Aren't the Lockers on the Unimog 406 series selectable? That is you can turn them on and off? I've driven a Civilian Series Unimog from the 1970's and it had a dial that you turned on to put air pressure to the unimogs' air lockers.
Lockers do reduce turning radius- however, the lockers I...

There is no skill level in developing traction-- you either have it or you don't. Now matter the skill level if your vehicle is canted too much or with axles off the ground open differentials will level you stuck. The harder the terrain the greater the need for traction.
If you actually...
You just cut and pasted the Wikipedia entry about Eudaimonia... I didn't really see the humor in it. I was originally going to call myself Rolling_Eudaimonia_Machine but I think it was too long. The idea was that my welling being in some part is derived by the operating of my big fool truck...
Well true: when the all the differentials are all locked up (all three of them) it will be hard to turn. However, I will be setting it up as two separate circuits. Circuit A will be the front differential. Circuit B will be the rear tandems. So I will be able to select either front only, rear...
GImpyrobb-- there is no argument-- your premises are wrong, you conclusions are false and arguments you guys put forth are invalid. The video of you trying to climb a simple hill is priceless proof the basic design flaws of the M35A2 that my new ARB's will correct nicely... So calling people...
Where is the canal in Cape Cod??? I've not been to Cape Cod in 12 years I don't remember Canals out to the tip. But yeah a Canal would make it an island.
Cape Cod is not an Island... Martha's Vineyard is an Island... So I'm not sure why Martha's Vineyard is in parenthesizes next to Cape Cod. I'm also not sure why you have written "the cape cod" in the perfect participle... But those are just minor things I find curious. I'm not that fond of...
I've got them... I've got one in my garage right now-- two more come tomorrow via UPS. All I need now are the A3 Axles and CTIS system. I'll post videos. However, don't you think what really needs to be done is well a demonstration in reality?
I was happy just writing about my plans for...
The question wasn't really rhetorical in nature, it was just a question of disbelief. Because essentially the M35 Series trucks were designed to operate in a wide variety of conditions and environments. After all front lines are often not always found in city streets or suburban areas. Many...
The only thing stopping me is money-- This year I had a lot to spare so I purchased the ARB Air Lockers. I've also turned up the fuel pump. I need to get the new injectors and have them tuned and balanced along with the Injector Pump.... I haven't done any of this stuff. And those videos I've...
If you read the original post it starts of with me saying what I think the truck needs to be "hot rodded". I would still like many of those features but feel that the modifications to the design would be too costly. For example I'm pretty sure an Oshkosh 55000 series Transfer case as cool as...
Will it ever pay itself off? Probably not. So is it practical as an investment. I would say no. It is however, fun, and that is why I want it. After all I'm hot rodding the beast. Hot Rods are never practical investments. Plus, I would really like to go to South America and try my luck out in...
I have only one of my three right now... So I'm waiting for the complete set( Thursday they arrive)... And good M35A3 to go up for sale-- Remember I've got to have my CTIS... I'm a patient man-- I waited this long for the lockers a few more months for the CTIS System won't matter to me.
I'm...
