 id be putting a post in this section everyday if i put every mog i spotted  ;D
the ugn isnt designed for ultimate offroad though, its designed as an implement carrier for road side work/councils/utility companies. if you are after a tough epic offroader then you go for a uhn. but the ugn is usually more than capable for what people want.  :)

 I just can't understand why they didn't make it a little tougher? If it could handle the same terrain as the old trucks and the new heavy range they'd be great, but they're like the old U90 etc - not quite what a Mog should be!

 Ha! theyre quite common with lift platforms on the back, used by a lot of utility companies  :)
it was probably one of the longer wheel bases with it being a lift platform.
the ugn's are more common than the uhn's as theyre used by the utilities and also are more comfortable.

Woo! First post in this section!

I spotted the first since joining the forum today. Not sure which model but it was a U300-500 type with a big cherry picker on the back.

The driver chuckled to himself as he obviously spotted the look on my face as he appeared on the roundabout. As always it was a bit of a drool moment - not looking where I was going and considering whether to follow it or not?! I decided not as I don't really like them much - although in the flesh it's considerably larger than I remembered since seeing the last one.

One day it will be one of the heavy trucks. I've not seen one U3000-5000 around here yet. ::)
