The new suspension setup is impressive, getting that much flex while retaining the payload.

Who watched this then added Kippers Adventure? Lol Awesome truck, setup & beer. Great job mate.

That RC only got stuck because it's tyres were still inflated. Rookie RC controllers!!!

I used to run one of these for work. They are amazing vehicles. The downside: If you really stick one you better have a friend with a big bulldozer!

For those that read his book, this guy is how I envision Mark Donaldson VC before the army.

what an absolute legend of a guy ronny you should bring him on some of your trips

I was a Leopard ll-tank driver in the army, we use to make jokes over the Unimog, they were so small and narrow in comparison with a tank 🤪

Tractor brands should invest in trucks like the Unimog U400. Knowing a big part of work in small farms, is towing trailers. It would allow more price competition on the market and lower taxes, being designed as a tractor.

If the Aussie military is anything like the US Army, the blackout panel is to keep your cab dark when driving with night vision so your monocular doesn’t flare out

Yes they are for night driving, has blackout which is very tiny lights you can only just follow people and you have reduced which is tiny little lights at the front. The panel goes over all the interior lights aswell but has little holes so you can see any warning lights going off

They were to help night vision even before NV tech was used for driving. Dash lights make it hard to see when you are driving on blackouts as they reflect on the screen. And they are bloody bright if your eyes have adjusted to no-light conditions!

Haha we used to drive mogs and rovers at night before we even had NVGs. Blackout switch kills all the lights, headlights and taillights so even when you brake no lights come on other than a tiny marker on the back for reference for following vehicles in the convoy.

Running over the toy car, reminded me of a similar scene in The Terminator 😂🇦🇺

I’ve always liked Unimogs. They are impressive machines.

Hello. I would like to thank you for all the useful information you provide us with and enjoyable trips. I would like to thank you for your commitment to the same method from the beginning of your follow-up and it has not changed. Thank you very much.

Great video Ronnie I’ve been watching your videos for years and years you make amazing content keep up the great work Stay safe out there

That thing does some great flexing for a truck like that. Very impressive rig!

What a beast! New dream vehicle

1.2m wading depth .. that's 47" .. or up to the roof on many cars .. and really well thought out camper section , i like the idea of using container twist-locks to secure it to vehicle

Thats an awesome setup! Go anywhere camper!

A house solar panel! That says it all! Great episode, great rig, thank you! Oh and you should always air down your off road remote controlled vehicles. You'd been out of that ditch and you'd still have your toy lol!

I remember drive the Unimog when i was in the army some of the places i got them in. miss driving them slow old girls must have to get me one some time soon

Finally where does he keep his stash of hash.

Poor little fella

Pretty sure I worked on Wheatstone project with this dude.

Thats what I learned to drive in. My first on road driving experience was through Liverpool in Sydney in a Unimog in peak hour traffic. I loved driving our Mogs out bush, they always felt unstoppable. PS the blackouts are only there to allow you to follow each other when youre moving through the bush and no we never had night vision. At least not when I was in between 88 and 92.

Great truck again Ronny, I love seeing what other blokes do to their trucks & pick up some good ideas or look at alternative approached to use in our truck build. I suppose by now you may have picked up were converting a HINO 4X4 truck that weighs in at just under 9 ton unladed & nearly 14 ton loaded, our build is for full time live aboard with VLR capabilities mate. Anyway mate thanks again another great modified, Steve.

Portals for the Win ? It's like an APC in sound and agricultural nature.

0:35. Woah. Looks like Sid grew up to own a Unimog. 😂

FYI every line on a soft sling represents a ton :)

Got some nice long inbuilt snatch straps at the back i see. Built not brought

Love the flex that it has

Shit mate, you got me all nostalgic about me army days. I loved em then, and I'm still loving them now. Dead easy piece of kit to work on. Thanks for giving us a look.

Great video mate. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

I want to see an expedition with a Mog and other 4x4s with real view on how it goes on tour. Does it get left behind? Does it pull everything out?

Such a big truck. I was expecting more than a bed and a desk in the cab 🙈

Young fella just burst into tears when the toy truck got run over. Thought he’d like to see the unimog. “Truckie is dead! He is not going to be ok!” Whoops.

Nice setup. Just to mention you should put your solar panel on top of the rails. Like that it will only produce like 25% of it's max. output.

Noticed some bar work above the solar PV panel. Partial shading can reduce the performance of the panel's output.

The mog came with the PTO winch on some variants. Also they are not tie down points they are sling points for air transport by helicopters, from memory the chinook was the only aircraft that could sling load it.

I’m sure the gods will smite him down for using the term “tie down point” instead of “sling point”. Impossible that if these were transported in the back of a plane or on a ship that they wouldn’t use those as a tie down point.

How expensive is that shadow to the output of the solar panels? A permanent shadow nomatter which direction the sun is in.

So the standard ex-ADF mogs are UL1700L. The first L signifies the long wheelbase, and the second L signifies the extended tray at the back. A lot of UL1700L owners just call their model a U1700L, but that’s actually the short wheelbase version. It was hard to tell which one this was from the video. In some shots it looked longer and others it looked shorter. I’m interested to know because I’m having a truck built with a short wheelbase U1700L as the base vehicle.

Never heard them called UL1700L, we only called them U1700L and the smaller mogs were called the U1300Ls and meant they had 170hp and 130hp engines respectively.

The other red mog on modified also had 3 winches. Front, rear, motorbike carrier

It's always interesting to see these big rigs, but how poorly they manage the space vs how you have to be in a standard Ute canopy

Plus carried heavy duty axle support stands once flat tyre was removed. Safety always first in the army! Two man job Hope this helps.

The Mog needs some restoration done or it will rust away.
