This is awesome

I saw this on my way home from work, it was only a few blocks from my house. At first it looked like a garbage truck, but then I saw it closer, It had a mercedez benz logo on the front grill, that thing is Bad ass! What is it?
Looks like it could be easily rolled, lol

Check out the tires on that thing!

that, i believe, would be a unimog. from what i hear they can handle about a 45* side slope before they get tippy. they are pretty cool trucks, they've got hydraulics and pto's. they can run mowers and cranes and logging saws etc etc. kinda looks like that one isnt working to its potential lol. i have even seen ones that have a steering and pedal set that can slide from one seat to the other so it can be LHD or RHD on demand. (arguing with the wife 'here, you drive!')

Yep, Unimog.

Also dig the portal axles

Likely a diesel too.

You can have similar coolness in a Pinzgauer for less $$$

The coolest thing was their SEVEN cylinder inline diesel engine.

The seventh cylinder was to provide compressed air!
That's so slick it's downright EVIL

That is a good looking Unimog, I only wish I could afford one. Check out this video of what those things can do, very impressive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VmwbdDqQJ4

talk to white rhino, he had a set of mog axles that would get you started in the right direction.

These are Kamaz's but I have seen similar video of Mog's like it. I am a big fan or the Paris to Dakar and love to watch truck video.
