And before you ask, all I know about the big brown machine is that it was supposedly once a mobile missile launch control center. The sides slide out for lots of interior space when parked. They (Colorado Unimogs) use it as a mobile hunting/fishing camp.
I visited this place a few years ago. The Unimog inventory has probably rotated since I was there, but I'm sure most of the 'salvageable' vehicles are still there.

Somewhat related, I did some 'work' with the IDF in the late '90s. Here's a shot of me and a couple of the IDF boys at our camp in the Negev right on the border. We did some runs along the border, but I can't remember what we were driving. You should have seen all the tall poles with cameras...

Can you tell me the name and/or address of the deuce shop? I hope to be taking my new deuce up that way in the next month or so and may be in need of parts or repair.

By the way, the distance between the wheel wells inside the M101A2 trailer bed is about 45". The comm shelter requires a bit over 48". I do not believe they will fit in the M101A3 either, and you can't trim that one down due to the larger tires.
