Ultimate Adventure Unimog U1300L

[Oldmopars]

Last year for the Vannonball Run build-off I did what I called the Ultimate Adventure G30 4X4 van. It is a high top 4x4 conversion of the AMT Rescue van. See here: 

 

This year I decided that I wanted to continue and maybe make a series of "Ultimate Adventure" trucks. I am into Overlanding and this is up my alley. This year I will be doing a conversion of the Unimog Fire truck into a Overland Camper like the one pictured below. I may try to convert it to a 4 door if I get another cab to work with. I think I will be doing a box slightly larger than the one in the picture and add a few things to make it mine, but this gives the direction I am going.

Awesome. One of my automotive goals is to build me an overlander. Won't be a Unimog though.

Thought your van was great. Thoroughly expecting this to be better!

I am working on building one of these. Its called a Thor, and is similar to a Sherp. This isn't mine just one of the pictures I am using to build it.

This is neat!!!  I just started my first truck kit, the Unimog Schlingmann RW-1.  But I am keeping it relatively simple and just doing a rescue/equipment vehicle.  I saw the below and was interested, but thought it too challenging for a first going.  Will watch this with great interest.

I have been working on this a bit more and I now have a partial second kit to work with and a 3rd partial if needed. I cut the cab apart and added the section from the second kit and I have also added to the frame to get the length right. This has been a challenge as the cabs have opening doors, so keeping everything straight and true has been tough.
