As Tatra is from where this wehicle got some ideas

@@altergreenhorn I doubt that really. Unimog's performance is based on extremely flexible frame while Tatra trucks are just the opposite, even back in the days when those were the similar weight range as the Unimog (Tatra 805)

[@OFFTOUR]

@ Exactly, Tatra chasis is absolutely not flexing or stretching, thanks independent axles and central pipe

[@hartmutscheu6197]

And the Unimog comes from Germany and has been built by Mercedes since 1950. Greetings from Canada.

[@net-twin-de]

What many always forget to mention is that the Unimog can be used as an actual workshop at any time and anywhere. You can use all air pressure power tools (they are even cheaper to buy than the electricity-based ones). So you can restore your car in the middle of nowhere if you want and you don't run out of fuel :)

[@Alienking01]

The 1300/1700 is just the horsepower, the 1700 runs a turbo und intercooler setup. The 1300 L with the 3250mm wheelbase is by far the most common, because that is the one the german military uses. I live about 40km from where these where build and about 10km from where the current model is build. If you are in the area, you should check out the unimog museum in Gaggenau. But don´t expect much offroading in Germany, expect for designated offroad parks.

[@captainwin6333]

1300L 129HP, 1700L - 166HP.

[@unidanengineering]

Sort but this is incorrect. There’s a lot of differences between a U1300 and U1700

[@Alienking01]

@@unidanengineering Good to know, but are you talking 435 U1700 or 437 U1700?

[@gregsheridan]

A U1500 and U1700 are similar and older agricultural versions. The U1300L and U1700L are off road chassis. Also older but the U1300L is a 7.5T normally with 6 bolt axles and the U1700L is about 11t with 10 bolt axles. Sooooo many different versions. His engines basically changes his model to a U1550L37-240. The OM 366 LA is actually a 5.9L turbo intercooled engine which for fire service had up to 240hp and about 660lbft but tuning can get a bit more. First gear is 13:1 and low range is 5.76:1. Axle is probably 5.31:1 but could be 6.53 also.

[@philbox4566]

U 1700 is by far and away the most common in Oz cos the Oz Army is offloading nearly their entire fleet of some 1800 vehicles and there weren't many Mogs in Oz on the road before these auctions.

[@ewingfox6459]

Wow! What a truck. Yep, we can call it a truck, officially without concern. I used to build expensive toys for rich people - they would either never get used or they'd be abused. This is clearly different - a total passion project for sure, used and loved. I could always tell a lot about my customers based on how they cared for their stuff. All the comments about him being a spoiled rich kid - well, looks like he's a Hospitality exec - if you've ever managed anyone or anything - well, he's earned it. I'd love to have such a capable vehicle - my only fear is that the threshold for trouble is so high, once you are IN TROUBLE - you're doomed! A unimog is on my list - but a 78 series once we can get em here in the states will probably come first unless just the right one comes along :D Thanks for another great episode Ronny!

[@craigkirby9202]

On the upside, you can easily just tow another vehicle as a spare. Or a house, and just decide you want to live wherever you get into trouble. I used to live in New Guinea, and there's a story there of trying to connect two villages by road. The problem was that one of the villages was full of folks who had never seen a Jeep. Each village started cutting a track towards the other, with the distant one using only a description of a Jeep, and a description of the kind of track it used. The end result was a trail with each wheel line taking different paths. Sometimes one wheel track was twenty feet higher than the other. Sometimes a little further apart. Now the story goes that they solved the problem by just cutting two poles and carrying a Jeep to the next village to drive it around for a bit so everyone could see what they were dealing with. But I'm an Australian, and any story like that can be taken with a grain of salt but I always wonder why people don't consider pulling things apart and moving them in more manageable chunks when they become inconsolably stuck. But then, I'm an Australian, so that might be bullshit as well :)

Awesome Ronny, I drove these in the Army and we went everywhere, only the softest deepest mud gave reason to use the winch. Nothing ever broke, and the off road capabilities were great. Weak point always was the tyres.

That's why as soon as I got my Mog I changed out the tyres to Michelins with the Hutcheson run flats with bead locks. I am rather jealous of the CTIS and tractor tyres though. Best thing I ever did was add the low range box. 8 speeds below about second gear.

Great video Ronny its always good to give folks a peek at just what a Unimog is capable of! I have a German Military 1300L and I collect a restore M series US military trucks and we have gone on trail rides with other members of our club, lots of military Jeeps and other M series 6x6 trucks dueces etc. We were driving up this small mountain on a road that was still all there it had a couple very small holes in it but really nothing when we got to the top you would have thought we climbed Mt Everest lots of the guys with the American trucks were locked in 6 wheel drive and the jeeps were in low range 4x4 and they were hoping that we never went anything as rough as that was. One of the guys asked me what gear I ran my Unimog in through the "rough" stuff and I told him I stayed in 3rd gear and never even thought about using 4 wheel drive. One word of advice is that if YOU own a Unimog and you go 4 wheeling with other people (Unless there is another Mog there) you will be on your own in case you ever do get stuck, because there is not another vehicle that will ever get close to you!

[@bushandbeachaustralia]

Congratulations Matt. A superb effort and project. I see you and your Missus look to be sharing wonderful experiences together and I’m hopeful you bring some decent kids into the world because we sure need them right now. A question. I’m wondering if this is a lifelong type hobby like some or is it genuinely an insurance policy considering what appears to be an ever increasingly unpredictable and untenable world. Do you work in the typical daily grind or have you gone into your own business venture to afford what is a solid bit of kit amongst other things. Obviously generally speaking. I’m a little older but questions of adventure always arise when I see UNIMOGS. They are always associated with success in my mind and what part did the Unimog play in your own development. Well done for bringing us this fine chap and remarkably capable, any mission ready vehicle. Favourite video for quite some years.

