      Even if a meteorite fell on it, just lock the diffs, low range, let it crawl from underneath it. But you know make sure the voltage is enough before. Just in case you know

    The first time I saw a Unimog in the US was at an RV campsite near Lake Tahoe. It was a full on mobile home, really impressive. I wish someone had been there (they must’ve been hiking) because I wanted to see the interior. I don’t think I’d want to drive something that large and wide on the secondary and rural back roads we have here in Connecticut.

    Definitely a save choice to put tension on a massive steal beam by pulling it in your direction, without knowing when the shed lets go and all the tension might be released all of a sudden.
    No way this is flying in your direction then.
    Everything fine as long as nothing happened in the end, i guess :D

    Why is this unimog with a missing/broken badge on the steering wheel seem like the only unimog in the us lol?

    • @Unimog1600
      @Unimog1600 2 года назад +2

      Looking at the fuel tank, this Unimog probably was one of the Freightliner Unimog, how they were sold directly in America, and not an actual Mercedes-branded imported one. Probably the Freightliner badge wasn't looking as cool as a Mercedes one and, as there are no other Mercedes trucks in the US which use the same steering wheel badge, it would probably cost a bit more than just five dollars to import a proper one.
      So there is nothing more reasonable to do than just leaving it missing. :P
