    Those look pretty sweet. I had my sights set on a Unimog, but these aren't too shabby.

    EDIT: I am talking stock Unimog btw.

    Ken, nice choice. Dual purpose, can commute with it on a daily basis. Go for it, I am sure the significant lady in your life will be most understanding and supportive

    If you wanted to start more modestly, as a do it yourself project, this might help

    Here a cost effective alternative that I have mentioned before (still have not gotten the idea approved by the "boss"). A bobbed deuce.

I would get one in a minute if it had the 4 wheel drive.
    Add some ground clearance and enough grunt to haul a boat and I would agree.

    I like the interior, and I like the 4x4 camper concept, but what about center of gravity with that thing being so tall and going off road Im kinda thinking it would tip over pretty easy if ya started climping things.
    I Wonder Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink what ever comes out?"

    Yeah I saw that Ken and that's why I added "stock unimog" to my post. Should have put standard unimog, but oh well. The unimog chasis is very customizable it seems.


    Unimogs are neat:

    No offense taken.
    It's a 1,500sq.ft house built high on the rock on the island of
    Santorini (Greece). Practically bullet-proof, with another 50+ acres of fertile ground around it. And there's more, of course.
