Can't believe it. I did a search and there was nothing re: unimogs except my own post in the Lounge. There has got to be some out there.
Would love to have one or two or three..... :love:
They were and are way ahead of their time. Provided that you really need what they offer.
I think they can beat the snot out of a Hummer any day. :backoff Don't care for H's that much anyway.
Anyway, any UNIMOGS out there?????

My younger brother has a 1966 404.1 German Radio Box Unimog. He also has a 1974 712M Pinzgauer 6X6. Both are way cool trucks. These photos are not of his but of similar vehicles.

No don't have one but we are a dealer for one and I got to "test" a brand new one a few weeks ago. Transfer case is marked with a picture of Turtle and Rabbit. Put that sucker into turtle and you have to look at the ground to see that your moving. Also has a central tire inflation system that you can air down the tires sitting in the cab. ;Sweet

Had a MB 4/94 cascading transmission. They all rate a 10 on the cool scale but are really to impractical / expensive to maintain for me.

You have every right to be. He lives in Tucson and is a true off road desert enthusiast. He also owns a '97 Land Rover Defender and a '84 Range Rover. Too many vehicles...not enough time...:thumbsup:

I've got a unimog. It's great for pulling out stuck wahoo 4X4's that are top heavy with minimal ground clearance at the axles, but a modern diesel pickup is great for pulling a trailer loaded with a unimog over pavement at highway speeds. My mog has 16'' of ground clearance under the differentials. There is 16'' of axle articulation and 16'' of frameflex stock. I have driven over downed trees where the wheels were 24" off the ground when on top of the trunk and not highcentered on the log as I drove over it.

Very nice!!

What sort of drivetrain setup do you have in your 'Mog? I'll admit to not knowing much about them...

BTW, welcome aboard :cool

I purchased a 416 a couple of weeks ago, and I have had buyers remorse ever since. I agree with Roland...MEGA cool, but my bank account won't be able to support the Mog when it comes time for needing parts.
