1963 Mercedes Benz Unimog 404.0 For Sale - $24,500 Congratulations, you have the opportunity to purchase one of the best 404.0 Unimogs out there. I hate to see it go but my interests have gone another way coincidently about when I have gotten the truck exactly how I want it. There is a...

Is Canyonlands a better stay for a larger motor home than Moab Valley?

Thanks for the great idea Greg. I was thinking of making a cradle that hooked up to the front and rear bumper using 2-3 receiver hitch holes but center mounting the winch is a sweet idea. Then I would not have to lug the winch cradle around and find a place to store it on the truck. I will have...

I am mounting a Superwinch 16.5 on my Unimog 404.0. I had a bumper made that turned out great but I have one reservation. It sticks our pretty far. My approach angle has suffered with this huge winch on the nose of the truck. For some it wouldn't be a big deal but I can think of some obstacles...

This is the ledge that I was talking about. "][/URL] "][/URL] Last time I was on Cliffhanger this was as smooth as smooth can be...

It could of been covered up by now, but I remember it was right after that last large ledge about a hundred feet after the main group of ledges when the trail takes a 90 degree right turn and down into the stream bed. I just remember it being a really nasty off camber drop off next to a ledge...

The only area I really noticed that was considerably easier was the sharp right after the last large step. It used to be a pretty nasty V with a drop off but now it is filled in with concrete and no problem at all. It is still one of my favorite trails.

I just put this in my RZR and it works awesome. It would work just as well in a full size rig too. http:/http://www.ssvworks.com/sc-am4313.html The volume control is nice to have. The wireless one looks pretty sweet too, just didn't want to spend the extra cash...

Well...after going back and forth on this and talking with people who actually use the crawler box I think I am going to do it. I will still have the option of the normally low 1st and 2nd. This will just be another option. I was under the assumption that I would loose my normal crawling ratio...

You would be able to shift out of it but it is not seamless. It is kind of interesting. You shift into 1 and 2 and then to get to 3-6 you actually have to smack the shifter over into the other set of gears. On the road you start out in 3rd similar to a larger truck.

It does not affect the 2 reverse gears. If I have read correct, you shift into these gears with the reverse lever in neutral to even get them to enguage. I am kind of leaning toward not getting them. I have looked into them even more and I have found out that they are pretty fragile. I guess...

I was offered a crawler box to throw in the Unimog. This is set of gears that are bolt on and only affect the first two gears (basically the low gears). But I am afraid that they will be to slow. Here are the numbers. What do you think?

Thanks for the help. I hope I can get this system cooled down before summer...

Can anyone suggest a quality radiator shop? One that would be able to re core an old radiator or be able to suggest/find a replacement. Thanks
