Want want want , does that help

mcmoonter - do it.
You know it makes sense.

That's pretty cool. I had a u1500ag and it was an awesome bit of kit. Would go anywhere. Here's a useful link but be prepared to loose an hour or two! - http://www.unimogs.co.uk/newsletter.asp

You could fit a helluva lot of wood in the back of that.

Buy it!!!

There's some good blogs/images out there of converted Bedford horseboxes with woodburners fitted and big enough to take a wood store with you 🙂

I was going to mention that there quite slow too, or at least the one a friend has(had?) was, but the [url= http://www.unimogcentre.com/unimog404specs.html ]spec's suggest[/url] they have a max of 66mph (admittedly that is a max, not a cruising speed)

Now if it was a Pinzgauer , that would a lot more fun
oh dear... luckily I don't have a spare £21000

Don't really get this particular niche. What's good about these then?

In my examples, they're bloody great trucks with 8+ litre engines that go vroom!

(and in the first one can be justified with a veneer of 'it'll make a practical all road camper van' if you squint a bit)

This is only £6k and would make a fine support vehicle for 24hr mtb races

They're for people who go camping in Africa (or people who wish they were people who go camping in Africa).

It's not retro, it's just old.

I wonder if the roof will still open with the petrol heater above it?

Bet they've (mostly) got huge blind spots.

Would you spot the cyclist who'd pulled up beside you as you wait to turn?

Yes, you'd spend your entire time towing out Audis and BMWs that had got stuck in the mud...

If your going camping, wouldnt you want to watch TV ?

I couldnt believe the size of this thing, top of the radiator grille was head height !

Aaaaargh! McMoonter you are a very bad man, love Unimogs and big 4x4 toys.
Had to compromise on mine due to storage and the narrow access up the lane to our house, so ended up with this - carries 8 peeps, sleeps 2, Subaru 2.2 powered, 4x4 with front and rear diffs and I love it.

What was the one a while back with a detachable body that folded itself down to fit in a shipping container..?

That's *lovely*. Great engineering, fantastic build quality and looks like a Tonka-Toy.

Brilliant! Thanks.

Is this in Sheffield? I've often admired it if it's the same one.

I live near an MoD Vehicle servicing depot and they have loads of small van things with really funny camber angles, don't know what they are called but they look like they'd be the business.

Love the patronising tone of the Fuso vid - "the Fuso can be driven by anyone" (- Including blondes! look!) 😀

Never have such vehicles made a T5 look more appealling.

are they from the Stallone Judge Dredd film?

Yep, they looked really good in the flesh too, they did the rounds of county shows in 1995, saw them at the Royal Welsh. LandRover 101 with GRP bodywork and great paint.

My thoughts exactly

I had a 101. Great fun and the ambulance body or radio body version would make an excellent camper, but I'd do it with an ambulance bodied Wolf.

Seem to recall Versace designing the costumes - wonder if there was a hand in the vehicles too...

A mixed bag, for sure. 😀

The guy once wrote an article for STW, describing how he drove around zee mountains in a converted satellite broadcast truck. It was ace.

Damn you all! I so very want something like a 'Mog, or LR101, with an expedition back on it, and all mod-cons.
That VW Combi with Scooby engine would work, too.
However, something that does this has immense appeal...

Tomaso, what are you having difficulty with? When you find the image you want, and copy its URL, you just past into the window in the IMG box you get when you tap the button ^^, but you have to delete all the text in the box first.
I use a tablet exclusively, and not found any significant issues.

"Says a man with the imagination of a house brick"

Pah! The bloody things look like house bricks!

Posted this link before, but it's a great read about how to change a military truck into a living space: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/expedition-vehicles/955676-mah-deuce.html

In Germany right now and seriously struggling with not purchasing this:

Not seen anything on this thread that I want more than the OP's Unimog tbh. It really does appear to be right in every possible way.

Dear Santa...

First time I ever saw one was whilst cycle touring in Africa. I had no idea what they were and my mate belittled me.

It was the coolest thing I have ever seen. Covered in solar panels and a complete camper van.

4x4 could go anywhere. I have been hooked ever since.

I think they are one of those things you admire but in reality its probably not that great. (Unless you have deep pockets)

I saw this cute one in the Verdon a few years ago:

Those reynolds are fairly awful things but i remember seeing them on an army base in warminster and being told they were test parachute dropping them out the back of Hercules.

what a great thread

I'd love a 4x4 overland camper

the purple land rover 101 is great, would love that

OK take two of picture posting modern 4x4 van - thanks Count!

[img] [/img]

every time i ride through auchbreck up near glenlivet i see the mog grave yard.

shame as there are so many in there you could build a couple of good ains if you were given the opportunity.

I had a look at some youtube clips last night on 404 'mogs. Wow, they are amazing for such an early design. This one may have been modified a bit.

Specs say the mpg in the one in my OP would be ~ 10 max 😯

Like the BV 206 turned into a mobile DJ thing. Do not ever consider one of the Reynolds things. Worst vehicle i have ever driven.

In fact there is nothing cooler than a BV206. They swim, they have tracks and are just generally awesome.

I've wanted a Mog since seeing one like this converted to a camper and being driver by 2 mad German blokes through Wadi Rum when we were in Jordan:

[img] [/img]

I'd love it if we got one of the updated versions to play with:

[img] [/img]

Never heard a good word said about the Reynolds Boughton. I wonder if the MOD regretted selecting it over Land Rover's proposed alternative, the Llama.

[img] [/img]

I went to see the 'mog this afternoon. For a near 50 year old truck it was in amazing condition. The engine bay only had a light coating of dust from storage. The radio body had it's own suspension system. One or two bits of rust on the cab sills. The roof looked as if it had never been wet. There were no oil or fluid leaks.

It had been in Fife just along the road from me. It's titled owner was Lord Elgin.

The vendor had been mucked around with one previous buyer. A second had sent a cheque that was yet to clear. I left him my number. I think he'd take just under £3,000 for it which would make it a steal.

Fire up the mog !!!!!think of the previously un accessable logs you could get. Portal axels for the win.

Trailrat, my brother and I have been carrying logs out of the woods clearing up after a series of chainsaw courses. I tried to get the Land Rover in between the trees but it was impossible. Once you get into it it's not so bad. I hope to build another couple of Holz hausens before Christmas.

The axle clearance on the 'mog was unbelievable.

Yeah but your landy has all those frivalous bits on them 🙂

Yah lad in the offroading club up here used to have portals on a trials landy. Raised the cog too much and it would fall over all the time :/

Ooooo, new form name to mogmoonter?
