Uni-mog

I was watching a show on the tube this afternoon and saw these. Pulled up this website and decided I gotta find one of these.

We had a guy in our radio group for a while from Colorado that had a original UNI-MOG that he had rebuilt and made into a nice camping and radio rig. That thing was awesome. It even got decent fuel milage. No way in hell I could ever afford one of the Global Expeditions rig as nice as they are, but I will be keeping an eye out for a base UNI MOG. I could fix that up and have a sweet BOV..

Check out the pinzgauers. I love those. One day I will have one.

Those are pretty sweet. Wonder how easy they are to find in the states.

Fairly easy, look up swissarmyvehicles.com

I want a Pinzgauer really bad, they are pricey to work on though. Really cool driveline, and features too.

Aahhh, I drooled over the UniMog for some time back in my 4 wheelin' days.
Never got one.

Now there's yards and fences and a park where I used to play.

I hear you Gfixer. A bunch of us use to 4 wheel and ride our dirt bikes on this mountian (it's the highest point in Knox Co at a little over 1900'. Had a fire tower on top and a fire road going to the top. We rode all over the mountian on both sides. They have made it a state park now.
Lots of good memories.

Found a nice Pinz on ebay. . . almost affordable! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pinzg...item2ec03eac31

Not a bad price Stormy. From the pics it looks to be in decent shape.
