    That is really intense driving skill. The truck is designed for a military purpose and kudos to the driver again.

    Seeing the Unimog in its natural environment is fantastic. What a machine. By far the best Unimog content on RUclips, there is nothing better. Thanks for the footage.

    That river run sealed the deal for me. I'm definitely building my rig on a MOG platform. The axel articulation blew my mind.

      Have you considered a a Pinzgauer.
      Awesome off road, more interior room than a regular 4x4 but can fit on most 4x4 tracks cos it's not as thicc?.
      Either way, best of luck with your projec 👍

    awesome lines guys!! ...you definitely should progress into spotting those very difficult lines though (to keep your hearts in your chests) and put the camera on a tripod. As in all things practice practice practice will make you unstoppable. Congratulations to you both!

    @seanchristie7150 2 года назад +1

    Awesome video as usual, a bit of a bugger about the lost audio, at least you didn't lose the footage totally. Having the right line is key, also having both the confidence in your vehicle and your own ability helps massively, both of which will come with more technical driving

    Looks easy & the camera or video never shows how step it really is.
    Plus all the time setting up the shots & making it into one movie.
    Great work the Mog went great I had a moment like everyone else did slow & steady is the way.
    Great set up same as any American trucks trying to do this there going to do a bit of damage.
    All in all it was fantastic to watch nice to sit back & enjoy you adventures safe travels Cheers

  • @Werkar27

    That was some nice driving mate, especially when you did recover the mog. I'd suggest a cam on the front bumper that allows you to see underneath as the mog is notoriously difficult to drive.

    @mikezog1030 2 года назад +1

    What's really apparent is that Chris needs to be spotted and Ange is going to have to step up. I was sitting here going "go right!! go right!!" There were a few times where Chris was on a bad line. he must choose the line that keeps both front wheels at the same height. It s the front with the engine that has priority.

    • @kusanagi72

    Peut être que la goulotte du réservoir a été tordue par les balancements de la cellule lors des énormes croisements de ponts ?
    Si Chris n'arborait pas cette ridicule moustache , son sang froid au volant mériterait une bise .
    Du coup , c'est à toi , Ange , que j'en fais une !!

    @andrefischer5025 2 года назад +1

    In regards to the diff locks, yeah the steering is not as good as without. But I still choose to engage the diff locks and surprisingly enough I did not have to turn them off because I couldn’t make a turn (yet). You feel pretty early if it’s enough steering or not, enough time to turn them off if need be.
    Keep in mind the turning circle of a locked Unimog is still less than the turning circle of an unlocked 79 series

    • @kusanagi72
      @kusanagi72 2 года назад +1

      This,, was scrolling through the comments to see if someone would make the comment on the diff locks. Good on you guys for taking on this track. But please for your own safety and the safety of others: Use the diff locks. They are there for a reason. The steering is slightly worse, but you were going up in a straight line anyway, so no reason not to have them in. Traction and control is everything. You see how quick things can turn sour if you break traction. Most roll overs happen through losing traction, you roll backwards, steering is on an angle or you hit a hole and brake, and there you go, belly up. It is easy to switch them off for a 90 degree turn, but all other small steering adjustments, you can just leave them on, Enjoy the rest of your trip! A fellow Mog owner.

    I wonder if you could fit protective bar work or light steel plate over certain areas like your diesel heater? I guess it's a balancing act, weight vs protection. 🤔. You've got some guts taking that on your own through those places, I have to say! 👍🇦🇺

    I'm watching you come outa the pascoe and I'm saying stay left stay left lol.
    I seen so many people try and get up on that flat to the right and nearly roll, when the line straight ahead is basically a flat run thru down and up.

    Very nice video, it is so with the UNIOMOG, or even the GAS 66, you come through normally everywhere. If the Unimog still has the 3.0 or 5.6 liter engine, an unbeatable and safe vehicle, whether on the road, or in the bush. Not a racing car, but reliable if you take care of it.
    Beautiful days and good trip. Greetings from Frankfurt
