See the UNIMOG in action!

Pay no attention to me... I was shooting by myself and making it up as I went. Not that great at improvising...

That's pretty cool Love constantly changing camera angles. Poor stump didn't stand a chance


Although one thing.....are your reverse lights out? They seemed to blink on when engaging reverse but didn't stay on while backing up.

I was driven away by cold Winters! By the way, I saw a Fiero for sale in Buford when I was up there a few weeks ago. Later model with the sloped back. Less than $2k OBO as I remember...

No reverse lights on the truck. I was just tapping the brakes to get it to stop. When it's in 4WD, there's a bit of pressure on the driveline and it doesn't want to roll so minimum brakes are needed.

That truck looks like a lot of fun, Evan. I'm sure you could do massive amounts of damage with it, given the right opportunities!

Hmm...actually, my boyfriend and I were looking at how to get rid of a bush/plant thing at his house. He cut it down as far as he could, and the bottom of it looks as if it is 3 or 4 times bigger than the one in your video! Looks like a LOT of roots down there. I figure the only way we can get it out is with a chain...or by digging for a million hours. Can we borrow your unimog?! Haha. Naw...just kidding...sorta. But we'll figure it out eventually. I think we just need someone who has a vehicle that can pull stuff like that. I don't think his mother would be happy with us trying to attach a chain to her van and I doubt his car or his dad's car would be able to do it.

I don't WANT one...I just need to borrow one...for less than an hour. Haha. Maybe even less than a half hour!

If I still had mine I could do it and trust me, if it can do this then it can pull a little bush out

I wasn't surprised that it took a few tries. That is the lightest version of the G with one of the weakest engines and yes he was using a semi flexible rope. Honesty it was a bit reckless to pull it like that, a strong chain with a steady amount of torque is the way to go lest that root go flying through your back windscreen. Here is a more civilized towing operation




and in the interest of Unimog awesomeness

speaking of funny....................miss pizza is gone! =O
New profile picture! Who might this be??

and...chad's...i don't think I am going to that. School just starting and all that. BUSY! But if you do make it to CT sometime, I should totally make sure I can meet up with you!

Also, it would be more impressive to get the stump at my boyfriends house out than the one you did up above. This one is MUCH more difficult.

...I suggested we used a flamethrower on it...but we don't have one...and it might spread to the rest of his lawn. Sooooooo my idea got shot down
