The U1100 416 project: Unimog Trialer!!!! (off roader)
By: Villager Date: September 14, 2013, 3:41 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Big news! we have bought another Unimog :o :D that brings the
total to 6 :P unfortunately thats one too many according to dad
(although in my opinion its too few ;) ), or is it a half to
many, as we did have 5 and a half mogs for a long time. so
anyway, the Landmog will be for sale soon.
Well, some more info on the new beast, i believe, is required.
What have we bought?
- U1100 416 141
- torque converter gear box
- roof of its absolutely screwed, doesnt matter anyway as we're
chopping that off.
- plenty of bits to swap onto the 406 145 ;)
- disk brakes
- '78 mog
- low hours (just over 2000) and low milage
Plans
- roof off, cage on
- Mount double drum verner on the back, allows balance and
recovery
- possible turbo
- lighter springs
- Spray it Unimog Club Uk colours (green and gray as mains, with
a few bits orange)
- then the usual, bucket seats, harnesses etc
Got it from Atkinson vos at a reasonable price with a seized
clutch, so collected it and took it to A.C. Price to sort that
out, myself and dad had engine out, clutch off and cleaned (rust
removed, hence why it was seized), and engine back in within 6
hours, got to be some kind of record that, got to say though
we've done it enough times :D so next is basically chop the
roof off and stick a cage in it, then we're thinking about
having some fun in it before putting the winch on :) havent got
any pics at the mo as it was a bit of a rush to get the clutch
done today and my phone went flat :/ job went well though :)

Nice one Brian. Is that the old thing that had the crane mounted
to it?
I can't believe you've gone out and bought another. Time to buy
your mum a tumble dryer perhaps? It must be a hell of a walk to
the washing line now?! :D

Yep, thats the one, bit of an ugly duckling, useless to most
people with the torque converter box, but its what we wanted for
the off roader. :)
Mums got a tumble dryer, dad always moans about it being used to
much, maybe it's cause of the long walk?????? ??? :D like I
say, we're getting rid of the landmog a g Wagen, and the imp.

Haha! Well didn't want to rush things, and I don't like starting
threads without pictures or progress :) and I'd say we have a
bit of experience when it comes to working on mogs :P
