Ok. My new Dream vehicle!
Roads, who needs stinking roads. I would feel Bad Ass in that monster
Amazing machine! It looks awkward and top heavy, but it never tipped, no matter the terrain. Amazing!
Sick! Unimog is basically the pinnacle of mobile living platforms.
Congratulations! 🎉 You both look so happy that it's easy to be super excited right along with you. Can't wait for the build series. ❤ -Troy & Aimee
I just have to add, y’all are amazing storytellers because by the time the Mog was being delivered I was bouncing in my seat excited! 😂❤
I am sooooo excited!!! Since finding you 2 you have become by far my favorite builders and creators! The builds so far were so AMAZING!! Ican not wait to see what you do with this Unimog!! Im sure as usual with you it will be epic, beautiful, practical and overall freaking awesome!!! CANT WAIT!!! Thanks for sharing and frankly for blowing my mind guys!! AWESOME!!
There are no words for how excited I am for this build series!!!! 🎉
And here I thought I knew what you were getting lol ... I was SO wrong! hahaha
The Unimog is amazing!
Thank you!! 🥰
I would LOVE to watch you guys do a comparison of the Unimog to your Unicell build 🙂
Ah ha, I guessed right this summer. I remembered this was your dream. Congrads you guys... so excited for ya!
So pumped to see another 4x4 camper build starting!!! Now we have to step up our build to be able to meet up with y’all off the beaten path!!!
Wow, that truck is sick. I couldn't imagine driving that big monster, but it has to be a lot of fun driving tall above all other cars to see the road. Good luck with your purchase.
WOW!!! can't wait to watch this build.
MOG Dogs! Cool!😂
So awesome guys congratulations
I wondered what you guys were up to. Congrats.
What a good decision to have the box done in England
I was smiling and cheering for you during this video. I'm so happy for you both. I am looking forward to seeing the layout and build. Congratulations!🎉 😅❤🎉
Champaign pop at 30 min mark was AWESOME!!! You 2 are adorable and I cant wait for the build videos!! @31 min Welcome to your UNIBODE !! Humble UNI-BODE!! Is that right? instead of our Humble Abode?? lol
😊 cannot wait to see what a great job you are going to do...Good luck. UK here so pleased Atkinson did you proud 👏
Hey Y'all. Wow. UR Overlanders! This will be fun to watch!
SOOO excited for this build! Very very cool guys!
Boops for Mateo and Pablo 🥰🐾
😎✌️🐾
This is amazing! I did not see this coming. Congrats!!! I'm looking forward to the series for sure.
Congratulations 🎉🚚🚑
Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see the build.
Hahaha I love it. Can’t wait to see this one!
My best congratulations on your purchase. We can understand the joy you have now. Our vehicle is a Steyr 12M18, which plays in the same weight class. Driving it off-road is endless fun. I am already curious about your next progress steps.
What a beauty! 🚍 It is Drew's spirit as a vehicle-home. So happy for you guys! 🤩
The camo paint is fantastic.
I'm excited for you guys. Can't wait to watch the transformation of your new home 🎉🎉🥂❤
congrats!! This is so exciting, what a badass rig!
Very cool guys !
Totally Rad!! Oh man I can not wait for this one. Congratulations guys
Wow. Stoked for you guys. Your build in the shuttle bus is one the best I've seen. Now you will be able to go to very best locations.
Hope your knees are in good shape!! A Tee shirt with both dogs on it and the title Mog Dogs would be perfect!! Uhhh.. little FYI…that is not the way to open champagne! Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾!!!
Yay 🍾 Really looking forward to a build. 💯💪👍
Sooooo excited for you guys!!! Congratulations 🥳 I’ve followed all your build series and can’t wait to see this one! Safe travels!
I’m so excited for you two!! Look forward to this build and adventures.
