@maxx powell What's the name of the song at 10:18? Great vid man!
Yeeehaaaaa!!
Kinger
@@paulmater901 The song is named Kinger? Who is it by?
For me, a German, the way Americans see the Unimog is a huge compliment. I never saw the Unimog as I see it now. It is not just a tool. It is a fun truck.
There are oh so many accessories to increase the fun level. Like backhoes and outriggers front and back, them go four wheeling! One could scale a mountain. One german to another.
@@puzzled4163 Yeah but it seems this brainbox has removed the portal axles robbing the 'mog of ground clearance and power.
Dude!!! Great Video! Maybe we need to start borrowing weird 4x4s and taking them off-road more often lol. I can't wait to see the rest of our trip 🤘
Thanks for suggesting this page in your video.
one more thing....PORTALS ON A TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I second this idea Nate! That sounds like great content. I bet that was an awesome experience
It'd be good for clicks that's for sure!
Check your email if you want to drive one.
Im shown walking around in the beginning of this video. Did you know im the the one who brought the military 5 ton 6x6 out there? We could have had a tug of war!
Broken glass, oil, and trash on the trail? Man, I never want to be a part of this. Disappointing, all those people that travel in are going to get the whole place shut down for everyone.
Yeah that guy should've gotten his ass kicked for breaking his glass outwards and onto the trail. He should've pushed it inside so it would stay in his truck
Also drinking while 4WDing? That’s not safe.
Drinking while watching your buddies wheel is really the only way to do it. Mkay
Freaking disgusting isn't it! Wouldn't be hard for someone to clean up. They're all drinking and hanging around anyway!"
I am so sorry that this is the latest fad. Bunch of yahoos.
Unimog, the universal mobile Gerät, ie a tool. The wheels are more a necessity to allow it to get where its on-board generator, the engine, is needed to power virtually any kind of powered tool.
It's not comfortable, fast, or luxurious. But hell, it's gonna get wherever it needs to be. Eventually. Under its own power.
The only terrain a unimog gets stuck in is deep swamp which reaches the portal axles. Everything else is more or less a nuisance.
Greetz from a German in Hamburg.
UNiversal MOtoren Gerät
Absolutely love the colab with dirt life style
And with lightbright
I agree!
Three of my favorite channels and 2 of them are local to me!
Keep it up guys!
Great collaboration guys. These 406/416’s usually have lockers (I have one) the stick is drivers rear, 2w, 4w 4wlocked.
There is a solid chance we didn't know what we were doing with this thing lol
@@Maxx.Powell I had a feeling and wasn’t sure I should add my 2cents ;). Loving your channel. Keep up the great content.
@@overloadOverland the front looked locked and the back unlocked. (It comes to a rock and both fronts slipped at the same speed) Which is the end you need locked because it is front heavy :o) *best combo I found was locked front and open on the back with fiddle brakes. Super tight turns :D
That truck is awesome! Unimogs rock ! 😎👍
My favorite 3 channels together! Awesome! and great work on the run of 21st place for Lite Brite!
Fyi they finished 23rd according to ultra4racing website, bit none the less it was top 25 and that was dope!
The thing that makes Unimogs badass is that the axles are raised, so they sit above the center of the wheels, giving addition room below to pass obstacles.
Umm.. yeah . I heard those are called portals.
Geared hubs like on the humvee.
@@davidcerce not exactly. Few Hummers do but a UNIMOG has the Kryptonite style. Towing up to 1000tonnes with a mere 228bhp/ 664 ftlb torque. No hummer could dream of pulling a train. 2.2 mil #
A 530 Unimog can safely haul a Cat D11 and lowboy OTR day after day.
@@itsruf1
I was only talking about the geared hubs or what are called portals. The humvee and the unimog and maybe the g wagons have geared hubs.
@@davidcerce true portals limit road speed to 55-60 mph. All Unimogs always have but we're not made for highways or vacation. The we're some military hummers but you can't drive any version on road in 30 states. As far as gwagon those must be some gimic aftermarket for middle east guys. No Hollywood star 2would get in something with grinding hubs limited to slow speed. They'd never get anywhere in LA. You sound like a tuner kid
Fun times man...I never watched the KOH before, Tell LBN was racing....SO awesome to see them do so good...And seeing you and Nate there..
I always found Unimogs cool little all terrain trucks. This one doesn't need its throttle pedal, that thing crawls over everything slow and easy while idling. It's made to drag agricultural equipment, military use, in construction work and is also used a lot as hi-rail vehicle in Europe too, for maintenance of way and as an industrial switcher to move railcars. It can do this because it was designed to do, hence the great power on the wheels.
The SHOCK that used in RAM TRX🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here in 🇪🇺, all of the unimogs has locker, as standard 👍
I thought they had air lockers from the factory unless they were taken out and never put back in
Truck builder is what happened to it. Worked before he "modified" it for Bilstein.
Squeak: Only the power steering pump V-belt needs to be tensioned. Greetings from Germany.
