Dakar Rally Unimog - King Tony Tool Factory - Taiwan (Ep158)

Join us this week as we go for a ride in our mates Dakar Rally competition Mercedes Unimog. Arthur used this Unimog to compete in multiple Dakar Rallies in Africa and South America.
Tools tools and more tools! We visit King Tony Tools for a factory tour. This was like a dream come true for Leigh who has spent his entire working life on the tools.
If you have ever wondered how those ratchets look on the inside then this is for you.
We also take a hike to the mountains above Taichung and give you a first glimpse of the beautiful natural beauty in Taiwan.
Many people might think that this tiny country is just big cities and industry. To be honest we also thought this might be the case, how wrong we were.
Taiwan is home to hundreds of mountains including the highest mountain in eastern Asia. Taiwan also has the highest concentration of mountains compared to surface area of any country in the world.
If you enjoy our videos and if you would like to support our work, we have a PATREON account.
Become a PATRON and be part of the adventure.
Thank you very much.

Ok This is one of my favourite videos of your channel! What a nice people so friendly ❤️ And super awesome vehicles!! That Unimog is insane! So cool they gave you all the vehicles to use and nice place to stay. And I love tools! That toolbook is almost bigger than the Hazet catalog! 😃 If I will see king tony tools I will give it a look and will try and feel if it is something I would use. 😃

[@ArmyTruckTom]

That mog is a bit newer than ours, .... and goes a little bit faster XD

Been a mechanic 17 years now and still have my original king tony spanners from my first week as an apprentice. Great quality tooling!!

[@raymondallo9947]

That was an amazing gift from King Tony. Treasure it. In Australia that box would be close to $500. People are so amazing in Taiwan. What warmth and generosity.

[@grahameroberts8109]

Another wonderful country and people. 👍🏻😷😷🙏🏽🙏🏽🦘🦘

[@scumpert]

It looks to be an amazing country! On my bucket list now! And you're so lucky to meet Arthur and go round the King Tony factory!

Love it! You two are getting so spoiled!

[@jdenmark1287]

I bet Mr. Arthur is missing having you guys around. Tool place was pretty cool. Arthurs vehicles got a little extra love and driving while you were there. Stay safe and be healthy.

[@MrMeriloto]

Yeap, I'd have gone bananas in that tool room, amaaaaaaaaazing display. And the Unimog is awesome but I'd feel cheated if only allowed to city drive with that beast!!! Very nive video, as always!!

Actually There has NEVER been LOCKDOWN in Taiwan, only 9 deads.