This should be interesting 👏👏👏👏👍
Great machine, Good luck and happy mogging. Hope the mog dogs enjoy the new home
I can’t believe I haven’t seen your channel yet. Late congrats, I look forward to catching up on the build. And really good decision getting that box tank and batt box done at AV. You saved yourself a ton of time money and headache.
Hey thanks so much! A Unimog was always our dream so we're beyond thrilled that we finally got our hands on one. AV did a fantastic job on our truck. We had them do a few key upgrades but they also went through the truck and replaced a lot of old or worn seals, hoses, belts, and parts. So far that has been invaluable! We should get our mogs together sometime!
Nice, that is a good moment I can related to, we waited almost 2 years to get our MB 1120 AF back, we had a little more done of course (painting and tool boxes). AV really know their stuff when it come to building subframes on MB trucks! So this was a really good decision in my eyes. It will also help when/if it comes time to sell it.
BTW, the switch if for the diffs, all Mogs have permanent 4 wheel drive connected with about a 60-40 distribution unless the central diff is locked.
Congratulations!!!! That is so awesome of a platform to start with. I can't wait to see how you two configure the build.
Your excitement is contagious! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Congrats, was just waiting to see what your next build would be! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers you guys,all enjoyment from now on ❤
Delighted to see your video and so early into the build… I shall follow the process, highs n lows. Most of all we can all follow and enjoy your journeys. Let me know if you are going down the patron, gladly sign up.
Thanks for watching! We have a Patreon where you can watch episodes 24hrs in advance. We also have some fun Patreon exclusive content planned for this build as well 😋 www.patreon.com/ourwaytoroam
Great looking Unimog, these little trucks are off-road monsters! Next year trail riding in Utah? 😄😁😂
@ourwaytoroam watching this video was so amazing i almost cried. I went through a lot of what you guys did, moving out of an RV into an expedition vehicle I am making on an M35A2. It’s my first truck and I felt all those emotions picking it up and learning about it in these past months! I’m on my way to pickup my composite panels next week, good luck to you two ✌🏽
Sooooo excited for you and so excited to see your build !!! Can’t wait please do longer videos 🫶🏻🥰🥰
OMG, you guys are pretty switched on with builds, so this will be really exciting.
Only thing thats a challenge will be climbing in and out all the time.
Youll find muscles you didnt know you had.
Looking forward to this, there a British couple with a mog home called dolly on youtube. 👍
Awesome 💯
Sooooo exciting!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Oh the places you’ll roam!! ❤❤
Off road life is better than van life, world becomes your ouster, I do it on a much smaller scale in my self built Land Rover, epic adventure
Very nice!!! I’d dig having a rig like yours!! I love camping and hunting; who needs a tent if that baby is dialed in. Best to you guys!! I subscribed too!
I knew you were getting something from overseas just by the way you were talking and and your facial expressions
Can I ask how much it cost to get it shipped from VOS?
Gonna get some attention in that thing.
Congrats!
I’ve subscribed just to see your gorgeous dog .
You guys can now do the Trans American trail from NY to WA, no highways or interstates. Oh wait that’s my dream. 😮 congratulations to all four of you!! Yay 🎉
This has actually been a big dream of ours as well!
Ummm, no. It will not fit on the TAT.
Atkinson Vos built our box and subframe too, on our Fuso.👍
You two are such a cute couple! Happy to see you both having a great time (albeit challenging).
I thought you were going to buy the red and white one. I guess that was for practice maybe.
Whoa!!
😉
😊....good times.
11:14 😂
5:08 you are listening to HP Hommes, his Mog is called Ubelix….
I love you both ❤❤
In the mid 80s, when I was in HS, graduated in 87, everyone could drive a stick. Now, it's hard to find anyone under 30 who can drive a stick.
Looking great!! Congrats 🎉 How long is the box?
What do y'all do with the vehicles y'all have built in the passed? Keep them? Sell them?
I love watching your videos alot.
Nice mog 🤤
I think you should name it Mogi😅
Amazing video - can you share where you bought the MOG :)?
