Oberaigner Sprinter 6x6 with KrugXP cabin
Well it's taken long enough but my vehicle is basically ready to ship out from Germany. LWB Oberaigner 6x6 Sprinter with a 4.7m long cabin built by KrugXP. I saw it last week at Hellgeth Engineering, who are assisting with the joining of the two parts and who have put in some tow points and additional fuel tanks for me (I went with plastic in the end). So it now has 200L total capacity.
It weighs in at a shade under 5,500kg empty, so should max out at about 6,400kgs once I've loaded it up and with all water (250L) and diesel tanks full. GVW is 7 tonnes so I'm well within that.
My concern now is the Euro 3, 4 cylinder 2,143cc engine was struggling on long inclines but I'm looking into mild ECU remapping for more torque - nothing major, nothing which will overstress the engine, which is available in several road cars tuned to much higher torque and power outputs than in the Sprinter.
