Time to say farewell to the Unimog

[normalbloke]

It is time to sell my trusty steed. It has been fun!
Anyone for a proper 4x4? Relentless torque and traction, 16 forward and 16 reverse gears?
9 ft wading?

Looks nice, shame I'm £17950 short of the price though Can't be that many Mercedes Unimog U1000 for sale though

Oh dear...

That is a hell of a lot of 'gear levers'.

[Ayahuasca]

Normalbloke is this your Unimog?




What a great vehicle, might cost a bit to ship it over though.

What are all the gear levers for?

[bigblock]

I think that needs a picture.....

[Hooli]

With all those levers, the Unimog must be the most thief proof vehicle on the road.

[Adz The Rat]

My god, I want it!!

Is the little bulldozer attachment for pushing yourself out of the mud, or for actual bulldozing?

Neither, it is a retractable ground anchor for the rear winch. All the winching stresses are transferred directly into the ground, and not through the vehicle. It's also handy for changing a rear wheel!

That is some cool stuff ! Dammm ! brother ,what on earth will you follow that up with ?

You're quite right. There are several combinations of neutral you can leave it in, plus the lowest set of gears will hit a lofty 120 mph on the redline in true 1st gear. That's 120 metres per hour.....
