November 25th, 2011. NOW that we are all blowing turkey fumes after yesterday, I have hit on an odd idea in regards to Unimogs. Did you ever notice the decal of the little "Calvin" dude from Calvin and Hobbes whizzing on an auto maker's insignia, usually Chevy, Ford or more rarely Dodge? It...

November 14th, 2011. Gentlemen: Before we wax too lyrical in the praise of good old British know how, look up the Historical Unimog films that Spicergear has posted elsewhere here in the Unimog forum. I doubt if you will catch any LR product moving either a 200 to 375 ton hot steel bottle...

November 12th, 2011 Spicergear: Looks like our friend up above is suffering Unimog envy. He cuts down the S404.114s without realizing that the S's were to the UHN's what the Model "A" is to all other Fords since then, the grandparent. My S will do pretty much everything the UHN will, except...

November 11th, 2011. Boys, I really enjoyed that one of the Mog trying to get up the bank.... Did any of our anti-Mog folks figure out yet that: 1) You don't go up a bank backward in an unladen Mog?; 2) You don't try to back up a bank in an unladen Mog with R4 agricultural tires when the...

November 11th, 2011. Since I don't necessarily have a cat in this fight, perhaps a little tail twisting is in order. I would beg to point out that a Unimog S404.114 was rated at a gross weight of 11,000LBS with load, and can pull up to 21,000 on a four wheel trailer...not fast, but it will...

October 31st, 2011. Tennmogger: Your thoughts about cooking the tranny have merit, but I will say that properly topped up my S404.114 went about 750 miles in 3 days last year on the Interstates in 103-104*F heat. The trick was to make sure she was topped up, and I held between 45-49 MPH...

October 25th, 2011. I do miss my deuce and a half, which is stored in Texas, BUT when you think that an S404.114 can carry almost the same payload, get into and out of places a deuce never could. One guy up above here said his landrover could get there faster then a Unimog, I will only...

September 15th, 2011. I will admit that the 404.114 is a nasty little beast to get at the engine and transmission for major work, but remember among the Unimog's it is equivalent to the Model A Ford's, the earlier Unimog's were harder to get to some items to repair. When you compare a Unimog...

September 14, 2011. Just based on having driven a bunch of military vehicles from the Korean War on.... I'd say the S404.114 Unimogs in their cabs are about as heavy as a US M37 and most M35A2's, given that they are a 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 ton truck. The S404's are like Model A's, easy to...
