All it needs is a Hippie Drill so they can drive their way to safety down south

Cool looking, but looks TOP HEAVY aka rollover mobile... AC They get around pretty well... |
|
Dude, it is a Magpul mobile. It is loaded with mags and hand stops...
AC |

The Unimog is one of the greatest vehicles every built. I wish I had one.
|
|
Had to sell a lot of PMAGS to fund that puppy.
BTW, what's up with the police light bar at 1:22? |
|
I am aquainted with one of the guys building that for Magpul. It's pretty impressive.

Quoted: Only real cool (and practical) Unimog is this beat, an excavator model, and I could have used this over the past two days to dig the fuck out of this nasty white death we're dealing with! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/UNIMOG_excavator.JPEG Resize that fuckin pic, man!! |

That bad boy would suck on a long drive even with the "fast axles"...
I do like it though Unimog's are without peer... All it needs is twin miniguns rooftop mounted with the passenger side hatch |
|
Much of everyone's money as they have, you would think they would have a Mog more along these lines...
MaxiMog |
|
I would buy one.
Now all we need to do is scream and yell that we want this, wait 3 years amid metric tons of hype and speculation, watch MagPul finish it, begin to bring to production, then sell off the whole deal to Chrysler, and promptly pay 4x the original price 3 years before...... |

If you save up proof-of-purchase from 1,000 pmags you get to ride around the block with chris costa. once.

|
Unimogs are great, well engineered and will go anywhere.... given the time to do so.
just don't expect to get there fast |

i would think that narrow of a wheel base and that high of a center of gravity would be detrimental to offroading. seems to me you are asking to roll that mofo.

When I was in the Danish army, I saw Land Rovers and Mercedes G's roll (although that was partly because of the TOW launcher making it top-heavy), and I saw larger Magirus trucks roll, but I don't think I ever saw an Unimog roll. I'm not trying to say it can't be done - I'm sure it happened, obviously. I'm just saying it wasn't a common problem. They really are quite amazing off road. |

I'll take your word on it cause that is the first time i've ever seen one, that was just my gut reaction when looking at it. |

I was an operator of one back in the early 90's for a week straight on the CA/Mexican boarder building a boarder fence. |

Quoted:
Too narrow, too short, too high...fail. Yeah, Mercedes sure failed when they built probably the best off-road medium utility truck in the world in the early 50s, and have steadily improved it since. |

It definitely LOOKS top-heavy, but the design of the suspension and four-wheel drive and all that complicated power transfer and gearing stuff , as well as the wheel size, just makes it unbelievably effective off-road. |

Do a search for "truck trials" on youtube. They do some amazing things with Unimogs. I saw video on one going down such a steep grade that it flipped over forward.
