Unimog Review, Modified Episode 34 

Every yacht needs a dingy.

Russ Laye That last sentence would've gone over a lot of ppl' heads. 😆👍🏻

Russ Laye Nice one bro XD But do you mean the Mog 404 instand of the 440. Never heard of a 440

possibly, it might just be a European model who knows??

Russ Laye I'm German. Maybe it's one of the new Mog range

Ross Westmore please explain that last sentence, cos I dont get it!

Hi Fraser, I'm a Land Rover fan also and live in Western Australia. I have a 3.9 V8 manual Disco 1, Range Rover Classic and a Range Rover 4.6 HSE P38. Like you i've been hanging out for this review and also like you, if I could justify it, I would buy a Unimog also :-)

Fraser Thomson... I'm also in Scotland😮😮 I'm more of a Mitsubishi guy though!! most recent was a Pajero SWB, 2 inch lift, snorkel, chunky tyres and a shit load of tow straps 😂😂

Sir_Forsaken g'day I'm in WA too. just got my licence last year and the old man's pushed me down the one life live it road owning a disco 2 td5. I was just wondering where you go for parts. I know abut rover craft and barbagellos but sometimes they don't have what I need.

Hey mate, believe it or not I get a lot of my parts from ebay. When I can't get the bits i need there, I use my local land Rover specialist "Whyatts" who are pretty good for a lot of stuff albeit sometimes a bit on the expensive side but probably not as expensive as Barbagellos or Rovercraft. The guy who owns it "Steve Whyatt" is a great mechanic and very very knowledgeable, especially on the TD5. He was one of the first to discover that the newly released TD5's had a problem of engine oil getting into the wiring harness and running down into the ecu box and updated LR who made changes. Your dad started you off in a great vehicle but, and this is the big but, you MUST maintain it properly and if maintained you'll have an awesome off-roader. Me and a mate have just started a YT channel called "noobs off-road" for a bit of fun, send us a message on there :-). I apologise for the naughty word that "big shauno" uses on the intro hahahaha

exactly hahah

ME TOO!!!

Also, this is the biggest vehicle in the Modified series, as well as the longest episode. Love it! Thanks Ronny!

Thus the split case on the diff housing.

I maintained a mog for the first 4 yrs of my trade and you said everything I was thinking. They're on the edge of being a recreational 4x4, it's just lucky they are so bullet proof. I've seen so many couples that wouldn't be able to change a tyre or do most repairs due to the size. The hubs are designed to be the part that would break. A quick repair provided you have spares and are able to lift them.

SO!!!!!! NO DOWNSIDE WORTH MENTIONING??

Does that include all portal axles systems ? Say for a land cruiser or an FJ or something

ElectricRides lol

ElectricRides originally designed as Mercedes Benz's tractor

ElectricRides But a bit high on fuel use.but a very very cool truck.

The origin of the unimog lays in post war history... the need for a machine that could do field work as good as fulfill the transportation needs triggered two brothers to come up with the concept. Mercedes saw the potential and bought the idea... thats where the Mog started.The name UNIMOG is the german acronym for Universal Motor Machine (Utility). The Mercedes Tractor - actually is a different product line and came years after the Unimog was already established.

YOU BETER START GIVING IT STEROIDS NOW!!!

@@TOMAS-lh4er I have been giving it steroids for a long time now and, it's not working. Everytime, it needs to head to the damn shop for more repairs LOL 😀 😀. Hope you and your family a very happy Easter.

Buddha Mack one thing that blew my mind with these things at work is how hard they are to break, our fleet consisted of defenders, hiluxs, sprinter 4x4s and unimogs, all of the aforementioned died and broke after 10 or so years of hard service, the unimogs there are still 40 year old ones with 50,000 hours just laughing

You right

Haha this comment has made my night, thanks Andrew

Depending on the wetness maybe a battleship.

including the spare thats 10 fucking grand for rubber's alone!!! Could buy a decent 2nd hand older 4wd for the same cost. And filling this beast machine with say 800L of fuel would be well over a grand as well (assuming $1.35/L price or more). Gotta be rich to buy AND run one of these things but man, that would be a life. A landship if i ever saw one. And would wanna be if it cant do much more than 90k/h on the highway. Long drive time, ive done that an a KLR across the Nullabor at about 85-90 most the way, i tell ya id trade both my testicles to do it again in THAT thing!

Still cheaper than owning a land cruiser

These exact tires, Michelin 395/85-20, are 1000€ brand new each. NOT 2000 even if there is a difference between € and US. Note that these ones usually don't were very much under this relatively light truck. These are make to carry a 20 ton truck by 4 tires and can easy be redone after 60 k miles to do the same again. Redone means thread is cut.

+der Jack australian dollar is utter shit at that time 1usd was .70aud so about $1800 per tire I do believe

well they do (or at least did) have a schoolbus- monstertruck at Lencelin....

Yeah, he can probably drive from Perth to Bondi Beach w/o refuelling.

@@speedygonzales9993 hopefully he breaks down before Bondi Beach to save having to go to Australia's biggest shit hole!

Australia is shit, in general, I would know this as I live in New Zealand and we beat your country in every category.

@@robertjunior249 shut up

Hahaha...from Unimog to NZ and Australia trash talking. Boys will be boys.

Steve LaForce yes

. . . including center lock

Shouldn't it also have central tires inflating system as well?

Patriot USA if it's on the right side then what's the problem
