I think this is the best Unimog overlanding truck in the world, but I am a bit biased.

[@dylanweston8432]

My husband and his pal Abe were duly impressed. Both being engineers were in awe of the work done, its quality and the dedication needed to achieve your goals. They are envious and also ashamed that their own car rebuilds are taking so long and not nearly as complex. A great video and interestingly narrated as well. You two are so admirable. I have always followed you on FaceBook and been absolutely in awe of this project but never fully understood exactly how much work it had entailed. You two are truly marvels.

[@UnimogAdventures]

Thanks, we really appreciate your comments.

[@myticas]

It's a dream - the truck, your knowhow, and, last but not least, you both as a couple. I would sign a paper confirming this vehicle as the best Unimog in the world. Best of all - it's not too big! All the best from MM RickThe Mysticat

You also asked about coffee machines, we recently moved to a Belman stove top expresso and cappuccino machine. Only needs a heat source and removes the need for electricity. Worth a look if you like flat white coffee.

[@UnimogAdventures]

Thanks, we will have a look at it. The diesel stove takes a while to heat up, and stays hot for a while after switching it off, we would prefer something electric, as we have a 240V inverter, but can only use about 1500W continuously, and about 4000W for five min. Looks good for out outside stove, as gas heats up quick.

AND travel to some beautiful places….. That’s just plain greedy….. Seriously, fantastic work and I’m envious of your abilities. I’d handle the engine and portals ok but not the rest of it.

[@wildmongols]

Love your truck! I'm a yank from Wyoming. I met a fellow in the early 80s who was here shearing sheep. I gave him my spare bedroom, as he was sleeping in his car. In 2016, he called me up and said he'd just bought a station out on the Darling river, and would I like to come over and help move things out there? Keep in mind, I hadn't heard from him in 35 years, or more. I said of course. When I got off the plane in Sydney, I finaly vaugly remembered who he was. He is a wool broker, and very succesful. Their home place is between Dubbo and Orange, and he also has a station at Brewarnia. He put me in a 24 ft flatbed truck, and after a trip to the station at Tilpa, I started on my own. I had NEVER been through a roundabout, and I'm driving on the wrong side of the road, going through Dubbo, Nygan, Cobar, and 70 miles later, turn onto a dirt road for another 30 miles. We had a stock crate we could put on as well, so I was either hauling cows or sheep, or supplies to Tilpa or Bre. Watching your videos has really made me want to go back. I was there for 6 months, minus the 2 weeks I spent in NZ. I'm hoping to go back over a year from now, buy a Ute, outfit it with spare petrol tanks and some way to carry water, throw my swag and whatnot on, and travel. Keep doing those great video's, I'll keep watching. If you go to KZbin, punch in Downunder, and my name. I'm a songwriter and singer, and wrote it when I was there last. Cheer'r mate, and hope to see you on the road! Hub Whitt
