Military tow rig! I would love to see you build a trailer to haul and tow rigs! Also giving it sort or a rig rescue theme, work lights, winches.. the works
I wish I had found this video 2 weeks ago! I’m working on a similar build. Ford F100 cab and Umg10 4x4 bed section. Had to stretch the frame 2.5 inches. I combined 2 scx10 chassis sectioned and bolted together. Waiting on a leaf spring kit to arrive as well. Not going for a super capable crawler. More like a realistically modified truck. Going with a lawn care service truck theme.
Considering the Unimog is a basically a street legal tractor, highway maintenance or forestry are things they are used for. Could just paint it red and say it used to be a fire truck for that matter. My 1/6 scale is a 19" wheelbase and without steps, fuel tank and air tanks on it, it crawls surprisingly well.
Matt green with white signage, and it should be driven by a local tree surgeon with the cab sign written. Oh and don’t forget the chainsaws, ropes etc in the bed. 👍 Looking forward to seeing this progress and come together. 😁
I had been thinking about doing this same style build. Lost momentum when I couldn’t figure what the wheel base would be. Will be following this one for sure!
I love this idea! This thing's going to be awesome. I own the UMG 10 and I love it so much I must have over $600 into it but, I look forward to seeing yours completed. I recommend going with the c chand/rc4wd front Grill and painted body color because it just looks so incredibly good,. Along with all the C Chand accessories made for umg10. I made mine look as a CASE MB4/94. UNIMOG
I just got a Redcat gen 8 pack axe edition, so it has all the upgrades that the original one didn’t have. Can’t wait till it’s delivered, hopefully it’s here by this coming Tuesday.
how about an off road "Safety/Extraction" Light duty tow truck. Lights, front and rear winches, tool boxes, and maybe a welder. Bed, fender flares. and belly band of the rig in flat black (Rhinolined), and the rest of the truck in winter camo. If you look at the lines of the rollcage and spin that shape around....Well at least I can see a tow boom. Maybe dually for tow stability.
Paint it silver on the inside, and tan or olive drab on the outside so that it'd be a matte military color and any scratches will look like metal is showing.
ROCKIN THE MOUSTACHE (tell me you're not excited about the new Pro-Line VAN!!) 😜😁😁 GREAT idea Josh! That's really different and Cool. Absolutely a reason to add Portals! I'm feeling Desert Camo. Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Hey! I just finished the same project but I built my own truck box and interior for the 4 door uni cab, it's a sweet rig and that's sweet your doing one too
that thing is gonna be sweet brotha, what about maybe a military red cross-ish kinda theme, you know maybe like a white with the red cross detail and weather it so it looks dirty.
Tow truck with the boom sticking up out of the bed. Run a winch to run the tow truck winch. Make a rear bumper that looks like the part of the tow truck that lifts the front wheels of a car. Paint it orange with a Harley designs towing company logo on the doors.
Actually, that crew cab would of worked well with the Proline Utility bed they used to make. If you could of used that, I'd say do a brush fire fighting truck
So I was custom making a scx10 w/ capra axles. Then I got the strc lift kit. Well lets just say I got extra capra axles 🤣 I added 120mm shocks and BTK axial tires!
Exciting !! .. Watch a few K4 Videos . Looking at a few 1:1s I bet you'll find a couple good ideas and a clear thought for a paint scheme . A particular choice but it's gonna be cool rig ! I like a good Unimog !lol 😎 👍
That’s a big a*s truck I’m excited 😊 for the theme maybe you should do some kind of search and rescue or even a fire truck 🚒 but not the type you see in town this would be one that you see out in the counties that deal with blaze ups and small brush fires 🔥 my father was on a fire dept in a small county in TN and you needed a 4x4 just to get down the logging roads so what they did was take an 85 Dodge Ram 4x4 and throw 300 gallon tank in the bed instead of taking their 35,000 lb fire truck they took that for field fires and woods fire
What about a digital camo spray job with dual rear wheels and have it as tow rig or like an outpost zombie apocalypse ready vehicle for that just incase situation lol.
I want to do this , but with a TRX4 , Wondering will the Axial Hinge system fit the Traxxas with some modification ?, I'd still like to keep the 12.3 wheelbase ..any suggestions ? great video Harley :)
I'd go far left field and go with a WWII P-51, silver with exposed rivets and a tiger shark mouth going down the side of the cab, it would be completely different than anything else anyone else has, lol
Being that you’re using military wheels & tires, winter camo 👍
Military tow rig! I would love to see you build a trailer to haul and tow rigs! Also giving it sort or a rig rescue theme, work lights, winches.. the works
I second that. Only theme this rig would fit 👍
Cool idea.
3 suggestions:
-Paint: mat olive green with orange detail accents (forestry maybe)
- Dually!
- lots of lights
Wildfire rescue and I like your idea of Forestry too. the live stream trio last night was entertaining 👍🏻👍🏻
Search and rescue truck or wildland fire truck! All heroes in my book
Yes. Winter camo with portals.

