Default Hmmm...possible tow vehicle for me?

Found an ad in the paer for a Unimog 404 flatbed for sale for $5500

Which would look similiar to this one:

diesel motor, 4wd, 1.5 ton chassis, lockers front and rear etc.

But in the same ad he also had a Mog M561 Gamma Goat amphibious for sale for $6,000.

Looks like this:



Same engine and basic setup but in a 6x6 configuration although I am not sure they ae street legal.....hmmmmmmmmm

the only way the mog m561 would be street legal, is if you remove the treads and put tires where the wheels that turn the treads are located.

nah its not a track based vehicle it is a 6x6 but the only site I could find an image of it on keeps blocking the image.

I will update with an image of one in a minute...still searching for one.

Smells like you're building a militia.

I already have enough guns so I suppose if you want to look at it that way I kinda am....but not really.

I need a tow rig for my Jeep and since this is fairly inexpensive and has a huge tow capacity it seems a logical choice

I never buy leather because it annoys me and is a sign of a pretentious and egomaniacal person.
