Hi there,
New to the group, desperate wanting a Unimog! Tks for the add!
I've got a Jeep Cherokee XJ at the moment, and also into Harley-Davidson bikes, and just started applying for my HGV licence, so hopefully will have that in a couple of months time or so...
Then I can properly start looking for the Unimog.
I'm well confused about what model to go for... love the 404s, but a bit concerned about the power on the M180 but also have never driven one... just heard about it... I'm not planning any heavy off road, will use mainly to cruise around... proper toy... but wanna go for the 47 tyres with bed and cabin lift etc... also could consider a LPG kit... good or bad idea? Would be probably doing 50/50 onroad/offroad..
But also love the idea of a diesel 416 with disc brakes and power steering...
Would appreciate any input from you guys about both models pls... pros/cons... easy maintenance? Parts availability etc... I'm good with tools, can do pretty much anything on my cars/bikes....
many thanks!

It certainly makes life easier, and it can be used on a few chassis  If anyone wants me to make them one let me know, but it's not a bad job to do yourself if you have the tools

Hi Jon, Sounds like a 411 or 421 would probably be best for you, as you can get linkage for them. I am currently restoring a 411 for a customer at the moment, theres a couple of videos on facebook on it www.fisher.engineeringIf you have any questions feel free to ask Brian

Hi,
for sale is my 1967 lhd 404s which was converted to a camper by the previous owner - the radio box has been raised and built over cab.
I’ve owned it for 20 years but 17 years ago it was parked up........ It was lasted started approx 10 years ago!
Rust is taking over on the body work and at the moment it is not running, so I’m selling it as a restoration project.
If you wish to know more please mail me or call on 07879251813.
Cheers
Steve
Nearly forgot........ Its located in Rochford, Essex.

Hi everyone,
I’ve owned my 404s camper for about 20 years........But due to life getting in the way it’s spent the last 17 years standing - at my parents house!
It’s not in good shape anymore and it now needs to be gone. I’ll post in the for sale section.
Unless of course there is anyone in Essex who can pop round and put a new cab on/ remove the box/ get it going and drive it up to Norfolk for me........!!
Cheers
Steve

Also, WD40 is water based so will make the rust worse in the long run.... it's fine as a penetrating oil though to free up rusted nuts/bolts, just not long term.
