An Amusing Unimog quote...

Ran across this the other day thought it was pretty amusing...

“Unimog is the cockroach of all purpose vehicles. When the last H1 Hummer has turned to dust, when the final Land Rover has rotted into topsoil, there will still be Unimogs


Who ever wrote this never had a Land rover series II with a stainless Steel Chassis...

you dawg. your buddy in florida called my store today and asked what the military medical chest was and why it was sent to him. wanted to know if a machine gun or cannon was coming next. I mentioned the initials PJ to him. he laughed and said that explained it all.

How much treasure is he storing for all his buddies in the empire?

You wanna here what it sounds like when a guy with a British accent craps himself? (Language warning) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWCvsT2M47Y[/media]

I wouldn't mind having a SEE or a 406 with a schmitd snowblower, and I will admit a 404 can go in places a deuce cannot, but I can always get out and walk there and back faster then a 404 can get there. That is why there are so many utube vids of mogs trail riding.... The guy walking is bored and seeing as he is already in the lead, he might as well hold a camera.

Too bad you are not closer, I would Challenger you to a tug-o-war. See how Much good your locking diffs are when I drag that puny truck all over the Wal-mart Parking lot:driver:
Thats funny you were schooled and your response is this? Wow you want to drag a truck that weighs half as much as yours and you think that proves something? Let's go wheeling and my truck will destroy yours.

Schooled in what? If I lived in an area with rock canyons to go up I might own a mog... But I haven't found any rock canyons in CT. Plenty of boat ramps and lots of water. A 404 could not tow a 8000 # sailboat and launch or retrieve it.

Doesn't make one truck better then the other... It's like trying to compare a table saw and a chainsaw, both cut, but do very different jobs.

Since I don't necessarily have a cat in this fight, perhaps a little tail twisting is in order. I would beg to point out that a Unimog S404.114 was rated at a gross weight of 11,000LBS with load, and can pull up to 21,000 on a four wheel trailer...not fast, but it will pull. And might I suggest taking your pulling contest off the pavement, the only time you need FWD on pavement is in deep water or snow, and you may be a little short of both at this instant. As the magnetic sign on the rear of my S404.114 states "Hummer and Land Rover Recovery Vehicle", I've done both, and you might want to check the grade of bolts used in your tow hooks and bumpers, they do break all too often under a Unimog and a C-130 extraction strap's pull.....Please permit me to point out that I used to run my Unimog across 3 foot deep lakes in Texas, much to the consternation of the boaters, so pulling a bass boat trailer up a ramp might not be anything that a 40 HP Model T Ford wouldn't be able to accomplish.

Never understood why European tow rating were based on 0 tongue weight?

I guess something has to be able to rescue a Mog

I can throw up a bunch of videos of deuce getting pulled out too. What's your point? How did this turn from a civil conversation into a pissing match?

I wanna see the vids of mogs pulling deuces. I could not find any:razz:

It's still civil, greenjeepster just forgot we were going to pick on 'Rovers now. ;)
To hard to pick on Landys, they are not even a real off road vehicle... They are only all wheel drive cause cobble stones are slippery when wet

Here is some hardcore landrover off roading footage. Not for the guy without his galoshes.
