Thanks for the chassis tip on the 2450, I wasn't aware of that.

Mog type numbers aren't at all confusing to a newbie  ::)

I'm no longer Mogless!

I'm now the proud owner of an U1700L  ;D

Is she a 1750 it's difficult to tell from the pictures, if your looking to turn her into an Overlander it would  be better suited as a 50. I'm sure this Mog was at Newby hall last year. She will make an awsome overlander but a new set of xm47 will set you back a bit in that size  :)

Hi Moose,

1700 L so same difference (as far as I know)

Yes the tyres are worn & will be expensive to replace but I have budgeted for that.

Yeah that'll do! Nice truck! I really like the large square cab models but just don't have the space to home one. Those tyres are vast!

Hi Moose,

Yes the tyres are worn & will be expensive to replace but I have budgeted for that.
Interesting this one many years ago when I was drinking with some guys from the factory I remeber them telling me that the L actually meant it was an offroad chassis , I was a bit tipsy and meant to clarify this  the next morning but forgot, I hope to be back over there this month Martin ******* is retiring soon he's an amazing chap a really nice guy and I will miss his Unimog wisdom. I'll ask him if I remember. But interestingly the long wheelbase mogs are the best offroad and indeed Martin told me the factory considered the1550L the best offroad chassis ever built, my personal preference is the 1100l its more manuverable.
