This Mog is stored inside all of the time (except for the sneaky rain storm that hit as I was taking pictures ;-). I have owned it for almost four years now and have done Moab, Las Cruses and local trails many times, never with any mechanical difficulties. She is a very reliable turn-key rock crawler. This UNIMOG is iconic to anyone who has searched "UNIMOG" on YouTube. It was built by, well known and respected UNIMOG dealer, Rob Pickering.

This iconic, turn-key, crawler is being offered at $20,000

Um, don't you have this exact same post in the "for sale" section?

I don't see a problem with that. This is probably where mog-lovers hang out.

anytime he wants to post videos of crazy action....please do so. Will you be doing that same action in your "G" or your big DoKa? Come on,

Yeah, I do, for those folks who don't know of, or frequent the UNIMOG forum. Who knows, maybe some toyota dude is looking to move into a new hobby.

Hey Chas, Yeah the G did very well in Moab, no video though sorry. I did get the 1550 out last weekend for the first time in the woods. It did great, an absolute joy, but wow talk about bush whacking! I am all of a sudden thinking about a brush cage around the cab. Also I'm reconsidering how I will paint it in the future. Any normal paint job is going to be ruined after one trip in the woods. So I'm considering a heavy duty epoxy primer coat and then some military grade spray paint as a top coat. I have a friend that uses this method on his scorpion with good results, except it is flat and not glossy, but I think I will have to live with that. I've now put on about 500 miles over the last month, and all is well, knock on wood. Now time to get a dang bed put on it.
I hope all is well with you and yours.

I've had a few "creases" in my cab extensions from wheeling with jeeps and 406/416s. I'll be doing some type of brush stuff soon. I'm thinking hydraulic chain saws mounted on the each side of the roof.