A doomsday get away vehicle is about getting to a DESIGNATED spot, not roaming the earth for years on end....

I just want a television series where they bring these fully modified American trucks, especially this UNIMOG, and bring it to the toughest roads in the world, such as Africa or the Jungle of Asia. Those are the places that can really test these modified monsters to the limit. We have seen 4x4 cars done that. But, what happens if we brought in a fully modified trucks such as the UNIMOG? Can it survive the muddy terrain, the harshness of the jungle and the steep climb? That's what I wanted to know. If there is one television series dedicated to doing that, I bet the ratings will be on the roof.

I love it, it's perfect for my life💖 I started to weep a little when it got to the desalination system👍

[@mark2073]

I did a 2 week solo hiking trip in the desert of Mexico and relied on my desalinator. I had a pump system which is a pain. I also brought a distilling pot I made for the campfire. Both systems produced about 1/2 liter per hour, and required almost continuous attention. A bit of a pain in the ass but do-able.

I work at 450$/month and I can't even afford the iPad on the dash to watch this video with. You guys in the first world are lucky.

Hey Bud don't feel bad this is not the average American guy at all we paid taxes and our slaves and give away all our military equipment

[@Max-ye9xg]

Most Americans in California or ride a bicycle and most don't have $500 in the bank

[@AdventuringPals]

Pretty handy to have this thing as an apocalypse escape rig. So right about now lol. Awesome review on a very well awesome rig. Great job to the whole team.

[@shanebaker2195]

Beast of a truck. Thanks for the walk around.

[@bwarrior6340]

The difflock dial definitely confused them both there for an uncomfortable seconds or two😂. Great truck!

[@gerardvoughnfaust4167]

7 people actually can sleep there. The passage at the back sit can be a space for sleeping

[@jordsluke9136]

Hey Ronny, have been binge watching your channel as I'd like to tour Australia as apart of my bucket list. Thank you for all the help and info for the newbies out there like me. I purchased an Isuzu Dmax and would love to see one on your Modified Episodes. Once again thanks mate for making all this info free and available to anyone!

[@Ronny_Dahl]

No problem mate thanks for the feedback 👍

[@alex.toader]

Considering how much this cost, you could just rent a helicopter to get you there, and with the money left, you can ask them to build a small house on location. On each location :)

[@theokingshango]

You could BUY a helicopter too

[@freedomrider266]

In doomsday scenario, YOU will never have a helicopter to rent--the rich and powerful will see to that!

[@aecarter1341]

pretty sure if this guy wants a helicopter, he will buy one.

[@chandrqputra7393]

Unimog a German made truck is very powerful and suitable for rough roads. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@NISMO-OFFROAD]

enjoyed it ronny mate, really liked the live concept too, laughed my ass off, id really be interested, in you doing a live modified episode .

[@marcdenton2996]

Good Lord! What a technological monster! Give me a 2 horsepower 1876 Studebaker all wheel wagon with roof canvas top tent & awning outfitted with the proper storage. No Bluetooth, no computers, no radios. No noisy petroleum powered smoke belching tank. Just two horses & a modified Conestoga wagon. I’d be perfect happy.

The millionaires RV....when your family is rich.

[@TedKidd]

Even with money, that was a LOT of work!

[@albertdesalvo7273]

@blob blob Maybe because it's highly unusual for someone so young to own something so expensive that is generally used a plaything. I get your point, though...there are young and very successful people out there...just not that many.

[@Sethjxl]

@@TedKidd Almost all the work is done by UniDan in QLD. No cheap, but they know what they are doing. With that said, you can get a bare bone mog for around $20K thats onl done a few hundred Ks. So its a good project vehicle if you want to do it yourself...

[@TedKidd]

@@Sethjxl even just thinking about the DESIGN part of the work is exhausting...

[@Sethjxl]

@@TedKidd For sure, so much you can do with the platform. Have a quick look at www.unidan.com it's pretty impressive what they do with those trucks. I met the owner on Fraser Island at the start of the year, top bloke and he works on some huge trucks (8x8 oshkosh was there at the time).

[@akburwell]

Ronny... desalination, wow! 6k inverter, wow! Air columns, wow! Talk about a bugout rig! Well considered for sure... a midwestern guy living the AU dream it sounds?

[@CowboyRei]

So dude's a millionaire?

[@deejayemjay29]

I know if won the lotto i would be getting 2 of these hahaha. Definitely has a lot of money, i mean fuck he built a shed big enough to park it in with a 4m roller door.

[@Johanniscool]

Spent the whole video wondering what this guy does for a living 😂

[@slammerf16]

Well, he was...

[@checktheplaylist101]

right

[@peglor]

All we can be sure of is that he was a millionaire before he started that truck project...

[@zac8116]

Was in the army when we had these in service, obviously they were older and I can tell you one thing. There is not anywhere these bad boys will go!

[@barefootluxury]

Do you mean not anywhere they won't go?

[@kev8322]

Best off-road vehicle I have ever seen thought of everything

[@allgood6760]

Awesome.. I drove these with NZ Army... nice toy!... thanks from across the ditch👍🇳🇿
