When I was about 4 yr old in the mid-70s, I kept wearing out my plastic toy mowers following around my dad when he was doing the real thing. So, my dad made a more durable model for me:Yeah, don’t see it lasting too much longer after all the helicoptering he was doing to it today!
Aren't those things by themselves around 8000lbs, plus the weight of the trailer?Picked up a Unimog 240 miles away through the Shenandoah mtns. Fun day.
That is freaking cool!!! I always wanted a Unimog.Picked up a Unimog 240 miles away through the Shenandoah mtns. Fun day.
It is pretty cool, the ground clearance on it with 40" tires and portal axles is insane. It has 2 granny gears and 4 regular for 6 total forward along with 2 reverse gears, and lockers. The guy we got it from said he took it off road a few times but it was no fun because you couldn't get it stuck without putting it in a situation it'd flip over. You'd have to find some deep mud or huge rocks, but that's essentially what they were made for. I think this one was a forestry fire truck, it has an exhaust driven pump for pulling up to a stream or pond and pumping water in, though no longer has any of the rest of the equipment.
That thing is a beast!! That's pretty cool having that pump on it.
¿What happened to your front license plate? Winch mod or something else you don’t want to talk about?
It flips up to use the winch, but it took a beating last time I went off road. The bumpers are pretty solid but the license plate not so much.¿What happened to your front license plate? Winch mod or something else you don’t want to talk about?
Love your whole setup! Especially your bumper. What kind of bumper & winch do you have?Has been a nice couple days here and my son really wanted to play with his power wheels Jeep but it was a mess from sitting for so long with no cover. So we took it to the car wash to spray it out!

Funny my next thread I read was the bumper thread where you just posted. Thanks looks good sorry it was a PIA to install!
Man I wish I could find some snow for my JT to play in, unfortunately I don't think I'm going to in southeast NCGood ole West Texas, 70 one day and 8" of snow the next.
But still had to go to the office, so I had an excuse to drive the Gladiator to work.
