    Progress on My Unimog

    Just a quick update for those who have asked about my Unimog - just to re-cap - first photo is what it looked like when I got it and the second is what it looks liked this afternoon. A lot of work to go, but loads of fun

    Looking good. What did you end up doing with the picker etc. on the back?

    The first day I moved into the industrial unit it was sold to a guy who seems to collect all sorts of mechanical stuff - and he had his mechanic take it off the truck as well - it was a huge amount of progress on the first weekend - I thought I would be stuck with it for months. Sold it for $2K and I kept the main hydraulic pump as there was a guy in NZ who offered me $1K for it.

    Photo shows the what was left after the crane was removed.

    Saved me making the enquiry, the second picture looks like a model.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Army seem to be selling off Mog tyres by the truck load at the moment. Don't know if you happened to see the Fowles auction catalogue at Eagle Farm. Those tyres look alright though.

    No - didn't see them, i have 5 already, probably could have saved myself a bit of money, however I think the Army uses Michelin 12.00 or 12.5;s ( a 335/80-20), and I wanted the 14.5's for mine.

    Hmmmm.... I think I'll be watching with interest.

    What's the plan for the truck once finished?

    I've got plans for a Mog camper conversion.

    You have been busy! You must have a very understanding wife.....

    How do you manhandle those tyres around? You'd almost need a small winch/pulley system to change them.

    Thanks for the photos - very interesting.
