    Way too big for many off-road trails, super slow getting anywhere to go off-roading due to portals and low gearing, poor visibility in any direction but forward, astronomical fuel consumption, ridiculously expensive parts, crappy to park, overheight, and louder than a tractor inside. Unimogs look great in pictures, but suck for anything other than what they were designed for (farming and military), which is why they are always for sale. Buy one and tell me how you like it, then sell it when you get honest with yourself.

    Just trying to help!!

    Yes, Debbie Downer, I understand the completely impractical nature. :)

    Despite this, a boy can dream!

    You should be able to find a gubmimt H1 at auction pretty cheap if you're willing to put in some wrenching.

    There was one of these Volvo’s C303s in the neighbourhood I grew up. Ex Swedish military guy owned it. Guess he was nostalgic. Pretty sure it is the squarest “brick” Volvo ever made, and that’s saying something.

    You can actually buy ex-military Humvees, and they actually make add-on air-conditioners for them!

    Unfortunately, unlike the M1009 Chevy Blazers and pickups, they can never be titled, and thus will never be street legal...

    :( :mad:
