Mercedes-Benz 406 Unimog 1975
Hello
I have just spent 14 month doing a frame-off restore, to original, the biggest changes have been twin 5" chrome exhaust and a lot of chrome powder coating, even though the rig is over 31 years old there is only around 960 hours on rig and less than 6000 miles.


Have only just finished rebuild ,so not a lot of wheeling yet, the little I have done has been around Schomberg Ontario Canada, I like VERY LARGE hills and ditches.

Those do look fun!

 

hell ya.... i wander what motor is in that thing....

 

I been around em quite a bit and they are very versitile and tougher than ****............a pto snowblower on the front is awsome

 

Some have a little 2.something L 4-banger, others have 6 cylinder Mercedes engines, and a few had Diesels. There was a guy from Canada in Four Wheeler's Top Truck Challenge a few years back that had a 12V in one. But the thing was totally chopped up to fit it. He ended up winning the Tank Trap, but finished 2nd or 3rd overall.

If I could just get my hands on a set of those Portal Axles...

 

there is a guy local by me here in wisconsin that has about 3 or 4 of these things. they are awesome.

 

here is my favorite mog

 

I have nothing to use Portal Axles in but if i had some im sure i could find somthing to build.

 

those axles are really cool. under a m37 with a 12ver

 

Very cool, I would love to have one as well.
There is a place here in Houston that sells restored unimogs.
