We had pictures of a similar system on a 508d on here a few years ago. We were wondering if that thing was rear wheel drive also.

The guy I bought my Landcruiser off a few years ago was an electrician who had built a satellite uplink communications system on a Unimog a couple of years ago. It's designed for providing communications for a hospital or city during a hurricane. The thing sits in the basement of a hospital in NH and will only come out during his yearly maintenance trips and if a hurricane hits on the east coast. Twenty years from now, someone should get a hell of a deal on a low mileage Unimog. It can be driven either as an automatic or a standard. If automatic, the clutch pedal swings up out of the way. The steering wheel can also be moved from left to right. The electronics are all in a pod which gets winched up onto the frame. With the electronics he told me it was worth upwards of a million dollars.
