Two of my neighbors have/had Unimogs, but they've either sold or moved. And there's a guy who's kind of infamous around town with a '56 that always has three big malamutes in the back. He's somehow related to Fonzie, and both he and the dogs have been extras in tv shows and movies.
There's also a guy between here and Mt Baker who has a few of them in his yard rotting away.

If Magic needs a work truck, I’ll drive it up for you for the low,low price of: getting to drive it up.
Sent from my iPad using TGR ForumsIt makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

She’s a beaut, but the 2.5s/5tons are easier to fix and more bang for the buck. Parts vehicles are pretty common also. We had a 6x6 5ton towing rig (like a TTT, not the troop carrier version) set up for aggressive backwoods climbing/towing and she was an absolute monster- dragged a 6T bullwheel up the trap rock workroad like it was nothing. Shit, we towed a tracked bombi crane up with it too.
Goddam I miss that truck. Talk about a beast!

Thoughts on the new Jeep Gladiator?
Most of me hates post CJ Jeeps. I respect their ability but they're still Chryslers and the ratio of mall crawlers to real crawlers is off the charts. That said, part of me says this is the ultimate rig in a lot of ways. I'd probably still choose a built Tacoma over the Rubicon but still....

Part of me really wants one, especially if they eventually make it with the PHEV drivetrain from the new 4 door Wrangler.
But then I remember that they're gonna want 40-50k for it new. And if I'm drunk enough to buy a used FCA product, I'm too drunk to drive.

too slow with the phone but I saw a black firetruck retrofitted to a camper. One of those big boxy mid 80's type trucks. Looked like a pain in the ass to drive.

There is an extremely high level of want with me for this, but I'm already a Jeep guy with a Wrangler.
This is by far going to be the best overland rig out there that isn't one of those Iveco/Unimog/ et al beasts. That is if you actually want to take it offroad. The taco's are fine as well, but this will run circles around it and the suspension will definitely be burlier. Parts will be cheap, plentiful, and instead of having the exact same Taco as every other overlander out there with the exact same build, you can make one of these 100% unique, for about 40% of the cost (mod cost only, I think the trucks will cost about the same ultimately with the Rubi being maybe a couple g's more, Tacos aint cheap either).
It is also a convertible truck. Convertible, truck.
The mall crawler douche quotient is sky high though, I don't give a shit though, Jeep rigs are badass and won WW2. America!Live Free or Die

tBTV I posted this already but the huuddgge wheelbase and low resulting breakover Angle (20 deg) is the main weakness. I wish they had a supercab version with flipdown bench seat and shorter WB.
But these days everyone wants comfy seating for 4 fat fucks, so I get why they did this.

I mostly agree esp about the new jeeps. Buy a new Rubicon and throw another 30 grand to just toss the 44s and put in dynatrac 60s etc. But to be honest most CJ guys I know have are running a new v8(inline 6 was a dog but great motor), new tranny, and a 14 and 44(or 60). No one just builds a sammy anymore...

I've never driven a Unimog or a deuce-and-a-half, but this HIGHLY recommended video puts them in perspective nicely.

The novelty would wear off pretty quickly for me I think.

That was hilarious and, yeah, a pretty honest review. The Outside article linked to a few days ago definitely tried pretty hard to make it seem rough around the edges but somehow glamorous. I've gotta think that it'd stop being fun pretty quickly if you actually tried to travel in one of these.

junior had to have the Cummins turbo dodge, 6 spd manual, chipped 8ft box. The reality is that his wife can't really drive the stick which kind of shudders from stop to stop, its more of a hassle to climb up into with small kids, its fucking huge to park and he is so over it
keep in mind this is a somewhat normal PU truckLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know
