FAQs and Global G-Klasse Web Links....... Look Here First!

Post#1 » Sun Jun 13, 2010 12:12 pm

First See the Clubgwagen.com Links Page via the Nav Bar Above

Note the Clubgwagen.com Links Web Page:

http://www.clubgwagen.com/links/index.php


but lots of other links posted in below by community members....

Thanks Jeremy for this great addition idea....!

Jeremy asked...

Has anyone thought about having a FAQ post at the very top as a sticky?

Could be used to house informative links like;
-Technical info
-DIY repairs
-Links
-Etc

It's a good idea and something I've seen done well on a few other sites (non-G-wagen).
It takes time though - something I have little of these days.

How about people start posting links in this thread that fit the following criteria:
g-specific
threads that explain common issues, upgrades, solutions to G wagens

examples: 463 window regulator fix, 460 engine swaps, tire size, common gearing, etc...

Then one of the moderators can clean it up and make a sticky thread.

Yes, thanks Christian. Clubwagen is a phenomenal US resource for G info and I think a FAQ "sticky" at the top of the Technical forum would spur others(especially noob's like me) to make Clubwagen "THE" best G resource.

It could even be divided into specific categories;

1) Engine
A) Engine Issues
B) Engine Swaps
--I've found Hunter's Turbo Diesel thread very informative, I vote it;
http://www.clubgwagen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=736
C) Engine Improvements

2) Transmission/Drivetrain

3) Suspension

4) Braking

5) Wheels/Tires

6) Exterior

7) Interior

8) Electrical/Lighting

9) Miscellaneous

Even as a CW "noob," I'd be willing to help with this however I can.

Best,
Jeremy

there's a bunch more but that's a quick start.

NOTE: lets try to keep this thread streamlined. Once we have a bunch of info collected, I'd like to take a crack at organizing it and deleting all the fluff so it's an information list that's quick to read.

Excellent Christian. In the meantime I could help organize this info if you have other CW tasks to attend to. This way it won't seem so overwhelming once others start adding info in. If you feel like any is fluff, feel free to delete.
