|  UMG10 Doka Build
I was excited when Axial released the 6x6 unimog because I immediately saw the potential to make the original into a Doka. I picked the cab up at my LHS and set to work measuring, drawing up on fusion360, printing prototypes, re-drawing, and eventually printing final pieces to for the rear section. It’s a perfect fit and supports and hinges the 4 door cab just like the rear cage did on the original 2door cab. I’m now preparing for paint.     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Awesome. I wish I'd seen this before I bought the regular mog body. Great job!

Looks great. What color are you going to paint it?

Awesome idea! I just spent most of the weekend watching Estonian mud-racing videos with these, Tatras, and some Volvos and Zils mixed in... (Google "Klaperjaht" for hours of fun!) Definitely made me want to build something different.  |

I wanted to go with a color similar to the full scale example photo but I couldn’t find anything that I liked without trying to mix my own. I ended up picking a Tamiya mustard yellow. It looked like it may be a color you would see on one of these rigs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Kanook, Great idea, looking good! Maybe some buttonhead screws under rear fenders to attach rollbar/bed pieces? Will you cut and bend some lexan to fit inside the tube bed? I've seen old Mogs in the greenish color you posted, kinda battleship blue/grey, mustard yellow, red, off-white and of course camo. Durok, cool another Youtube stuff to watch!  |

Btw. I need to make a simple tweak to the rear cage design and once done I’ll post the files on to Thingiverse so others can print their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Love it. And I’ll bet if you were in to either selling that printed cage or sending it out to folks with printers you’d have a few REALLY interested viewers. Pretty dang cool!
