UPDATE: I have to apologize, I'm a Quality Assurance Tester by trade and one thing I always say is one issue per entry and here I have like 30 things in one thread. Geesh. As a few months have passed, I thought I would provide some updates to anyone crazy enough to read this far in in case they...

Today I got a package on my door step with a complete Air Filter set from Scott at Expedition Imports! Will be putting that in this week or weekend. Can anyone tell me the size of the screws needed for mounting it to the air intake vent on the right side of the engine compartment? Any tips or...

Hey Swiss, I have since printed out your post and stuck it on my wall and have setup my agenda to do just this. Many other folks I talk to around town who are interested in the only Unimog in town all asked the exact same list of priorities you said and almost in the same order! I realized...

Yep. I'm finding a lot of information on this and other forums. That'd be a great idea, but that's called a Wiki isn't it? :mrgreen:

That's great to (hear) I mean read! I'm almost there (I think). In the workshop manual I spied a page for checking the truck after it's been "layed up" for a while. Page 00-1 - Checking and Adjusting Engine, 12 Steps to making sure things are running fine. Going through that list as best as I...

The saga continues.... Insurance State Farm told me they needed to insure my Mog as a commercial vehicle at $240 a mo. Louisiana is an at fault state (Napoleonic Code, no precedent here) so everything is double! They told me if I had not been a customer for 15 years they would not have been...

You have all been very patient and gracious with me. Thank you for all the great info. I noticed many folks on here have been working on cars since they were a kid, not me. My son is 8 and I want him to grow up knowing how to work on his own cars / trucks so he'll be helping me with some of...

This Topic is TL - DR material. Please read if you're able to assist with a new Mog owner who is probably in over his head. ;-) This is all still new to me so please go easy on me. As I am not a formally trained mechanic, I need to dive in deep here. I just ordered a bunch of spare parts from...
