Are all those shifters for the 20 speed?

I like the "Henri Rousseau" inspired upholstery.

Serious international tourers would criticize this rig for hanging over the axle too much in the rear (the technical term I forget). This makes it harder to negotiate steep terrain as the rear tends to get hung up. To fix that, one could replace the dual cab with a single and move the living unit forward. Aside from that nitpick, however, it looks like a fun toy.
We should invite the owner to the NorCal Diesel Drive on July 19th.

With that 15k lb winch I dont think the rear departure angle would be too much of a problem.
The front coil springs are unique. Spring in spring and kicked over out of plumb too.

Some around the world overlanders prefer the standard 4WD Mercedes trucks (911, 1017 etc) because the parts for them are more readily available around the world. The Unimog has much more specialized parts.
