Had the Mog for a week now and just getting to know what's what. Have not found anything amiss other than the engine brake. It would not stop the motor and had to stall it to get the motor to shut down. Talked to a friend that has been driving all sorts of diesel trucks for years and he told me...

Seems like Mercedes did nothing but slap on higher rating when the truck was first registered. They will supply the necessary documentation to get it through the declassification process so I went and bought the Mog yesterday! Owner was considering trading the Mog for a Porche, but think he...

Charlie Thanks a lot for the answers. Won't be needing much more speed than 80 kph so not to worried about that one. i live in Norway and most of my adventures will be off highway stuff. As you indicate bigger tires and an overdrive could be an option in the future if needed. Will bigger tires...

Have been considering one of these for a couple of years and have finally found one locally that i can afford. The plan is to build a camper out of it... eventually.. What do all of you Unimog experts think, is this a good deal and is it a good platform for a camper? Its a 1983 1300L with fast...
