We Found a Unimog Minivan Swap! And Put it to the Test!

What a sweet Mini-Monster.I think the Jag shell will remove most of the top heaviness,plus look way cooler.

I think building a custom cab over would be the way to go. Three bucket seats wide, right up front and sitting high. Then the back could be another flatbed hauler or could be swapped out.

I had a huge smile on my face watching you towing the BMW, but I have got to remind you lads that Unimogs are inherently dangerous. You need to think in terms of not falling through a side window when the Unimog rolls onto its side, so a proper roll cage (which will unfortunately make it even more top heavy) and four point harness. Probably best to accept that it won't go round corners fast. Several NZ Defense Force soldiers have been killed in Unimog accidents, and dozens injured. This is just in New Zealand! We love to see Ethan sending it, but we need him, and all of you, to stay safe.

Jag up the Vanimog, that sounds like a wonderful idea, continue the legacy of the off road Jag. Some of the coolest vehicles out there are basically sports cars made to climb almost anything off road :P

That is awesome! I was going to suggest to cut channels in the body to drop it lower on the frame until I saw the idea with the Jag. That is going to be sweet. The lower you can keep the center of gravity the better!

That little red Jeep pickup would sure look sick on the Unimog, just saying. I like the Jag idea too, can't wait!!

The Vanimog needs a rollbar. I'm thinking the frame will crush the poor little van body on a roll. lol

Yay save the jag that would be so cool. The jag also would be able to do off road stuff again. The legacy is too great to let die.

Ya know, seeing the shot of the axle under the van, someone could build a badass off-road rig by taking the front axles from a compact tractor. My Mahindra 2310 has portal axles and hydraulic steering on the front axle. With two of those axles you would have 4 wheel steering and portals for a small vehicle

I have one of the newer FLU419 unimogs. like the one the neighbor had who had raced you, except mine is still fully outfited with the backhoe and front loader. The things these trucks will do without tipping over is INSANE. Ive done things fully built jeeps wouldn't do. these trucks are so amazing.

What an awesome machine !! I would almost go with the VW bus since it has the same cab forward design as a unibog , probably be less fab work , but I know what ever y'all do will turn out awesome

There is no place a Mog can't go to. 😁 Drove these 404s in my Army days in the late eighties when they still were on active duty. They aren't the fastest but they can go literally everywhere. I can't wait to see what you guys will do with it.

So hilarious when they were being pulled.... steering the wheel at first like they could steer where they were going.🤣🤣

The one, and "only" mini van I would ever drive or be seen in. I look forward to the ensuing chaos!

I've noticed the progress on the GC coupe happening in the background of the videos. Saw it had paint in this video, nice work, who ever is working on that thing.

Man, I was cracking up when you were hauling the BMW shell all over the place. You guys have the best fun. Should have kept it for the fall fair and charged $25/ride LOL. Course the insurance would probably kill ya LOL.

When it comes to having fun you guys definitely know how to do it, and that thing is one hell of a find! Can’t wait to see what you do with it but I know it’ll be good Whatever it is ! great video guys!👍🏼🤩💪🏼

straight up livin the dream fellas!

I love the video quality you guys are coming up with now congratulations!
