Thumbs up *New 1:1 Unimog at my Shop*

My friend Dan is on his cross continental move from Indianapolis Indiana to Fairbanks Alaska and stopped in for a day to hang out, have a few beers and get out of the drivers seat for a day. His wife is driving their dodge cummins pulling a trailer, which they are going to load a brand new subaru on to today. He is driving his brand new 2006 U500 Unimog. They pulled in last night and I could not get enough of it, I was like a kid in a candy store. This thing is increadible and at $159K it should be. He is towing his fishing boat with it, the trailer weighs about 8000lbs and the boat weighs about 8000lbs, he said he would not even know it was back there if he didn't look in the mirror. Check out the winch, what size is on your truck? This one is 30,000 lb ramsey hydraulic

enjoy the pics, I am gonna drive it today, we are unhooking it from the boat and taking her out for a spin, will have pics of that later.












little baby yota with 37's





got winch?????


I am 5'10" and I got nothing on this beast.

If I could distract dan long enough, I could steal it, but at a 139K there is NO way. Wife loves it, but made it clear that it is NOT in the budget.
