The first Mog I ever experienced is for sale!
« on: June 17, 2013, 09:54:30 pm »
You know some days I really wish I had a little more money to spare. The black U1000 that I went off roading in some time ago has just appeared for sale - 15 miles from my house! Knowing the history of the truck is a big bonus, but it's a lot of money - £14k to be precise.

The mrs will never allow it! Although at a push...

The tyres on it do look a bit small, I'm not sure what profile they are? And the bull bar - glad I'm not the only one who's not keen!

As you say the winch is a good one. The condition of the cab is pretty impressive for it's age too. What would you make of getting 170hp from a 352 engine though? Good idea or not?

yeah, dad says they look like 14.5's.

number one bull bars are illegal, unless they are made so they fold down flat, then they can be classed as load space, at least thats what a guy we know does anyway. ???
number two, theyre ugly  :-\ on any truck

Dad also says its been done before, to get 170 bhp out of a 1000. the black mogs got 160 bhp and thats an om352, we could throw more fuel down it throat but we're not bothered, the black mogs also naturally aspirated. its also got awesome torque figures  8)

the winch is a werner, which is always good, the f64 is only really suitable for self recovery though in theory, as it has no reverse, so if youre pulling a tree down and it gets to the point where it cant pull any more and locks out, you have to take the cover off the front and use a spanner.

Was it a lot of work to get 160 from your U900? Many expensive parts involved?