How do y'all find parts and mechanics for the unimog? Is the top speed 70mph or is there a way to achieve that? Thanks! Great channel!
Just wait when you try to go up a steep grade and have to stop and start again that's going to be a learning curve
I live in a 32 ft fifth wheel with two slide outs but I do not travel since I don't have any way to pull it mobile home RV Park have lived in RVs for probably close to 20 years this is the third one from where I'm at now I have a big good size yard they let me in close it with a wire fencing that actually can be removed and rolled up I laid down grass I'm on my own yard I have flowers everywhere I wasn't supposed to plan any trees but by accident what I thought was supposed to be a peony bush but I guess it died out and I ended up with the tree I don't know how that happened but I thought I was going to get a bus and I have this big huge tree that's taller than my fifth wheel now the only thing I don't like is the fact that I'm in Idaho. I'm about 25 miles from Boise. It wasn't a really big town but in the last couple of years all around me is just developing I did have a lot of Farmland across the street there was a big pasture with horses in it now that's gone and it's Apartments so it's kind of a bummer businesses are moving in all around me but right now it's the cheapest place to live and I am able to do what I want because it's not a regular RV park which they have too many restrictions the rules here because it does still have a few mobile homes in it the rules are like if I had a mobile home. I do have seven cats my oldest one is going on 17 years old recently something developed around the inside of her eye around her eyeballs so we ended up having to remove her eye so she's just getting used to it now for my cats have never been to a vet I've been very lucky with them and they're like 9 years old I had their mother so that means I had them she was a stray and lived outside I couldn't catch her took me a couple years to catcher finally.
Hi all, I am a new subscriber and I am looking into buying either one of these Unimog's or going another type of overland vehicle route full -time. I do not have tons of money but I am very interested & would love to know what was the final cost of the Unimog ( if you don't mind) including the box & shipping since I am on the east coast of the US. I appreciate it very much this would help me greatly understand if I could afford one of these. I just like & subscribed as I look forward to watching your Journeys and hopefully one day soon you will be watching mine as well. GOD Bless & love the channel.
P.S. I dont know if you mentioned it in this video but I appreciate it.I understand the price varies on the unimog (depending where you buy (auctions etc) but I like the thickness of the walls &* the box in general is really nicely made. I amseriously considering one of these ? Also, how is the Gas milage? Is it around 10 mpg? I sincerely thank you for the response.
I like you two. Subd
Amazing.. Guys, does it have Airbrakes? Do we need special driver license in the States or Canada for this vehicle?
how much did yall pay for shipping??
Im soo curious what they sold the unicell for
… interesting! How does it compare with the cyber truck?
LOL
Slow is fast, fast is slow, you both will see more of the world at that pace 😂😂😂
Hi guys, what are the dimensions of the camper ?
😃❤️👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
How tall is drew
6’2”
The Unimog , the ultimate 4x4 off-road... yep.... Camper.... I hope that is open for discusion... :-) and it seems.... I had one with a staircase on the under part of an electric door , I slept above the cabin, so the living unit tilted backwords to let the tilting cabin pass and to be not too high, the roof above the bed moved electricly 25 cm up. a sandwich construction box with a one layer, one piece polyester/glassfiber so, no plates fixed togheter, For me, it was not specialy enough to put it on CZcams. And I had no young, good looking woman for the clicks... :-) Now I have an other box on it and drive on recycled biodiesel... looks stealth now...
I have nothing that I did'n build myself or can repair myself on terrain there are no garages and work shops . And a Unimog is reaseneble easy to repair ....
Needs a bigger steering wheel.
How many gallons per mile? Not miles per gallon,
About 20 l/100 km, please do the math yourselves.
Ever seen, not see.
Sorry the name of the Aussies is The Outfit
Another Mog gone to waste
I swear people can't read.. it's a uni-mog not a una-mog you guys can't even pronounce it correctly and it's not even hard . Cringe
