I want a MOG

[usmcracing]

Unimog crawling over some big rock with ease.

That is cool, but you could also put MOG or Volvo axles in your Toy and get the same effect

[usmcracing]

I've looked into that but $$$ kills it for me.

nah, just build up your toy axles and forget about the extra 2" or so inches that you get w/ the portals. long wheel base, flex, and low gears will get you the same effect.

get some kamaz or BTR/GAZ axles shiped here from russia

[cancel]

why? cos you want to be original? it doesn't seem practical to get some axles that have a huge shipping price and don't have good support or people that know them in the US.

but it would be original... kinda like making a rock crawler out of a porche

*I was talking about the russian axle idea

The reason I'd like to have a WHOLE Unimog is cause they are cool looking. Some may think that they are ugly but I like them. I've came close to buying one a few times in the past, I know where one is in NC for $3500 on 39.5 Irocs. I wouldn't have any where to park it. I'd buy a M998 (USMC Hummer) if I had the cash too. Hell if had the $$$ there are alot of cool crazy 4wds and cars I'd buy, this is something that my wife doesn't like about me.. LOL

You buy the Mog and park it in my driveway so I can take parts of it. :rofl:

[usmcracing]

Sure only if you park the Willys in my drive way for a few days as well. :saw: :xbeer2: :welder: :rofl:

How about the mog that was in the reserve parking lot off of the birmingham gate for a few days? I dug that one!!!

[usmcracing]

that wasn't a mog. its the replacment for the 5 ton. not sure what they are called but I saw them (the army) test them while I was stationed in Yuma. I lived on YPG which is a Army testing base, Yuma Proving Grounds. I saw some cool tanks and other new toys that'll be coming to a base never you soon.

I saw 3 of those things caravanning down 75 in GA. They look way more bad ass than a MOG.

The army test people drove the shat out of them. Every time I seen then they'd be wearing a full Bell race helet and there would be a trail of dust behind them. I really liked it out there in Yuma. Hot but fun, Joni is going to kill when I ask to get stationed there again in two more years.

*clarification

the russian axle deal is what i was b*tching about up there. on second thought, don't pay attention to my ramblings
