Unimog info?
Anyone know of a Pelican-esque or samba-esque site for Unimogs? I found one that seems like it might be a good candidate.

P.M. "cneilsen"; Chris is our local Unimog expert up here in the NW. He can probably steer you towards some good information.

I think Jake Raby has one of those with a type IV VW motor in it, or do they all have that?

Slow but will go about anywhere you want it to go, powered by MB 4 or small 6 cyl diesel engine, made for the German Army never exported to the US someone must have brought it into the US. A great hunting vehicle, built like a tank.....

Throw in a turbodiesel and use it to tow the 911 to the track.

There's not really a good forum for Unimogs. A buddy of mine has one and the best info he got was from this low-tech mailing list- http://www.tx4x4.com/. Pirate4x4.com has a Unimog forum- but it doesn't get much traffic. Try expedition imports too, they sell parts and service. They also have a big for sale section- good to get an idea of what various mogs are going for.

There's a guy I met nearby who had a Unimog pickup with a really short wheelbase, and the mercedes 617 turbodiesel engine. Great because they made millions of those engines. Quote:
