That is Rob Pickering from Colorado. He hasn't had that mog for a few years now. I think the video is from 2001. The mog was for sale as of last November by some guy in Texas. http://www.unimog.net/exchange/index.php?do=del&id=20061113152544&page=3

That's his name.
The timing is right too. I camped with a bunch of Unimog guys at Slickrock for a few years. The Kai Serrano cow 406 and a bunch of others.
As I remember, Rob was doing a Mog engine mod parts business?

Yeah, that's a giant open-pit crane or something. I've seen similar before, and kind of recognized it. Germany is full of crazy machinery. I think they had the largest digger thing too, big wheel like 50' tall or something, for digging into coal beds.

They should be stopped immediately, before the Fourth Reich gets a chance to sieze Europe.

You mean this?

Anyone remember that volvo suv/soccer mom wagon that one of the mags put volvo portals on? It was pretty hardcore, in a grocery getter kinda way.

I saw that at SEMA in 2005. Sweet ride for sure.

 

[allterrain]

I sure do. It was a V70 wagon if I remember correctly. Built for Dakar I think.

Yes, Rob has a Unimog business over in La Junta, Colorado. Lately he has been involved in demoing and selling the new mogs for Freightliner also. He also took over the KillerAxles.com stuff a while back.

Don't know what years you were at Slickrock the mog guys, but I've probably seen you before. I've been there every year with the mogs since 99. I drive a yellow doka (four-door).
