Ep. 6 Where do we start?!? Removing UNIMOG Cab. Expedition Camper Build

We are back in Lithuania, working on our Unimog (ex-military U1300L Turbo). We are here for a week this time and have a LOOOOT of work to do. By the end of the week we want to have the cab completely removed from the chassis and in the restorer's workshop. Where do we even start?!?
In this video we identify the four bolts that connect the Unimog Cab to the Chassis and make sure they come off easily (thank goodness for good bolts and grease!). We remove the snorkel, some parts in the engine bay and strip the dashboad to the point that the Unimog is still drive-able as we will need to drive it to the restorer's garage in a few days. There's so much to do and so little time...

Heater cores are just like that you have.... good update.

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Interesting to find these things out 🤓 glad you liked it 👍

[@unimog404]

Awesome! Was waiting on an update :)

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

I've always considered myself a pirate a corsair if the payment is good. Finding a treasure is pretty much everybody's dream, the closest thing I could ever get is to find hidden gems like your channel. Like knowing a secret and not wanting to tell at all. I just started watching, tomorrow is Sunday... Gonna be a good day. Greetings from the other side of the planet. Costa Rica. ¡¡PURA VIDA!!

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Well, that's the best comment we've ever had! 🤩 Thank you kindly me hearty, aharrrrrr 😉
We hope you have a good weekend! 😎👍

Luna needs her own episodes, just the cutest!! Great work on the Mog too, looking forward to the build.

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Ahhhhh, that's very kind, I'll pass on your comment :) However, if we give her anymore air time, we'll have to include her bolting after cats, terrier-izing lizards and quite a bit of fox poo! :)

[@conormac2010]

Looking forward to watching when we get home

[@victorsvanventures6753]

[@mattiaswretman]

Following your process with great interest!

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Thanks very much mate, next video should be up soon :)

[@greenlynchy80]

Great update guys. Hope Luna doesn’t eat your muff 😂🙌

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Hehe, Dave Page has a tee shirt that says, 'If you don't grow up by 40, you don't have to' . . . . that's what I'm aiming for :)

[@Professionalmoochers]

I love how simple it seems to dismantle, taking it apart yourself makes it easier to fix yourself in future.
Awesome project 💪🏼

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Definitely, we doing our best to strip and make good everything but quite sure that things will break in the future :)

[@JockeSelin]

“Liquid on my tool” - *nods* Yup, been there.
Good work guys! We never removed the heater pack, so thanks for that info. 😎👍🏻

[@victorsvanventures6753]

No worries mate, hope yours is progressing well :)

[@JockeSelin]

@@victorsvanventures6753 Just like a Unimog; slowly but surely. 😎👍🏻

[@ewanbuxton4610]

I'm enjoying these films so much, great work guys. X

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Good stuff mate, glad you're enjoying them :)

[@adventurevanfreddie]

I nearly thought that James was going to do 'on your head' with the water. Wow, Depo looks like our kind of shop. Great update guys, hope you're both well! Forgot to say, James, tool control fella👍🔧🛠️🔨❤️

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Haha, but I might have messed up my hair! :) Yes, Depo is ace, especially after the DIY stores in Italy which more closely resemble a jumble sale :)
Oh yes, must try harder, tools everywhere!!

[@unimog404]

with my 404 I can pull of my cab in a day alone. No need to remove big things :D

[@victorsvanventures6753]

That's awesome 👍 very handy.
I guess it would be pretty easy to tilt ours but a full removal is quite a mission 💪

[@danpoczynek]

check out the RUclips channel ( The Outfit ) they to are building a Unimog

[@fuzzzeballs]

i know it sounds silly but do wear eye protection, you loose an an your driving licence goes with it!

[@victorsvanventures6753]

Ah yes, good point. Although I favour the safety squint 🤪
