Congrats on the 100k!

[@clooperman3745]

Loved the scenery, loved the vehicles, given the choice of owning either the Volvo would be my choice due to no electronics but the Jeep is obviously the better vehicle for day to day use and probably way more comfortable.

[@medusajeep2130]

It's not often a jeep driver gets to call another vehical "a square box" :D

If it was meant to go fast, out wouldn't be shaped like a brick on wheels. 🤣🤣🤣 I love passing bricks on the highway 🤠

Very cool rig. Probably one of the coolest rigs you've had join you.

[@jnilsson9117]

This video brings back some great memories. I drove the 6-wheel version of this when i served in the Swedish military ~20 years ago. Awesome off-road but as you can imagine, absolutely terrible whenever we had to move longer distances on road.

[@dirtymike1589]

Same here, 11 and 13 Volvo did i have some fun with and 30 and 40 Scania. Later i drove Galt my last years in the swedish army.

[@per6605]

Same here, TGB11 Especially remember how we once were taken into the forest, and the lieutenant showed us the map and told us: - You should drive from here to *that position* (pointing on the map) - But there's no road! - Yeah. Here's an axe.

[@jnilsson9117]

Härligt! And I don’t think I ever saw a sharp axe in one of those trucks.. Lol.. I have since replaced the mud of Tofta Artillery range and instead have the backroads where this is filmed in my backyard

[@per6605]

@@paveway4404 Driven both the TGB11 and the TGB13 in the military and I have to say that the 11 is better offroad as if feels more nimble but both are awsome in the terrain.

[@nissebopp]

In the Swedish army they are known as TGB 11 for the 4x4 and TGB 13 for the 6x6. Then there is the TGB 20 6x6 troop carrier plus many other variants. TBG stand for terrängbil / terrain vehicle.

[@bladenrexroth2555]

Volvo comes with portals, air lockers, locking transfercase, 2 speed transmission, 37's and some other goodies for the imported price of $15k-20k

[@bladenrexroth2555]

@@nissebopp I'd love to find a decent condition C304/TGB13 6x6 for that price. I'd rather import than pay the asking price of some of these rigs that are already stateside.

Just loving your videos!! And to see a C303 was a bit of a surprise:) these cars are getting rare even here in Sweden. So i am glad that I got one in the garage😍. Unfortunately the law prohibit all off-road driving here in Sweden if it is not on a closed off off-road area🙁 I would love to drive trails like yours, but that will never happen here in Sweden. Keep up the superb work whit your movies👍

I was passenger in one of those Volvos when I was in the military. To me it felt like it was going to tip over at any moment, but it never did. I drove a Bandvagn BV-202 myself. That thing are amazing too, I was never stuck anywhere with it. Put on a small exhaustbend, and you can drive it across the lake. Yea it floats.

I was in the swedish military back in 2004 and we had one just like that and an off-road truck. Most pain I've ever felt in my ass is from that volvo, spent about 6 hours in that thing with full battle gear, had a bunch of anti tank rounds in my lap, cold and wet but it was amazing how agile it was, crawled over and through everything. The smell of a cold diesel ♥️♥️

[@77patte]

We had the 6-wheeled version of thoose when I did my military service loooong ago. One day we went off the road at high speed, hit the outside of the ditch and rolled sideways into a stand of pines. We were going back to base after a couple of days out in the snow so we had stuffed everything in there including the 20 liter insulated containers that containd the leftovers of the last meal we ate before heading home. I had stewed raindeer meat inside my helmet that was still on my head when we crawled out of the wreck.

[@vingtsun1952]

More like a Pinzgauer - nothing like a unimog!

[@evoemperor3776]

Yes they do look alike but what he meant is in suspension design which is similar to unimog solid axles with portals. Pinzgauer also has portals but it is fully independent suspension kinda like ford's twin traction beam axle.

Volvos, Unimogs and Pinzgauers are AMAZING, though not very well known in N.America... I spent all my childhood steppin in and out of them in Patagonia (we also owned Land Rover, Bronco and Jeep, which I also loved) this C303 is one of my favorites (4x4 or 6x6), since you can transform them into an interesting camping-van, a Pinzgauer 6x6 hardtop is also a great option. Otherwise I would love to have back my jeep from 1953, it had so much character!

I foolishly passed up an opportunity to buy one of those Volvo 303s about 10 years ago on a military auction. They use mostly domestic Volvo parts for the motor and transmission is what I understand. First time I saw one was parked outside the bar in Coldfoot Alaska, a miner owned it and used it to bring his boys in for a drink.

[@clintonbogart9055]

That C303 was the military version. I had the version they made for the electric company to run power line roads. Exactly the same except for the rear interior lay out. It has a divided lockable storage bin on each side that run the length . Much better layout for exploring. Everything is easily removable, doors, back door, windshield (it's also flip down), the roof and even the aft part of the body. They are super easy and fun to drive. They turn really well and the portal axles are fantastic. The drive train is all pneumatic push button (toggle). Everything locks and 4L 1 is 3mph at red line. They aren't nearly tippy as it looks. All the weight is at the bottom. They are SLOW. Top speed on the highway is about 75mph. You can get them cheap in Sweden . I never should have sold mine. :(
