Mate,

any photos??? As I like zer cherman autos viz: pinzgauer etc I finished up with a locally built VW "country buggy" super low gearing, 1835cc engine, locking diff etc BUT 2WD, however light enough to push out of bogs, bulldust holes etc at 1080KG fully fuelled.

I suppose your local VW is a "Thing" type 181/182.Is there much info on these and any recommendations for off road modifications/improvements in general?

Might a moderator open this up to general discussion/ new topic etc.

regards

K

An engineer acquaintance in Zambia had one or two unimogs set up as safari "cars". Looked like damned good vehicles for their hunting expeditions.

After fixing them for years now, I hate them!

They will go anywhere but over-engineered to the max! Could be waaay simpler.
