    Default unimog in action

    here is a vid i found of a unimog gettin a work out from an Australian web site (that's where I found it at least).

    don't know if this thing is modified at all or a standard mog. nevertheless, pretty impressive.

    Yeah, great video. Saw it a few years ago and it's still quite amazing how flexy those monsters are.

    I've seen a few other videos of Tysons Mog. One of them, he drives through a lake that is pretty damn deep. He takes that thing through some crazy stuff. That clip was from Moab.

    Tyson's mog isnt stock. He had TJ lift coils, steering from a Ford Van if i remember right and larger than stock tires. I've got several videos I saved awhile back...if anyone wants to host them or post I can email them to you. I've got the lake one and some on helldorado, probably more. The lake video is wild, as are a couple of him just walking over rocks 4+ feet tall.

    There are two other Unimog vids on www.putfile.com. There are three in total including the one that was posted above. I can't get the other tow to play but not sure.

    Other vids will play including this very funny vid of an H2 offroad

    Wow that H2 video is crazy , Id bet if he stayed on the same line instead of turning to the passenger side he would have been fine..except he wouldnt have nearly enough breakover angle to get up that ledge probably?

    good video...looks like he escaped sheet metal scars.

    Those things are sick. I friend of mine has one. It is a little under powered for mud but that thing crawl like nothing else. He actually filped his this year. it was scary because it was a soft top and he had no rool bar. Fortunetly for them his wife jammed her finger real bad but that was the only injury. I can see one of those in my future LOL!

    I've been looking at Mogs lately...although I probably wouldn't be interested in doing that near vertical like the dude in the pic...plus I want a mog with an expedition camper on it...funky pic though

    Expedition Imports will have a Unimog 1300 expedition camper for sale in April...asking price is $100K...here's the link (I hope)

    http://www.expedition-imports.com/u1...ion_camper.htm

    On the other hand, I just checked into shipping my rig to Europe...got a quote of $2700 to Barcelona (plus some fees on the other end which I haven't checked)...I could take that same $100K and travel for 3-4 years or considerably longer if I got really frugal!!!! Now that is enticing
