Sebastian,
Don't you worry about the Jupilers... We even got a special fridge for them in the shop , as they are a part of the rebuild!!
Yes, it's a diesel engine. We tuned it so we get some 220 HP out of it, and, more importantly, it's got MASSIVE torque!

Update:
We're slowly but surely getting to the final stage of our truck.
Interior is almost complete, seats reinstalled.
Electrical is near completion... Paperwork being done in Germany.

Pics to come.
Man I can't wait to get this thing ready and on the road

No Steve, not for the moment...
It will have to wait till summer is over, because now we just want to spend as much time as possible in and behind the boat...

We finally did some more work on our truck...

Cleaned, sanded and repainted the mud guards, air pressure tank, front lift, spotlights and blinking lights.

Mounted these on the truck and also mounted the rear lights.

Not yet, but we'll have one before next winter.
We are getting a big mower first.
