Thabo and the Unimog
Австралия
Добавлен 10 дек 2018
I got retrenched from my job and instead of using the money to live frugally, I blew it all on a Unimog offroad vehicle that I will turn into a Global expedition vehicle. This is about life, a truck and adventure.

Why would a Unimog get stuck in the sand? Driving in the mountains and on the beach.

We thought we'll do a quick drive in our Unimogs, unfortunately, it went a little pear-shaped.
Can a Unimog take on 5 Ways?

5 Ways is a 4X4 playground to test your vehicle's ability to not roll down a very steep hill.
This is a very good way of putting a tiny house on a truck.

UNIMOG, how to change all the oils
Просмотров 18 тыс.3 года назад
I get someone else to change the oils on my Unimog. To find the right oils for your Unimog, go to rego2oil.castrol.com/en_au/australia/vehicle/12_Farm_Tractors_Machinery/993_MERCEDES_BENZ_Unimog_Models_/8836_U1300_U1700 @CastrolracingAU #TEAMCASTROL For filters and spares go to Mog Central mogcentral.com.au/store/ These are items I use with my Unimog.

YEAP Great Stuff. Mogs in their Area. Dreams. We will Follow. Silke❤Jo
YEAP Great Stuff. Nice VIDs. RnR Silke❤Jo
Thanks👍
Great video
Memories of the Unimogs in Germany in the late 1960s. The farmers there loved them because they were able to take a plough for tilling the fields. One vehicle to substitute for a car + a truck + a tractor. I don't know if the newer models were still able to take the plough attachment.
I have been Off-roading for a number of years. I would argue that front lockers help more than rear lockers in 90% of situations.
Are you guys unfamiliar with momentum? Traction only cannot help you claimb, you need momentum.
Needs to change the name to "Unimog Hill"
Such a great video, thanks for posting it.
The best approach for winching double line pull saves winch and batt. As for starting ether (starting fluid).
What winch are you running?
Add a battery powered tyre inflator to your kit.
Mog with no sweat. I feel guilty just thinking about it.
Mogs always win
Wow those Mogs are just unstoppable. they make rally bad bogholes look easy.
the video is good, but I would like less music, it’s better to listen to the real sound of the engine
AWESOME TEAMWORK
I need a unimog. Mission for 2024.
From memory you can bash the back brakes off with a hammer in emergencies. You just bash the arm with a hammer and it releases provided you dont mind having no brakes at all. If you are planning on traveling with other MOGs id be carrying a 20m air hose and some fittings so you can piggyback truck together if needed.
All fuel systems must be purged of air......even the drill-driven pump. Impeller can't move fuel in the tubing by rotating in air...it needs to move fluids. Please forget about the music in your videos...bad news. Very annoying, especially when you are talking about your adventures and problems. Have fun !!!
Good content. Thank you for bringing these issues to the fourfront and making me think. I just watched "Chasing the Dogs" video of the same event. You can fill the air tank externally to release the brakes (from portable electric pump or form another truck (Mog etc). Anyway, that's an interesting situation that I had not considered with a unimog. Air Actuated brakes over hydraulic, and Fuel supply on extreme angles with less that full fuel tank(s). Possible solution. Have have a second fuel tank and I'm thinking look at a pickup at the front left on one tank and at the rear right of the second one. Then consider that if tanks are low and you wind up in that situation again, switch to the appropriate fuel tank. Also try not to use the winch on low battery, its really hard on electric motors to run them hard at low voltage. They can (seamingly paradoxically) burn out very easy due to low voltage... been there done that!
All of that logging is plantation likely planted in the 1970s.
next time fill up the tank didnt relise they starve for fuel electric fuel pump needed ?
Another great video Thabo.
What good fun and learning. Only thing I could think of trying would be to, if possible, disconnect the fuel line at the tank and put the line directly into a Jerry can. Maybe you could strap the can to the passenger steps. Also, does the truck normally lose air pressure that quickly when turned off?
They're not supposed to lose air that quickly but they're around 30 years old, air pipes going everywhere, and it's tough to trace all the air leakage. The fuel suggestion, if we did not have other mogs for a pull, is definitely the solution.
@@ThaboNelmeanshappiness No judgement here, just curious - agreed, finding leaks is not easy.
Release the brakes by pumping air into the tanks via the gladhands. Either with your truck or with an aircompressor
We were thinking of that but then managed to release the brakes by knocking pins out with a hammer.
What exactly went wrong with it? I assume empty tank and it sloshed away from the pickup? Then why couldn't they start it when topped up?
Tank had 3/4 full of fuel, the incline is a lot steeper than the video shows , I would guess that my prepump is worn and not pumping properly , just don't notice on lesser inclines
So did you manage to eventually unlock the rear brakes, or did you skull-drag it up with them still locked on? I've read that they can be prised off in an emergency, but haven't seen it done
We discovered that pins can be knocked out with a hammer to release the rear brakes.
Please add comments, it helps with the algorithm.
I have a u5000 that i got in non running condition, your vids are inspiring me to try rebuild it. Your stuck friend said it, great content!
Everyone needs a hobby !!!
This might just be a little bit more than a hobby.
hahaha Unimog for life@@ThaboNelmeanshappiness
What tyre pressures to do you on sand? Thanks
I went down to 35psi.
Unimogs are very capable...some drivers are still learning.........Drivers/Drovers? ever hear that saying? Drivers have some proper tyres on their Unimogs.......Drovers are probably wearing pink frilly panties..🤣
Cool video!
Crazy buggers! 👍👍
What size Dyneema is that, maybe 14mm ?
11mm.
To trigger the red lights. Throw some rare earth magnets under the front bumper.
I did, unfortunately, they turned into blobs of rust.
Awesome work
Not even a wheel lift from the mogs.
Lol Mogs making it look to easy and then the normal 4x4s show you how impassable that terrain really is...
Eish that frame looks lekker bent already and it isn't even finished!
That looked like a lot of fun
Is it worth buying a Unimog?
Depends, I got lucky and bought a near-perfect machine, my mate Shane's mog has problems but he is fixing it, you need to be good with your hands and have the time to work on it. My main problem now is the price of diesel, there is no way I am doing a 6-week trip, that's thousands of dollars just on fuel.
Ford U.S. must not have any idea how big the 4x4 culture is here in Australia either. Otherwise they would import the new Bronco. Clueless company. 😂
Was there a BBQ on on of the single cab unimog? :)
Yeah, Department of Transport approved BBQ!
The Unimog at 3:00 got through the waterhole without any problems, the second one gave full throttle and got stuck.
I didnt know unimogs were as tempermental in deep mud. The first one seemed to always get thru tho. Maybe it had better tires.
The second Unimog gave full throttle and got stuck, maybe this could be te problem.
It's all about the tyres.
I love your vdo a lot mate
