- VinsilExplorerAlways wanted a mog.
Then I found Stevens and Stewart surplus M1079’s....and want one of these instead. Not on portals, but CAT powered, Allison auto, 46” tires, CTIS, and pretty reasonable price wise with easy parts available. Check them out, if you want cool over the top and throw a TC on one and hit the road! - gboppExplorer

For me the problem with a Unimog is it would be really fun for about 50 miles.
Probably but, you'd be the coolest person on the road for those 50 miles. :C - Grit_dogNavigator IIThose are ridiculously awesome. I could put up with a lot of nvh to have a unimog camper!

Not to mention fuel economy. If those 50 miles were over very rough terrain justifying the vehicle, then great. On the highway, not so much.
Get Brabus edition and you eliminate above problems but fuel economy. - BubtoofatExplorerBring a chain saw for those "low" branches. And watch those tight switchbacks.
