ok.... read here on my take on an upgrade I need help with. Granted the upgrade sorta is in the mind set of a Ricer.

Ricer Emblems

Howdy coachgeo,
One more thing you need to go along with the things you are getting is the "Mercedes Benz" lettering. Then put it all on the back doors so it's the last thing that speeder sees before he face plants himself into the pintle hook

You don't want to put that stuff on the front because it detracts from the star. Hope this helps.

Well.. actually you bring up an idea in my head completely opposit of what you said.

I could see the Turbo Diesel emblem in one of the corners of one of the grill, say near the head light. The grill on a Mog is HUGE so I dont think it will distract from the MB Symbol. On Mogs the MB symbol is HUGE too. Min is very rusty though so I have to do something to it... not sure what yet. paint it same color as what ever color I paint the Mog?

Yeah... and put 300TD on back... that will let the pintel hitch eater know he at least got to a little softer crunch cause I'm moving a fraction faster than a stock Mog. :p

Howdy coachgeo,
If you don't intend to put one of the big M.B. or Werner pto winches on the front then putting the Turbo Diesel emblem on the grill would work otherwise it would be blocked by the winch. If you really want to "rice" it, what you should do is put all the emblems on the grill and backlight them

mannnnnn u just keep given me ideas. To go totaly Ricer (which I wont) I would take off the MB Peace sign and replace it with a NEON one ...... ROGLMFAO

Winch- I have a Pierce 12,000lb that will go behind the bumper so it wont cover things.

Howdy coachgeo,
Just a couple finishing touches. You can get some of those firefly valve stem caps. And for the interier you need a Flameball stickshift nob for all the shifters

Dangggggg... Great idea. I'll have to save my money though to get a flameball for all the shiftstick knobs. I have 4 shiftsticks! Hmmmmmm not what to do with the two 4wd selectors and the parking brake selector hmmmmm

Howdy coachgeo,
If your Mog is 24v you might have to do some electrical magic for he Flameballs. Also I can hear the deafening silence on the other end of the phone when you SPELL U-N-I-M-O-G

Well any time you need help with some mods to help distinguish the Mog from all the Honda ricers at the mall just drop an e-mail

Howdy coachgeo,
Boy!¡ That last post of yours was funny. I thought the tech part was a real gut buster

Soooo!¡ Here is wat I would have done. I would have let the guy in Germany write the thing in German and then I would have sent it to Michael Smith of United Parts Service and let him translate it for me. I know that doesn't help this time but just think when something comes up like this again you will have the solution at hand.

coachgeo · #11 05-06-2003, 09:53 PM

It will still work. I was thinking of asking him to reply in German and then use a text translater along with looking for some German speaking folk on the Mogmail list to give me just another view of the material to piece the puzzle together with.

Thanks for the hint on who to have things translated by.

Frank X. Morris · #12 05-06-2003, 10:57 PM

Howdy coachgeo,
There are a whole bunch of people on the Mog list. Michael Smith keeps an eye on it . Jim Ince and Hakkan (sp) Anderson come to mind. You might as well go straight to the Mog ml. Some of the translater websites seem to miss on German especially when you throw in tech stuff. Good luck in getting things fixed.

Im there... one of the responces by another mogger created a forray of educational and confrintational responces about Politics and Economics. That delayed the broken english from getting dechiphered. It was interesting forray though.

Things are back on track over there now and Im begging to get responces that actually are helpfull.

There I'm Moggn Jeepn Jessup.
