The Unimog U500

So I drove up to Salt Lake City the other day to look at this Unimog U500 Short Wheelbase.  I've got a fascination with the U500.  I would love to push snow with this thing.  This first picture shows the size next to the dinky little Porsche.  The plow is 132" wide.  You could make one pass where most plows would have to take two.  Anyway, I wanted to share the photos with you.  There are a couple of awesome U500's on the Unimog® Shop right now.  Check them out here Unimog U500's For Sale

Unimog Sightings...

Over the 4th of July weekend I saw a few nice Unimog 404's out and about.  Here are some photos

This second 404 has been completely restored and belongs to a local business...obviously they use it for advertising...excellent choice of vehicle I might add.  Initially I wasn't a huge fan of the 404 models but lately I'm finding that I really want one one.  They are incredibly offroad and the most affordable Unimog available.

They had it in the local parade.  If you're looking for a nice clean 404 there are a bunch available on the Unimog® Shop right now.  CLICK HERE to see the Unimog 404's currently for sale.

Mercedes New Unimog Concept...

So Mercedes celebrated their 60th anniversary of the Unimog this month with the unveiling of a new Unimog Concept.  They say it was inspired by a Dart Frog.  I guess it is just a concept but it certainly doesn't look practical by any sense of imagination.  To me a Unimog is a purpose built truck...it's been called the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles but this is a show truck...I would be afraid to get that thing dirty or scratch the chrome.

Defender 90 in Moab...

So before I got into Unimogs I was obsessed with Land Rover Defenders.  I still am!  They are so different from Unimogs but I have had my Land Rover NAS Defender 90 SW for about 10 years now and I'm sure I will have it forever.  This group of photos is last years Moab trip.  I have been going to Moab since I was in Highschool with friends.  These are the photos from last years adventure.  Most of the pictures are from Fin's and Things trail as well as metal masher.

Bought a Gelandewagen...

Sorry the photos aren't the best we've had a little snow here..... but I wanted to show off my latest purchase. I found a clean 1999 Europa G500 that I picked up.
