    I saw this beauty Mercedes in Watson Lake, Yukon a few days ago, it was certainly turning a few heads!

    What takes you to that neck of the woods?

    These are from Truck Camper magazine Website newsletter. Custom flatbeds. You provide that camper and chassis. They provide the flatbed and boxes to perform fitment.
    First one is lift top.
    Second one, poor man's Earth Roamer.

    Dang, I could eliminate my daily driver and my tractor with that thing. I'm guessing interstate speeds are out of the question.

    my buddy has a few Unimogs. Highway speeds non issue.

    the scary part is the DEEP REDUCTION crawler modes you can get into. Speeds so slow you can get out, sit down drink a beer, by the time your done, the wheels have "maybe" done 1 full revolution

    buddy freaked me out one winter , we were crawling up an old FSR (logging road) in middle of winter in his Mog, all four massive tall tires had 3/4" logging skidded chains on them, and the snow on the road started getting to be about windshield height (6').



    he fiddled with a bunch of levers , grabbed a reeb , got out and sat on the roof of the mog.

    damn thing crawled so slow in deep reduction crawler gear, it went about 3' in 10 minutes. But it pushed thru the 6' snow
