Fantastic effort Scotty! So glad to see a mog owner who knows what he's doing on a tough track. Great commentary and breakdown of what you could of done different also. Well done.
Unimogs were/are the favorite in the maintenace of rural/mountain electrical towers by Electrical companies. The mountain trails are narrow and steep with poor maintenance, I tried with a modern 4x4 and had a very hard time going up. Another time with a 1950's stock jeep, it went up put-puting whithout a problem the same trail
Mate these videos are getting better and better. Question though. With these beadlocked rims - and the weight of the truck - whats pressure do you normally run these at offroad and how low can you actually take them if needed?
Thanks mate. I run anything between 40-80psi on road, depending what I'm carrying. Off-road I find 18-25psi depending what I'm doing. I could go to zero but the tyres would just fold and flop around. I haven't really tested how low I could go effectively but I'd guess around 5psi would float me out of extreme soft situations.
I really appreciated the help. Yeah someone had to try it. So many mog owners had been wondering. I've got a couple mods underway and then I'll get back there at some point for another rip.
Bwah ha ha ha. Looks like the Jeep won. Nice try though unfortunate of the damage. You should use that truck for something positive. Hauling supplies to back country regions though snow, or jungles, or something.
Scotty collects large amounts of rubbish from the bush and disposes of it at his own expense. Old burnt out cars etc. He does this stuff on the side to demonstrate the ability of the most capable off-road truck in the world and to educate the community.
What's the width of a 1300? Plus it's depend what wheel/tyre setup was on it. 2300mm sidewall to sidewall would probably fit through ok. So a 1700 still on ADF wheels and tires would probably squeeze through. Mine's around 2480 sidewall to sidewall, so yeah nah.
@@TruBluOffroad oh those are some interesting numbers…. Mine is 2280 sidewall to sidewall and “only” 5550 bumper to bumper Tyres are 365/80/R20 XZL on stock 6 stud rim
I like the cars, especially the mog (drive those myself), but you should never ever carry live animals or people in the back while on a trail. What if you tip it over, or if the spare tire strap breaks or the tire shifts out from under it, that's 120kg projectile.
Thanks. I've carried many troops along many trails. He's probably as likely to get struck by lightning while at home walking out in the yard to pee on a tree. Animals and people are carried in vehicles on roads where they're more likely to have a head on with a bad, drunk or sleeping driver. The tyre is the spare for the trailer. About 20kg. Definitely won't brake the strap. But I appreciate the concern and glad you enjoyed the vid. More off-road action coming soon.

the dog knows the voice of the motor perfectly :)
very nice unimog Videos; thank you
Thanks. 👍
Patchy in the XJ, used to wheel with him back in the day.
He goes alright 👌

So cool 👌 would love a Unimog.
Come along to the UNIMOG Owners weekend at "The Springs" this weekend.
Now I know where all those scars came from..lol..
Yea she’s a bit big for little red cool to see you squeeze that thing through there
I really appreciated the help.
Yeah someone had to try it. So many mog owners had been wondering.
I've got a couple mods underway and then I'll get back there at some point for another rip.
What brand are those tyres and they are 14.00R20 right? They look like they can be beat on pretty hard.
Yep 1400/20 and yeah they take a beating and giggle.
Westlake tyres.
The dog at 1.58 isnt having much fun lol great video though
Still can't keep him from jumping in the truck every time I walk out the front door with the keys. 😂
@@TruBluOffroad my two dogs are exactly the same
That answers a Question I have been thinking on - Great Job mate. I'm sure it will all buff out !!! Hahhaha
Already all fixed up and mods in the making to go back and do it again. 🤪
Ouch mate ! Bloody good try though.
Yeah I mean, it got through. But was like a fat cat squeezing through a mouse hole. 😂

@@justincole8697 thanks
Not to mention, those jeeps are heavily modified, particularly their suspension, the Mog is stock apart from some tyres.
You reckon a U1300L would fit?

Yeah well it'd definitely squeeze through there much nicer than mine.
If you're keen we could tee up a day out there.
@@TruBluOffroad I’ll put it on the list before doing the paint job

Glad I didn't take mine through there after all. :)
Yeah I reckon lots of us have been curious about this for a while. Someone had to be the guinea pig.
poor dog
He loves it. The hard part is stopping him from getting on the truck when I need to go somewhere without him.
