Yes way, not sure if any of youll have seen this truck, but its awesome.







4.0, 5 spd, stock t-case, Mercedes Unimog 404 axles with air actuated lockers and 7:56 gears on a custom 3 link and coil suspension front and rear with 15" travel shock all around. The tires are Continental 12.5 X 20 on stock 20" mog rims

 

Killer!!

 

speechless..*jawdrops*

beast of a rig there...

arnt those called portal axles sometimes or referred to them like that?

 

badass i want one!

 

i will take 2

 

holy flexing!!!! thats some mad tire rubbage too!! jeeze i can see the fender getting ripped off like its nothing.

 

that thing is sweet, but m not too keen on the tires
whats teh engine?

 

I've seen that truck before... it's a monster for sure!

Portals are a little different than mog axles. The portals have a gear reduction box at each hub as well as gear reduction in the differential, giving you extra low gearing and also putting the wheel hubs a few inches below the axle tube, giving you better ground clearance underneath the axle.

Actually, on second look, those might be portal axles... I can't quite tell.

 

they look like em to me too

 

WHY!!!!! the Mog is one of the coolest trucks ever and to bastardize it like that

 

He used to be a regular on TRS maybe 2-3 years ago, haven't seen anything new, not like his truck needs it

 

yup.. went by renegade logger

 

sweeeeeeeet!!

 

yea, i just found the pics again so i thought i would post them

 

Awesome! I'll take one!

 

Unimog axles are portals. The 7.56 ratio is a combination of a 4 something pig and 1.5+something reduction gears. I used to have all this crap memorized. I guess I really am getting old (and I'm only 27!) Gee, my memory is going, going, gone...

 

The clearance is amazing under those axels! Sweet Ranger for sure!

 

Stazworks has a killer ranger on custom fabricated high pinion hybrid portals. 9" chunk flipped to make a high pinion, fabricated housing, arb air lockers, fabricated knuckles, with hummer portal ends mounted and functional ctis system. They sell the axles but they are nearly 5 grand a kick EEEK!

 

There it is!

 

*DROOL* those are beyond sweet. And I thought my 8.8 31 spline was impressive. 5 grand an axle is a tad bit out of my price range these days, but maybe if I hit the lottery I could get those (and some of those MatTracks while I'm dreaming...Oh and while I'm wishing for things could someone drop off a M1A1 Abrams?)

 

Duuude! That sweet!

 

that is really awesome right there. now i wonder how many hours it took to build that truck

 

Wicked awesome. Those tires should be right at 41's, I think.