It doesnt got powersteering 😂
@@bran170 does have power steering, all 416 Unimog came out with power steering. Go do your research.
Saw this amazing rig down at the Bilstein tent and couldn’t help but drool!!! So incredibly jealous y’all got to go for a ride
This is so much cheaper in 1/10th scale ! And I think perhaps just as much fun. Loving the truck. Viva Unimog
I actually didn’t know mogs could come without lockers, every one I’ve ever had has had front and rear lockers standard, and my current one even has the creeper gear, maybe it’s just the 416?
Nope U 416 has also Lockers front and rear. Maybe he didnt know that he had them or they were removed during the Modifikations
I have a 416 DOKA and he has the locker lever right there...
Tim Skeuse that’s what I thought, I don’t think they ever made a mog without lockers
Awesome!!
That thing is sick, so jelly!
Badass rig, feel like most unimogs come equipped with lockers?
They either weren't working or we didn't know how to get them engaged 😅
They do lol
I think it was the far left lever, pull up once to engage rear, twice for full engagement
@@Maxx.Powellif you dont know how to drive a unimog read the manual. Unimog is a workhorse for adults but not a fun toy for boys playing around. Go and get your f150.😊
I have always wanted a unimog they just look so freaking cool and they eat just about everything in front of them.
Awesome video man! Had a great vibe
It’s a Diesel... Nates love’n it ! 👍😃
This is the benefits of a purpose designed vehicle. Unimogs have portal axles with gears to lift the diff casing well above the centre of the wheel. They also have a chassis which will flex, as well as centre diff locks like most 4wds plus front and rear lockers. This means or four wheels will continue turning as opposed to losing traction if two lose grip as with a centre locker
When I was a kid, 50 years ago, had no idea what my brother and were doing was rock crawling. Had a 1960 corn-binder 4wd, 6 cylinders, tall skinny bias-plies, a high lift jack, 50 ft of chain, a shovel, and firewood for blocks…and NO ONE , or fences, for miles and miles. Encountered flash floods, crossed creeks too deep, stuck in several feet of snow and dug ourselves out many times, -15deg once. I look back and think how recklessness, it could have gone so wrong. I am fortunate to be alive. Wouldn’t trade those experiences that anything.
That thing is ridiculous but I love it!!!!!
That's a really sweet rig
in case you're wodering, that winch is not used for the unimog to pull itself. It's used to pull the horizon closer to the unimog
That would be more fun if every dingbat with open diffs on 33's wasn't in front of you.
😄😄 true. It was a traffic jam for sure
The German Unimog is the best working mashine. It never stop’s, always forward. This is a multitool for configuration specially works.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👌🏽
always forward? Na, you can go backwards in an Unimog as fast as you wish. Just pull the lever 🐌
Great content. What's the name of the last song?
pushing for this as well
Ridden in 3 different mogs. They all had lockers. Did not know they made one without. Great vid!
They all have lockers. Part of the design.
That thing is awesome!!!
Big tires and a Mog nothing more to need for though trails ha ha!
Unimogs are amazing. I've been driving a 435 special rescue fire truck version. BTW. Unimogs where not Mercedes in the beginning. Universal Motor Geraet for agricultural use, operating machinery and harvesting.
Are you from the U.S., and if so, are these street legal?
unimogs are so cool
DUI GATHERING!!!
Dirt Lifestyle Suggested your page and glad he did. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
No lockers! Amazing!
I love unimogs.
Cool. Looking forward to more videos from your KOH experience.
Centre Locker and Rear Torsen would make that UTTERLY unstoppable .
the Unimog did not have a center differential. But Front an rear locker.then why do you want middle lock and rear torsen?
@@mady383. Did you actually WATCH the Video ? They said it THREE TIMES . No Lockers .
Furthermore , with the Power-steering working poorly , if at all , it would be Un-steerable with a Front Locker engaged .
It's a 10,000 lb Truck . Locked Diffs Self Centre like a Mother - F'er . You do the " Math " .
I stand by what I said .
@@johncunningham4820only the latest Unimogs have a center differential. With a lock, of course.
But they ALL have locks at the front and rear.
and they can be switched on and off individually at any time.
So why do you think that the Unimog needs a locker for the center differential when it doesn't even have a center differential?
And why do you prefer torsen at the rear? I think diff lock ist better.
So the question is not whether the mog needs locks. But why this one doesn't have one.
Or maybe they just didn't use them?
And why don't these guys even tighten the V-belt so that the steering works again?
by the way. The Unimog does not have a 4-speed gearbox but a 6-speed gearbox.
1+2 the lever has to be pushed all the way to the left against a lock. If you don't know that, you won't find the gears. They are very slow. 4-6 are normal gears.
There is also a reduction gear, so you can drive extremely slowly.So not 8 but 12 gears.
They drive at least 3 low. Why.
And the power steering works. otherwise he could never steer like that. The V-belt only slips when things get hard. easy to repair.
Love the mog so awesome.
