peter lena 8,631 #2 Posted February 13, 2022 @ebinmaine love it , old school original set up , with upgrades to make it all work better . Mercedes UNIMOG , always had that extreme chassis flex , combined with PORTAL AXELS AT ALL 4 CORNERS , and 32 SP GEAR BOXES . my first experience with that type of dodge , was a 6x6 version that was still in the shipping crate ! bought as war surplus . working at a tree trimming place as one of my first jobs , spraying down brush , that 6x6 was an extreme rock crawler , no effort at all to crawl over or drive thru anything . had a good teacher , emphasizing , correct gear / range, to get the job done , also showed me how to use a winch properly . gearing is your friend , loved driving that thing , pete 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth R Cluley 522 #4 Posted February 13, 2022 Awesome article. When I first started at Fire Dept some 40 odd years ago we had one used as brush truck. We would put a "rookie" in and have him drive through ditch at an angle. Right in middle just go nuts and make them stop with body rotated screaming you broke the frame! The reaction was priceless. Loved to drive that truck! You could put it in granny low and walk faster than it but that thing would climb a wall. So much power. Pulled many a larger truck out of numerous situations with it. 3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EB-80/8inPA 1,641 #5 Posted February 13, 2022 From the article: “I was just done,” he said, later adding, “They’re like potato chips. You can’t just have one.” Does this remind anyone here of anything? 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,714 #6 Posted February 16, 2022 Looks like something that would roll out of @Pullstart's shop... Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #7 Posted February 16, 2022 Mike Festiva built an articulating truck on YouTube. Looks very similar, but his was more compact. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
