sounds like theres loads of mogs on the road  :) ;D

you just have to make sure you have a big enough bumper to push the cars out of the way! :) lol its worse when you have a mog, chipper and crane on! people have no idea what its is so overtake and slow down to see the bonnet badge!!

Looks like a tidy bus :) i've attached a picture of what im trying to explain, this shows just one method of isometric mounting, it can go down to just three mounts, which is how single cabs are usually mounted. original crew cab u900 406/416's use 5 mounts and arent iso mounted, they are often converted to the method in the drawing ive attached. :)

Hope this helps

Should put the Disco to shame off road too. ;D

Hi Keith,
If you copy the image code from photobucket they should show?
Also, the cage does look strong, but is it isometrically mounted, so that the chassis can flex and you can get full articulation out of it.
And that was a reasonable price :)

not me drivin it was a picture I got of the net from his advertisement
only got it last sat but it is up and running now but need a front cross member fabricating before I drive it as that was the only piece he couldn't find
he ripped it apart after drowning it and bending a con rod then it sat for 9 months in his yard before I got it but everything else was there not to much work steel and a welder I would put some more piccys on but it wont let me so here is a link to them

and as for the engine I allways wanted a mog so that didn't put my off I paid 3450 he wanted 3200 for the mog and he had an engine for sale at 250 so I got that in aswell

took delivery of it on Saturday at 2.30 had the engine by sat night had it running sunday lol wasn't waitin around
its got power steering a 2.8 Iveco turbo diesil 12.5 x 20 tractor tyres its clean when you look around it but it dose have a small leak on the box nothing major
came with a 1700 lb winch to
only thing to do now is breaks need bleeding up and brake lights then she will go for an mot everything else already works
and it was on ebay so think a few of you lot may have seen it

Hi and welcome,

I saw that Mog on eBay and considered it before I bought my 404.  What are you planning to do about the engine?

Hi Keith, welcoem to Unimog Club UK.

Looks like a good base to start with :) i think ive seen this mog on youtube and google a couple of times in the past i think?
The only thing i would ask is how is the cage and double cab mounted?
