Comment on Gas shocks for front flip up window by WJM http://www.trog.us/2010/05/05/gas-shocks-for-front-flip-up-window/comment-page-1/#comment-4273 WJM Tue, 18 May 2010 22:06:39 +0000 http://www.trog.us/?p=732#comment-4273 Hope you won't be driving that way, with the window open....any major bump will send the window crashing down. There are gas-shox with rotating clamp mechanism, for a rigid lock, but I doubt even those could take the full force of 10G or more.... Btw, before anyone wonders: yes, you can drive at full speed with the window(s) open; air speed can even be neatly controlled by opening/closing the side windows, from a (remarkably mild) breeze to full storm. Or better: in hot/humid climates, you *must* drive with that window open, otherwise you will suffer a heat-stroke, with the additional heat radiating from below (engine+radiator)....:)) Note also that the front window is already vulnerable to large bumps in the 'slightly' open position (overturning the bottom clamps as 'pusher'), because all the weight then hangs on the top hinges, instead of being tightened into the rubber seal....that is possibly a good thing of your shox, taking some of the load off the hinges (but at any major bump, that advantage is limited too....). Alternative: originally Volvo had also a toothed elbow-joint available, apparently factory in some markets (Malaysia); the ones used in the Dodge Power Wagon W52 are supposed to fit....this would then also allow incremental/inbetween positions, more than just 'unclamped' & fully open.

Not as fast as the 303 axles (5.99) and the C304 axles (7.5x i think). Weight is around 7000 lbs, though I haven't weighed it on a scale. It is stretched about 1/2 meter vs the c304.

It's pretty easy to work on, and parts are, for the most part, available. The engine is the B30A, the same used in the Volvo 164 passenger car. The drivetrain past the motor is the tough part -- pretty much any part there has to come from a donor vehicle. There just isn't that many Volvos in the US, so often they have to come from Sweden. The 6x6 is slow -- the drive ratio on nearly all is 7.56:1. I have a "fast axle" civilian version that is 7.01:1. At 4000RPM, my max speed is around 55-60mph. with the slower axles expect an even lower top speed. There are rumors of an add-on overdrive for the Volvo being in the works. Mogs are slow too. I can't really comment on the merits of the Volvo vs a Unimog 1300 b/c I'm not that familiar with mogs. Are you on the volvo303 yahoo group? It's the most active volvo group on the web. you may also want to attend www.northwestmogfest.com . There you will get more than an earful about the merits and flaws of each vehicle.

It might be simple luck that the left one works without problem. So by mounting a restistance there, you might avoid getting problems in the future.

Comment on A C306 made of rust by Dave Llewellyn http://www.trog.us/2008/04/27/a-c306-made-of-rust/comment-page-1/#comment-19 Dave Llewellyn Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:27:05 +0000 http://www.kmonkey.com/blog/trog/?p=152#comment-19 If it any consolation, I don't think ex military Vehicles are much different. I have a TGB1321 / C304 which I am doing a camper conversion on. I spent 6 months last year, working most weekends, stripping the cab and lower rear steel panels to bare metal, cutting out 10 areas of rust and welding in patches. The result was terrible, the nice neat patches made the general appearance of the panels worse than they were when I started. Six months wasted effort! The above was due to total lack of experience at doing this type of work and a refusal to see the truth. I have just got the body finished having cut away both sides of the rear tub and made up replacement panels using 1.2mm galvanised sheet. Hopefully this will outlive me - I am damned if I will do it again. Best of luck with Trog & congratulations on the baby Regards Dave If it any consolation, I don’t think ex military Vehicles are much different.

You are probably getting a lot of questions from people when you take it on the road. Even at gas stations, I kept getting people walking up asking about the truck and wanting to take pictures. You were the right person to buy TROG, since you were able to fix it the right way. Regards, Paul Wow, you’ve made great progress on TROG.
