UTMC

Not sure if it's a Unimog, but I want one.
Actually, I want this one. It's just awesome.

not a unimog, its some french thing, deployed with AA hummers to help them dig in.

Looked cool never saw them perform always had issues with them on the ships.

I know Mercedes makes something that looks like that

Although, my memory's a bit hazy. Haven't seen one in 20 years

Are you sure about that? This is a Unimog and it looks the same-

Much as I'm not a fan of big SUV's, this is a pretty cool version:



Trailer has full and comfortable living quarters and it's hard to see but there's a BMW GS hanging off the back...

That's a Unimog. I love the radio trucks.

Sure looks like a Unimog to me. If not it's still sweet as hell. Personally though I'm more of a van man, so I've always wanted one of these:

It's a Unimog from Mercedes.
Been in the Engineer inventory from
at least the late 80's/early 90's.
Fun little toy that bounces the shit out of you when driving. It's a
standard trans on crack. In another life I had a license for one
of these little things. Also known as the SEE:
Small Emplacement Excavator.

The one I posted at top is parked up at Bear Mountain NY in the maintenance yard.

I just love the thing, I want it.

is it really a uni?

we brought 30 of them from hawaii to texas and the MTMC folx swore it was a french knock off. all of them bled all over the place, i want to say 5 maybe 10 actually started and left with out help. the rest needed a wrecker. was a huge debacle, I'll keep calling them french built.

I doubt that the french would use a merc cabin. Could it be older Unic's ? Maybe they had the licence to build german trucks as a war compensation but probably not after the late 50's.

Since today is a beautiful day, and I love riding motorcycles, I'll go take a better look.
Yesterday when I saw the thing we were under a tornado warning, so I didn't stick around long.

Damnit, now I want a Unimog...

I want one of the similar Volvo C303 things.

There's also this. Totally different thing, but cool none the less.

the biggest challenge on this one is to have 4 windows from the inside but none from the outside.

The roof and half the walls slide down for driving and up for using the interior.
The windows aren't visible in the top image because the roof and sides were down.
In the lower images, the roof is up.

I'll take one of each please. Not the French ones though. There's a guy a couple blocks from me at work who has one in the parking lot. Looks like a daily driver. I'll see if I can get a pic.
