Congrats!

 

Thanks, it sold pretty quick, within a few days. A guy from Ottawa, Canada bought it. He's an outdoor Photographer and a real nice guy. He's flying down on the 6th to pick it up. I went and removed all the stickers I had on it for him. WOW, I like it even better without the stickers!

Mike





Not bad looking without the stickers, huh...

I'll more than likey will go with something like a UNIMOG.



Here is a video showing the articulation the MOG has, they are considered WORLD's most Ultimate off road vehicle. They can go just about anywhere in the world.

Pretty cool, whatcha ya think.

Mike

 

LOL...yes they are.

I'll have to add my own touches to my build of course

Mike

 

That mog was for sale around here I think...definately would be a badass build!!

 

hell yeah bad ass truck

 

that unimog ate that wall like it was a curb...SWEET!!!! congrats on the sale.

 

Hey. I remember you from the FJCruiser forum when I had mine. I always liked your truck. Whats the bad boy weigh?

 

Thanks

Thanks, it weighs in a little over 3 Tons. I had it weighed on a cal truck scale, it came in at 6,300lbs and it was not loaded completely.

I'm not sure about the new Unimogs but the old ones would fall apart if you went over 45 mph and you fall apart if you drove them for more than 2 hours at a time. That, and they had 20 speed gearboxes.

Now that is rad as hell.

 

That is a Barabas Unimog, which cost alittle over $250,000! A little to rich for my blood.

Your right about the older MOGs, but you can buy "Fast Axles" for them, they give you faster highway speeds. They run around $5,000 to $6,000 for a complete set.

Mike

 

That's a Unicat MAXI MOG, they look "Top Heavy", but it's just an illusion, all the weight is real low in the vehicle, they can do some amazing things.

Mike

 

bumping this thread for my fav fj ever.sad he passed

 

This is sick as fk. The greatest FJ I've ever seen. Any word on that Unimog build.

 

How did you like your Icon c/o's?

 

Mike passed away a couple years ago... RIP Mike
