The Crawl Space "Rock Bull" Unimog. (pic heavy)

Alrighty Mogaholics, here is a quick update "thumbsup"
This truck has been through hell and back and then back again and has held up to pretty much all of it.
First I started with improving the approach angle. The original design had the winch in front of the body. It looked awesome but as local scale comps became more and more technical I need every bit of clearance possible.
I took a deep breath and grabbed my dermal and mig welder and went to work. Hopefully Trenton approves of my first go with a welder :shock:
Tossed on a Mad Dog light bar for good measure "thumbsup"
Decided to add few small upgrades, VP Currie axles front and rear. Opted for the rear diff cover for the added clearance of the steering tierod.
A little rear steer maybe? Yea I think so
With the rear steer mod came some high clearance links and some 3.5" big bore shocks to bring the CG down some.
Holes in the chassis panels allow for easy access and you can see another geometry upgrade, the RC4WD low CG delrin skidplate, very nice and slides a lot smoother than the stocker.
Pushed the wheelbase out as much as possible and got some sweet departure angle too :mrgreen:
Added a rear winch in case any jeeps need recovery :twisted: and the fuel cell to hide the rear steer servo.
The dual winch control is selectable via this 3 position toggle switch.
And doing some work with the rear steer :mrgreen:

Jealous?
Of - EFFIN - course I'm jealous ! That thing is stinking awesome! "thumbsup"
Rear steer - OH you FAWKER! That's what I was headed for ! I'm sitting on some axles that are rear steer too. I hate being second to do something like that!
Looks great man - just great! Nice mods.

Thank you and highly doubtful, this one's going to the grave with me :mrgreen:

Pretty cool spot, not sure if the water was high or low at the time but a good amount terrain to play on.

It was probably on its way up... I'll shoot some footage when I go there next week.
