely to roll. They are good trucks, go anywhere; just if you\'re in it for comfort: an equivalent merc would be nicer: better air suspension and cab suspension for the driver. But MAN are definitely more bang for your buck than merc.

Maybe it\'s the blinged out version

[Marky]

Oh yeah had my spacers show up for homemade anti lift kit from slydawwwg too, that counts as "something done to car today"

Does that make it a HMALK?... Yes it does
