Took my Unimog to a smaller MV show in West Tennessee this Saturday at our local Harley Davidson Dealer. The weather wasnt wanting to cooperate so the turnout wasnt as good as hoped but we all had a good time.Allot of old military bikes showed up but my camera died as iwas taking pics... sorry
as for parts try www.pinzgauer.com and ask for Willy if you call (pronounced Villy)
I have no idea as to what they are worth.
Send pics and maybe someone can give you a ballpark number
I installed my Electronic Ignition on my 1961 Unimog 404. I bought it from Expedition Imports from Scott and the install was flawless.
The online directions from the Expedition Imports website were much more clear than the included written directions. The truck is running much better and the...
i have the same groove in the windshield in my Gama Goat. The manual recommends a bit of lubricant along the cover to help it slide through. I cant remember which it recommends but i would assume a petrol based wouldnt be too good for it. Try "KY" jelly.
For any of the resident old farts who...
as my Orlando Florida buddy asked..... Why put Salt on the roads? Thats just dumb.

Yeah we had a pretty hard winter in Tennessee last year. I think we had almost 24 hours of snow on the ground. I feel your pain....... No Really....... :D
RE: Oops!!!
not sure on the fitting but our mech's installed a 4bt in a Mamba with no problems and a 5.9 backed by a Allison in a Saxon which is a very heavily armored vehicle probably more in line with the V150 series. The 5.9 is preforming admirably and will burn the tires off the back when...
As a Sgt currently in the Marine Corps i believe that the digital camo pattern reflects poorly on the Corps. I believe the offered photo is a fine example of a camo pattern in keeping with a well-earned reputation forged over two centuries of service.
:D
Man that looks like a good time...... Any word on how much oil the goat used on the way down. Mines averaging about a quart an hour or so.... im told thats almost normal.
Thanks allot for the pics and stories made for a great read.....!!!!!!
wow.... what a project wish you lived closer i would bring a cooler and come help. I enjoy the wrenching as much as the driving. Good luck and im fully expecting updates with pics
RE: M1008 Painted (and now for sale!)
you have a lot more patience than i have when i painted my MV i just washed it taped and covered the spots i didnt want painted and started squirting paint. Truck looks great. Are you planning on leaving it OD or is some crazy free-hand camo in the works...
ive found that having military vehicles have made my offroad experience much safer. I spend so much time working on them i dont have any time to drive them where i might roll-over. :D
Seriously, I have a Gama Goat and a Unimog both of which could probably stand a rollbar of some type. I carry...
well as an update to any who may be reading this on through a search I used the Seafoam and it cleared up everything. Other than changing the fuel filters afterwards i had no problems. Starts on the second hit of the button usually, still smokes and uses so much oil i wonder where it all goes...
Im looking for (5) 12.5x20 tubeless offroad tires to go on a 10.5x20 Unimog rim. Im two and a half hours north of you in dyersburg tenn and wont need shipping. please send pics and prices to my PM account here. If you dont have that size please let me know what you have that is compatable with...
ive never seen a US cover in winter camo. You might want to look into a custom cover made by a custom boat cover and awning manufacture. I priced a cargo cover in olive drab for my Unimog and it was only a couple hundred dollars. the basic measurements and pick your colors and you should be solid.
Actually ive been talking to the wife about taking one of the trucks up into Colorado trailriding. I might not be able to take a MV. i should have a Pizgauer by then so who knows. If im in the US at the time im in...... Clear from Tennessee