So sick 🤢👍🏽. Thanks for sharing
That is freaking cool!!!! Tell Kevin he looks like a grandma driving!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I felt like a grandma on that trail. It was so plugged
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 Woohhhooo!!! What up Kev!?! Yea it looked like L.A. rush hour traffic!!!! You guys did awesome!!!🤘🤘🤘
Bilstein is also a small town in Germany where shocks manufactured.
1:14 "Crap! There's three pedals!" The most American thing you will hear today (if you stop surfing now). *there are
That thing is sick
And here we can see the annual pilgrimage of 4x4's up the imposing trail that some refer to as...
the Turkey Claw
Last thing I want to hear from the guy that’s driving my sick unimog is wow there is 3 pedals lol
Lol right!?
Bravo.....wow....crawler ........mini drift truck.......1000hp......hmmm.......cheers
'really hard line that we don't think it can do without lockers...' What? They come stock with lockers. Unless someone isn't using the UniMog axles?
I'm not sure what the deal was with the lockers. I think the system needed work and they weren't working
Great video Max!
Unimog unbeatable
Why is it Litebrite anyway? :P Looks like an awesome time! Nice video!
Litebrite was an old nickname for Kevin's wife. She used it as her TH-cam user name without putting too much thought into it, because the account was used mostly just to share video with family. When the channel unexpectedly gained a lot of popularity, they ultimately decided to just keep the name.
@@RyanRKJ Thats cool, and probably a cool reminder of the nickname between the two of them. :P
Insane it crawled up that with no locker.
Ok Max... I'm upset with you and Nate. Lol. I was at KOH and didn't get to meet y'all. If you would have come back with Kevin to Tribe16 camp after the Unimog I could have met you two! Hope to see y'all next year!!
Imagine your 3rd gen Tacoma transforming from cross travel/overland build to a rock crawler! 🤙🏼
Thats the plan man! But I want to do all the work myself so im gana have to wait till my shop is built
Which is why many military’s used them...
Cool ! 👍😎
They buy that Unimog from Dennis?
Sup family! God bless everyone
Awesome video!!
Does it come with a dingy?
Every unimog has lockers...you can even see they are on in the video...pull the lever half way up 4wd pull it up all the way front and rear locked
When I lived in Germany a guy could pick a merc unimog very cheap. Im sure this rig is fairly built (still in the first minutes of the clip) unimogs, bw busses and vans, old BMW motorcycles could all be had at pennies on the dollar. For the most part Germans like the new, high tech stuff, old tech is cheap and easy to find. But im sure the forward thinkers in the states have scooped up most of the cool stuff.
I have the same steering box on my Unimog 404 and with a tiny MB100 steering pump. I can steer with 1 finger while not driving.
So the tires on the hauk unimog are to wide and the spacers also won't help hahah.
And it need an instruction plate what every handle do in the Unimog ;-)
Whats that song at the end?
this is GNARLY! haha
Dear Santa
Cool! I want one!
I do like Mogs.
In early 2000 in Cyprus a guy build a samurai with unimog axles and a 2.5v6 from a grand Vitara he won continues for 5 years . Unimogs are cool but 250k to beat just by 30 meters the record of a 10k samurai 😂😂😂
Germans make such great vehicles. Everything is so perfect and efficient. I had a mercedes for many years and it was my favourite car i ever had.... up til my hubby bought me a rangerover sport. So obviously i got rid of my Mercedes. 😅
América doesnt build badass machine like the UNIMOG
Tighten the V-belt from the hydraulik pump for steering!
I may have misunderstood, but all Unimogs have locking differentials.
That thing is like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight.
I think they were just not working. Its still a work in progress haha
@@Maxx.Powell That's probably what it was, the power steering wasn't working either, it didn't seem to hurt it much, that thing is a beast.
" The UNICLAW "
Nate sent me
is there a SHERP participating???
German qualitat 👍👍👍
2:28 smh better clean that shit up!
What's the song at 10:18?
Seth Chaps
It's almost definitely Weezer, but I can't think of the song title. Hope this helps.
Why is the power steering sounding like absolute shit in that sweet rig?
this thing has no lockers....
my mind... Hold my welder.
I know they use portals, but dang they look like toothpicks under there
Impressive, yes. But that $500,000+ Unimog didn't go anywhere that a 30+ year old 1st Generation Toyota 4 Runner didn't go first.
just get a pto steering pump extra in the system
Add a hydraulic cylinder to the steering and plumb it into the steering box.
What's the tyre specification and are they road legal
Pit Bull tire, I believe it is DOT approved
That thing has levers on the levers
what is this neumatic?
Kinda Slow for ya Kevin??🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Great job, but Where was Brit and Jelly?
So much traffic
Those tires and wheels probably cost as much as my house....
Now that's one fucked up Unimog
I always assumed that "Lite Brite" was supposed to be "Lit Brit" but got typo'd
Nice outfit. I'll stick to my rusty Lada Niva. Nobody will steal it
Kevin....and I'm fucking driving lmao
Hell ya I am!! It was awesome
I’d like to see how it fares against a sherp…
