The Unimog is one of the greatest vehicles every built. I wish I had one.

Dept. of Forestry if memory serves me correct, was one with a sleeper and utlility box attached (OEM) and even had a workable turret hatch over the passenger seat. That thing was a BEAST, very impressive piece of machinery. Edit: My buddies actually looked exactly like this, minus the diamondplating and the spotlight, same color and all.

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 |

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...... |

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.

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. |

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.
