Swap all the things! Build all the things! Do all the things! Mike refuses to drive boring stock cars... and we can understand why... they are boring! Instead, he builds his cars into his perfect version of them. For example, this Mercedes Benz Unimog, a vehicle originally built to basically be a military do all tractor, turned into Mikes version of the perfect overlander, loaded with little touches that all

We all envy Mike and his mad skills. He has more builds in the works.

As a german kid i would never understand why my father would claim a Unimog as his "Dreamcar", roughly 20 years later i finally understand why.

If you haven't seen a 1960s or 70s sprinter with the roll up door in the back you can put Unimog drivetrains on them

@clemensschimmele6346 4 года назад

You don't normally have to hold that lever for the diff locks to stay engaged, so yours was apparently just broken. At any rate, kudos for the nice build!

@MrNuschelowski 4 года назад

In Germany we sometimes say "Universal-Motor-Gerät" instead of Unimog. And we think it´s beautiful.

Your mounting "step" on the rim could be used to assist when stuck ... wrap rope/strap around that protuberant and other side around a tree big rock , engage gear and the turning of the wheel "winches" in the rope/strap helping pull you out of the mud ... fantastic creation! 👌

I have a 73 Unimog 406, one heck of a machine. The thing is a beast also for anyone new to Unimogs don't be scared when you see a ton of levers where the gearshifter is even if you fu*k up it won't break.

@sv_cheats1970 4 года назад

ECS Tuning thank you for the heart

@kustom4935 4 года назад

Awesome fab skills! I agree... you never stop learning. Having nearly finished a complete rebuild on a '88 Toyota Truck 4x4, it turned out very well overall. But if I had to do it again with the knowledge I now have, I'd tackle it differently. Perhaps my next project will be a Unimog... Always loved these trucks. Again, awesome job!!!

@esr243 4 года назад

The hand-throttle is to negotiate extreme off-road obstacles at slower than walking speed, in particular steep climbs and descents. I learned driving on one of these in the military. Awesome trucks. Ours were five cylinders petrol.

@davidray6762 8 месяцев назад

The 404 was designed with a 6 cylinder 2.2 litre motor as standard. Often mistaken as a 5 cylinder because the no.6 sparkplug is hidden under the cab scuttle. Absolute sod to change.

@esr243 8 месяцев назад

@@davidray6762 Thanks. I stand corrected. They were indeed 6 cyl petrol, and a pleasure to drive, especially totally stripped down with a couple of GPMGs and a Point 50 mounted at the back, a real “battle-wagon”. In 1979, we used them as the “red side” (actually in NATO, it used to be coded “orange”) in a full training exercise against the 82nd ABN dropped in eastern Belgium, exactly where their forefathers defeated the Germans but with great losses during the cruel winter 1944.

@MrBEAN584 4 года назад

that oil bath air filter is used on every diesel tractor that's like pre 95. so idd assume they are safe 😊

@Knuck3ls1 4 года назад

"Assume" all you want. Technology advances for a reason. Air filters are more effective at all engine speeds while oil bath filters are not. As stated in the video, there is also the possibility that if you accidentally overfilled or used too light weight of an oil you could definitely cause a runaway engine scenario.

Great ideas with the bed sides for ramps and the door stowage. I was planing to make pockets on the bed sides and on the frame and have short pipe sections that fit in them to widen the bead and lengthen it for full weight capacity. Just the same as the cables you are using, but really strong

@clooperman3745 4 года назад

Smashing Unimog, a friend had a Unimog 404 with the 2.2lt petrol engine and that would get to 65mph as the engine revved higher than a diesel, he changed it for the 2.8lt version which made it a bit faster but acceleration was a lot better, he then fitted the Unimog crawler box to it which gave it two more gears below first which made a huge difference offroad but it was a thirsty truck.

@rockdog2584 4 года назад

Nice build. I like the idea of the turbo diesel transplant. I used to work on these things for a guy that imported and resold them. We used to get 2,8 liter gas engines out of regular sedans and drop that in place of the little motors. Twin carb version could be good for 160 or so hp. Worked pretty well.

Looks amazing, I see a lot of hours into it. The only thing is the 4 wheel drive in Lockers. You don't have to hold it in place to have used it, lol. It just wasn't adjusted correctly. I have wheeled a ton with mine full locked. I'm on my 3rd 404 and they all worked the same.

@hendrikplumer6814 3 года назад

This is the only hot-rodded Unimog that I have come across so far. I drove a 404 when I was in the army, and that was quite some time ago. What strikes me is that the wheelbase looks a little odd. Did you stretch it? If the engine is shot, you have no alternative than to swap it, of course, but I liked the original 82 horse thing. It was a bit of a guzzler, though. What I like best about your project is the paint job. Looks amazing.

@Happymali10 2 года назад

Talking about it being slow, don't forget that the Unimog was supposed to be a tractor that can also go on the road as a truck. Unimog means "Universal Motorized Tool" in German. They don't need to be fast, their point is to work, power attachments and be easy to fix if they break. (Also please take care of the rust out back)

You don't need to hold the locker lever, or at least you aren't SUPPOSED to have to hold it. Detent will take care of that if the mechanical linkage is adjusted correctly. As the owner of a handfull of 404's I can appreciate all the work you put into it, thanks for sharing! Is the steering box you put in ported for a hydraulic assist, or just running off the box itself?
