I know my mother said "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it"
But...
He replaced the OM366LA MB diesel with a gas V8
He replaced the unique to Unimog 8 spd trans/transfer case with a 4 spd GM automatic more suitable to a light(er) SUV and and chain drive transfer case (no wonder it broke)
He says he's not a gearhead. At least he admits it.
AFAIK the thing has never been more than 150 miles away from the factory, the Museum of Modern Art in NY or Southern California.

Yeah, the MaxiMog is basically a castrated Unimog (there I said it). Everything that makes a Unimog, well a Mog has been removed.It is no better than a badly maintained chevy truck at best (no disrespect to poorly maintained chevy trucks:ylsmoke:)).
The idea of a van body Mog is pretty good but this is an example of money terribly misspent.:coffee:

LOL You got a point and made my laugh! Totally agree with you and much more but I don't want to risk being contacted by some people of U :elkgrin:

Anyhow, working on that truck was still fascinating! Soooo much "cr..aehm stuff" fitted into one place was unreal.
