Like I said before, I am a big fan of the raising roof. Since I think I have decided to keep the 1300 (SBU DOKA prices are steep and the dollar is weak) I will build a truck using what I have. I do think that having a camper that is not really usable in the stowed position is a mistake. Wheather...

Yeah sure! You are among friends here. In order to be honest with others you have to be honest with yourself. Here is a link to test yourself http://www.safarigard.com/ Good luck to you, Blair

Damn, I thought we were talking about Unimogs! Next time I will attach the appropriate picture. Rob, you are on your own on this one. All I have are pictures of your Unimog.

Pretty cool website about a couples travel in Africa in a 110. Blair http://url.co.nz/african_trip/stories.php?story_id=1

Exciting Rob! Come North and do a shakedown. Owen and Ewan would have a great time. Got any more pictures? Blair

I think you are focusing on the 1% of the roads that the Unimog will beat all others. What you should be looking at is the ability of the Unimog to handle all other roads as well. My 1300 is pressed into more mundane chores every week. Lately it has been helping me move, carrying fence posts...

That was the trip. Nail is back and doing well. Rob's 416:

What Rob said. I am glad you can type fast....makes it much easier for me. One one other thing regarding mileage is that the 13 mpg that I get with the 1300 is on the freeway doing 60 mph. I have never calculated what the MPG would be at offroad speed. I would have to think it exceeds most...

Rob, Did you get the camper yet? Blair

Makes me want to pack! Jorge, Great pictures! Makes me miss Argentina more then before. When we were in BA last time I tried to meet with the Land Rover club. We were on a schedule to get to Concordia for a wedding and missed the opportunity to go with them to help work on a school. Feel free...

Lucky! Now you need to head up the coast for a test spin. First beers on me. Blair

They offered a factory mod of some sort. Personaly I would extend the bed a few feet and give the box a decent angle of departure. Unimogs are tall enough that it won't make any difference. Blair

If you are truely interested in a long wheel base I would buy a 1700 ir a 1550 l38 and be done with it. Anything else is a waste of time and money. I would never think about doing it to mine but i believe Unimog offered a factory approved kit to do it. Blair

I wouldn't get to excited until you actually get a Unimog. The L37 is an uncommon version of the 1300 and are rare. The longer wheelbase are also found in other model ranges as well. Blair

I guess the thing that took me by surprise (having never really read the thread until I was on hold waiting for window bids)) was the vehicle they chose and how much they are going to ask. Aside from those people who are so enchanted with the idea (and have 100k+ to spend)of a jeep being used in...

You know what they say about fools and their money. The sub 100k for a Jeep and a flip top camper? They must be using the Unicat business plan. Good luck to them. Blair

Hi, I have been following this thread since building a camper is something I wanted to do.Now that my family has increased (X2) the the 1300 is to small and needs to be sold. The other option is to extend the cab or build a box that accommodates seating for people on a permanent basis. Having...

The MAN does not have an exemption for that model range. The only one that shows up is the MAN KAT. To bad, because if they were available I would have a 4x4 DOKA parked in my driveway. Blair

Nice truck! The L37 are a hard one to find. Blair

I bought the video a few months ago. At the time all they had was PAL as they were working out some glitches with the ntsc version. My DVD plays all so I was able to get a copy early on. I have watched the progress of the video on the Series 1 list for quite some time. Well worth the purchase...