YES! A DOKA BUILD!!!
I've been wanting to build one of these
Loving the LWB UMG, just finished a UMG10 with a Kenyan Safari theme and zebra stripe paint scheme.
I'd think its a perfect build for portals!
Great job!
Can’ t live without my 3-2-1 blocks😎

It’s a lot of real estate but those black wheels with a dull red and flat black details and a good sticker job really keep it clean but not to Sammy
I had been thinking about doing this same style build. Lost momentum when I couldn’t figure what the wheel base would be. Will be following this one for sure!
I say go with a Dakar theme. Bold colors with some type of sponsor logos. Also needs a "Rod knock" for that super scale sound
You could always slide the bed back to the back of the frame and then in the gap between the cab and bed you could make a spare tire mount
This thing is going to look killer ! I'm very excited to see how it comes together.
Theme could be a mobile men’s grooming service. Name it “Mustache Rides” 🤣
Military paint scheme because of your wheel and tire choice. Olive drab or a winter camo would suit that body nicely.

Really liking this build. I like the longer wheel base
I am already hooked.... this us going to be rad
Can't wait to see it complete Mr. Harley
Super stoked to see the end result of this🙋🏼♂️
Awesome project idea! Can't wait for the next video! Love the wheels btw.

Ice Road trucker’s comes to mind so it’s like a big rig tow truck
You need the Ultra Portal on it.
Which brings up the question...when will those axles become available separately?
I've been waiting.
Paint it silver on the inside, and tan or olive drab on the outside so that it'd be a matte military color and any scratches will look like metal is showing.
Needs VP portals
Sweet build
I have a umg10 with a cage, it's ridiculously heavy but I love it!
ROCKIN THE MOUSTACHE (tell me you're not excited about the new Pro-Line VAN!!) 😜😁😁
GREAT idea Josh! That's really different and Cool. Absolutely a reason to add Portals!
I'm feeling Desert Camo.
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Cant wait to see how you build yours!
Tuk Tuk hauler. Done!
Urban camoflauge would look the dogs 👍

Very cool. Can’t wait to see the results. How about a worn out colour with just a touch of rust ?
I love the idea. What about US Coast Guard style. Certainly have an orange stripe in there.
Love this build, a LWB Mercedes unimog,. How about the anniversary color Silver Arrow?
Greenpeace freedom vehicle paint job. I think it's what would fit
You should make an extended van body with the Proline van and it could be the Ron Burgundy Pleasure Palace...
Helicopter recovery, complete with land anchor.
Winter camo Tiger Recovery UMG.
Fire department brush truck would be cool.
G.I. Joe ‘Tiger Force’ paint scheme, just cause you look so 80s in this video. 💯👍🏼 ......... Because knowing is half the battle.
Trail maintence and rescue vehical. Could do a safty orange color.
Camo would be good, with a canvas cover over the back of the rig?
Haha, I was thinking about doing something similar but as a off road tow truck.
Rescue and recovery rig
Tow truck with the boom sticking up out of the bed. Run a winch to run the tow truck winch. Make a rear bumper that looks like the part of the tow truck that lifts the front wheels of a car. Paint it orange with a Harley designs towing company logo on the doors.
Dakar rally theme 🤙

Winter camo!!
Blue, gray and orange digi camo paint
I knew you liked the panzers on my umg10 I sent you lol 😂
Not really a fan of the umg/umg 6x6, but this I could see myself building.
Nive. Make it a apocaliptic genre. Withrust on it. I think it will suit it well!
You should get portal axles too for this to be a legit unimog
Oscar Myer theme “it’s a long one”
Exciting !! .. Watch a few K4 Videos . Looking at a few 1:1s I bet you'll find a couple good ideas and a clear thought for a paint scheme . A particular choice but it's gonna be cool rig ! I like a good Unimog !lol 😎 👍
Forest ranger would be a great great idea

Please use portals on this build! Ultra/Capra/scx10 ii !
What about a digital camo spray job with dual rear wheels and have it as tow rig or like an outpost zombie apocalypse ready vehicle for that just incase situation lol.
👍 We need a SWB umg 6x6 🤨
I want to do this , but with a TRX4 , Wondering will the Axial Hinge system fit the Traxxas with some modification ?, I'd still like to keep the 12.3 wheelbase ..any suggestions ? great video Harley :)
Didn't think the AR60 OCP differential covers fitted onto the builders kit axles?
They are AR44 covers
Someone let Nichole he is spending again on another RC truck.
He is digging that mustache hole deeper and deeper.... 😂
Check out terry lee enterprises. Lots of cool unimogs for inspiration. I think OHV enforcement vehicle, havnt seen many of those.
I kinda want to bud one now
That will be a great builb
Will this be the Tiger King truck?
Paint it like a modern over landing truck
Nice mustache you look like a NASCAR driver now 😄😄😄😄😄😄😃😀👍
That’s cool. Camo
I'd go far left field and go with a WWII P-51, silver with exposed rivets and a tiger shark mouth going down the side of the cab, it would be completely different than anything else anyone else has, lol
Harley's Hot Rodz logo:)
Magpul Breslau rally truck tribute
Do it up as an urban swat team carrier or how about a bad azz overland expedition rig.
Paint it Desert Tan! Its a military vehicle design it should look the part. And dont use orange if you decide otherwise!
How about military medic vehicle? Make it a tribute for front line workers?
