Uh Oh, I guess Horst won't be talking to us lowly mutt owners anymore! :lol: Nice truck, I always wanted one and if I ever get one it will be a winch model. By the way, how much is diesel fuel in Germany? :roll: :twisted:

Not meaning to criticise Horst but why are the bumper markings upside down?

as you know pictures don't really show the truth. It seems to run good, but it is very very rusty. I always wanted one and this was the only one I looked at. I bought it because I did know that every minute more thinking about it would make me think logically and make me not buying such a monster.

Bumper markings are upside down because it was originally without winch. The previous owner got the winch and part of the installation is to turn the bumper upside down. I don't need a winch, I don't even know if it works, but I like the meaner look...

Diesel is about twice as much as in the States. On steel soldiers there is a lot of discussion of people actually using the multifuel capabilities and drive them with WMO. I don't think at this time that I will enter those adventures with the amount of time I have and the resulting actual miles.

I like it.
I read somewhere when a new buyer tried out his winch for the first time and he hadn't read the manual. Tore that sucker up with the first try....oh, well.

Horst
Nice rig 8) I had heard that overseas, larger M series trucks (2.5 & 5T) were either hard to come by or expensive to purchase (let alone feed & shod). If anyone 'State side wants one of those beasties now's the time to buy as they're dirt cheap (to buy,not feed :wink: ). Occasionally, I get a jonez for a 5 ton but have my hands full with the Ferret, M37 & M151A2. Maybe some day down the road I'll pick up an M35 like you did.

I remember over on Steel Soldiers someone was using their winch and drove over a pick up truck or ran the deuce up a tree, dont exactly remember. Hell it may have been both. The pics were cool though.
