Why yes, yes I do. The post is a bit old but AFAIK it is still available. Sorry to hijack the post. The guy that has it is solid, I've done business with him, and well known in the Unimog world.

There is at least one more of these Netherlands Rail mogs in the US. The other one however is stock (minus the rail gear), it was still for sale last time I checked.
The frame is a 425.121 series I think, which makes it a bit shorter wheelbase than your average U1300L that we are used to seeing. (2810mm vs the 3250mm). It's confusing because both the 425.121 and...
Yeah, I noticed that right away. Had to post :-)
Pretty awesome beast's.

I know personally Simon looked at several candidates before settling on this unit, this is the cleanest of the clean, an excellent truck. Sorry to see you have to sell it, it will make an excellent...

My vote is Unimog, but not the U500 (size mostly), but the SBU series, which, were in fact sold new in the USofA at various times, both by Mercedes themselves, and by companies like Schmidt as...
I use Dynabeads. Friend of mine uses Equal (same rims and tires). His issue is, with the powder, moisture from condensation or filling the tires can make it clumpy, not a big deal, until it freezes,...
Well the mechanical inspection went well, to be expected with only 41,000km's on the clock :)
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances NorthernMexican can't buy the truck, so its still for...
Going to follow Roberts footsteps, and do CTIS while your at it? Seems like now's the time ;)

The nice thing about the beads vs weights, are the beads are a dynamic balance, thus, they are able to rebalance when you start moving, so if you have ice in your rim (very common for me, often grill...
Hasn't went yet :)
My Dynabeads work great. I'd recommend them for sure. I've had them in three trucks, all good results.
When possible, both. :) (stock image, not mine)

For the deep snow and mud that I get into, ground clearance is needed. But when in the offroad park, articulation to keep all 4 tires...
Accordion boot.
Sounds like a good plan, sorry, forgot to get back to this once I was at a PC, asking price now put back in.
Oh really? Sorry, the local 4x4 forum I'm a member of its a rule that once a sale is made (or deal pending in this case) you remove the price as a courtesy to the new owner. I always thought it was...
Because this is a lifting winch, utilized in the recovery mode, it is rated to lift the load, hold the load in the air (also known as "brake" the load), and lower the loaded weight. And being...

I'll post most info later today.
Well it was nice to meet NorthernMexican on Saturday and chat up about Unimogs. Hopefully, we have deal pending. We even got to do two recoveries on Saturday so a proper winching demonstration was...
Geez, who let the tool bag out?
The U1300L is really easy to service. If you have the repair manuals, (mine comes with them) they detail all the rebuild/refurbish of each and every part. It's really designed to be serviced. Unlike...
This is an example, of the box that is on the back of my truck, but converted to a camper shell:

Again, that's not my truck, but one exactly like it, converted, mine is not a camper,...
