LS SWAPPED UNIMOG 404... IS IT THE FASTEST UNIMOG?! 

I wanna see more! 😎

Awesome, I love Unimogs . The Unimog museum in Germany is worth a visit .

watching from kenya

Very cool! Would love more details on your 4 link and more off-road videos of coarse!

very cool, im restomodding a 404 myself. ive gone with a m130 engine, that is what they would put in in 1970, will have about 140hp, gearbox is modified to 8 speed and i found michelin xml 395 85 20 tires that i mounted on 11x20 rims, they are about 47 inches tall. thing is still in parts exept for the engine, that is fullly rebuild and ready to go.

Hell ya! This is sick

Buster and LSMog in Vegas on the strip!!!!!!! Let's go!

128 degrees C = 262.4 degrees F. Yup, it's hot.

The machine would rather have a Mercedes 300TD. Portal axles will never handle the speed you desire

Transmission fucked up , but still running ... that's unimog . !!!

Cool

Ditch the silly 46's for wide 44's! Have a word with Jay Couch - Boulder Col. Get some billet alloys.

Very cool project - make it cool itself ASAP! "120 degrees celcius isn't that hot, is it?" Yeah, that's REALLY hot, in metric. Edit your videos down to about 10 minutes and keep it tight and I'll ring the bell, as well as subscribing.

lol the maybe mog at ls fest will be dope

The only thing to do with a 404 is put big wheels on 😁. The reason there’s only a torque tube is for the chassis flex that’s designed into the chassis so go steady with your parallel links, could twist them off 😆. Dunno if you know but you shouldn’t drill or weld the chassis for the same reason. My 406 used to do 60mph (65mph with wind behind) my mate 417 does about 70+🤣 and not a fun ride

i'm not usually a fan of LS swaps but I am a fan of old unimogs and this is cool

When you showed the clip of you shifting the old transmission: Having to use a lot of force when going from 2nd to 3rd is normal and takes a bit of getting used to, to do it right. Because you are not actually shifting from 2nd to 3rd. You are shifting back to 1st, but also changing the range, because it's basically a four speed main gearbox. Furthermore there is a lock, where you must shift into fourth first to unlock 5th and 6th and resets when you go back into the first and second range. Usually Mercedes recommended to start in 3rd and only use the lower gears for heavy loads or offroading. With all that out of the way: it's still an old gearbox and especially a truck gearbox that needs it's time to get warm to remotely shift "good". A small tip: I don't know how you did the engine mounts. Mercedes usually also did them as more or less a triangle. The gearbox was fixed in the rear and the engine to it and once in the front. That meant the cab has to be able to flex around it. So maybe check if you twist your frame fully you still got clearance. An easy fix could be to just lift up the cab a bit. Also gives you more tire clearance.

Yep. It's a Frankenstein. It's alive! (well, soft of). Make it Live! (Please?)

I want it !

Would be a great overlanding vehicle

Awesome! Electric fans?

I like the old mog chum.

How God would that be with an auto in it.. Awesome..👌👌

i drove a Unimog with a Ruthmann Steiger hydraulic cargo box. no rear drive, but it could set the cargo box on the ground and leave it behind. Or pick it up and lift it quite high, higher than a regular truck would be. top speed 60km/h. never found the shifting difficult once i got into the habit of double clutching for every shift. the synchros are weak. I used to do last mile delivery from Rail. LOTs of shifting. upwards of 40 stops. all in town. 1st through 6th every time. strong legs ;)

Brabus built a Unimog with a 7.2 litre V12

Put smaller tires on it and you'll get some of your turning radius back and it'll be easier to turn that wheel.

What drivetrain are you using and how did you connect it to portals?

How much suspension travel did you loose by putting that 4 link in?

I need the transmission...

Wjat did you do to change out the enclosed driveshaft to open?

you did agreat job on bringing the mog to the 21'st century . for the expansion bottle the eggcooker on top of the engine doghouse is perfect . The fourlink and drivetrain upgrade is fab ...... beware of having no brakes on these donkeys they tend to be stubborn

Sell it to Grind Hard, Ethan would love that Mog

Has fuel tanks got breathers

How many 404’a you hiding in Canada?

Wonder how fast it doesn’t stop?

The problem is to keep it on the road....if they go tp fast they start to woble or jump and then they are a nightmare to keep them on the road😂

That's the oldest UNIMOG I've ever seen!

Your block is suffering from being frozen. I have a 6.0 liter that sounds exactly the same and acts the same.

No steering though you will need massive wheel spacers now to get any kind of use out of the vehicle steering wise but it will look great.
