@maxx powell What's the name of the song at 10:18? Great vid man!
Yeeehaaaaa!!
Kinger
@@paulmater901 The song is named Kinger? Who is it by?
For me, a German, the way Americans see the Unimog is a huge compliment. I never saw the Unimog as I see it now. It is not just a tool. It is a fun truck.
There are oh so many accessories to increase the fun level. Like backhoes and outriggers front and back, them go four wheeling! One could scale a mountain. One german to another.
@@puzzled4163 Yeah but it seems this brainbox has removed the portal axles robbing the 'mog of ground clearance and power.
I like how the Unimog is pretty much idling over all the rocks at low rpm and some of the other rigs are red lining their motors and thrashing their differentials.
Dem boys in front drank there way up and smashed there way up leaking.
Yea, but it’s too big for a lot of areas.
@@ariennelandry9207 meanwhile they exposition around the globe.
@@itsruf1He was referring to trails, or specific lines at some of the popular off roading destinations. It’s a big truck.
Don't forget that the Unimog has an extreme crawler gear meaning it's top speed at max rpm is 2mph.
That how an old 'mog with all of 84hp can do this:

Dude!!! Great Video! Maybe we need to start borrowing weird 4x4s and taking them off-road more often lol. I can't wait to see the rest of our trip 🤘
Thanks for suggesting this page in your video.
one more thing....PORTALS ON A TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I second this idea Nate! That sounds like great content. I bet that was an awesome experience
It'd be good for clicks that's for sure!
Check your email if you want to drive one.
Im shown walking around in the beginning of this video. Did you know im the the one who brought the military 5 ton 6x6 out there? We could have had a tug of war!
I was stationed in Germany in the 70s and the Germans had the Unimogs. They outperformed anything we had off road for their size. I been following LITE BRITE for years. Fun people. Looks like you had a good time hanging out with Kevin and risking your lives. So tell me, does he take the most impossible lines on purpose or just doesn't know any better?
Absolutely love the colab with dirt life style
And with lightbright
I agree!
Three of my favorite channels and 2 of them are local to me!
Keep it up guys!
It has front and rear lockers. The 4x4 lever that was pointed out, in its fully up position engages them.
Good info. Thank you!
yup it has lockers... its for sell? well was?
yeah lol was pretty confused when they said they dont have lockers i was 90% sure they all did
Broken glass, oil, and trash on the trail? Man, I never want to be a part of this. Disappointing, all those people that travel in are going to get the whole place shut down for everyone.
Yeah that guy should've gotten his ass kicked for breaking his glass outwards and onto the trail. He should've pushed it inside so it would stay in his truck
Also drinking while 4WDing? That’s not safe.
Drinking while watching your buddies wheel is really the only way to do it. Mkay
Freaking disgusting isn't it! Wouldn't be hard for someone to clean up. They're all drinking and hanging around anyway!"
I am so sorry that this is the latest fad. Bunch of yahoos.
Portal axles are the answer to everything.
The 50" tires had NOTHING to do with it.

@@sunandroses1 They sure weren't 35's.
@@jhorton1600 🤣😂
What about freeway speeds???
Awesome!!
What a great video, a ride along with Kevin Williams driving and Nate as copilot in a giant Unimog to boot.
What awesome footage!! Kevin is def one of the few people who could walk that Uni-Mog up those rocks like that. Dudes got the touch when it comes to off roading,no doubt. Thanks Max!!👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏼
That is quite easy in a unimog I have a 416 myself and I drive it a lot in offroad conditions as a service truck for heavy equipment had it for more than 15 years now and I have driven more than 150000 km with it . It has a hookloader and 8000 kg hydraulic winch with 75 meter cable and radio remote so it's good truck for offroad recovery .
That truck is awesome! Unimogs rock ! 😎👍
Fun times man...I never watched the KOH before, Tell LBN was racing....SO awesome to see them do so good...And seeing you and Nate there..
The thing that makes Unimogs badass is that the axles are raised, so they sit above the center of the wheels, giving addition room below to pass obstacles.
Umm.. yeah . I heard those are called portals.
Geared hubs like on the humvee.
@@davidcerce not exactly. Few Hummers do but a UNIMOG has the Kryptonite style. Towing up to 1000tonnes with a mere 228bhp/ 664 ftlb torque. No hummer could dream of pulling a train. 2.2 mil #
A 530 Unimog can safely haul a Cat D11 and lowboy OTR day after day.
@@itsruf1
I was only talking about the geared hubs or what are called portals. The humvee and the unimog and maybe the g wagons have geared hubs.
@@davidcerce true portals limit road speed to 55-60 mph. All Unimogs always have but we're not made for highways or vacation. The we're some military hummers but you can't drive any version on road in 30 states. As far as gwagon those must be some gimic aftermarket for middle east guys. No Hollywood star 2would get in something with grinding hubs limited to slow speed. They'd never get anywhere in LA. You sound like a tuner kid
My favorite 3 channels together! Awesome! and great work on the run of 21st place for Lite Brite!
Fyi they finished 23rd according to ultra4racing website, bit none the less it was top 25 and that was dope!
Great collaboration guys. These 406/416’s usually have lockers (I have one) the stick is drivers rear, 2w, 4w 4wlocked.
There is a solid chance we didn't know what we were doing with this thing lol
@@Maxx.Powell I had a feeling and wasn’t sure I should add my 2cents ;). Loving your channel. Keep up the great content.
@@overloadOverland the front looked locked and the back unlocked. (It comes to a rock and both fronts slipped at the same speed) Which is the end you need locked because it is front heavy :o) *best combo I found was locked front and open on the back with fiddle brakes. Super tight turns :D
The SHOCK that used in RAM TRX🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Right on, great crawlin!
Squeak: Only the power steering pump V-belt needs to be tensioned. Greetings from Germany.
It doesnt got powersteering 😂
@@bran170 does have power steering, all 416 Unimog came out with power steering. Go do your research.
Saw this amazing rig down at the Bilstein tent and couldn’t help but drool!!! So incredibly jealous y’all got to go for a ride
That thing is sick, so jelly!
Cool. Looking forward to more videos from your KOH experience.
It’s a Diesel... Nates love’n it ! 👍😃
Great. Now I need a Unimog.
That thing is insane!! Awesome video 🔥
Lite Brite sent me. Thanks for being an awesome channel. Subscribed!
Awesome video man! Had a great vibe
So sick 🤢👍🏽. Thanks for sharing
I love the lightbright episode you collabed on... I wish they spend more time in tillamook forest but i guess im just proud of my local haunts..
Awesome MOG 😍
That thing is awesome!!!
WOW. That's one of the coolest trucks I've ever seen. Those massive tires are a perfect fit and make the truck's proportions exactly right.
When I win the lottery I'm calling Kenny Hauk to build one just like it for me!
Super awesome rig!
Love the mog so awesome.
i love KOH because all of my favorite creators come together, awesome trip bro!
Thanks for watching! It was an awesome trip!
I have always wanted a unimog they just look so freaking cool and they eat just about everything in front of them.
That frickin truck is awesome!! Kevin can drive anything!😁😁
Ya buddy!!
Here in 🇪🇺, all of the unimogs has locker, as standard 👍
I thought they had air lockers from the factory unless they were taken out and never put back in
Truck builder is what happened to it. Worked before he "modified" it for Bilstein.
That thing is ridiculous but I love it!!!!!
for the record... DO NOT SEARCH FOR "BACK DOOR STUFF" ON GOOGLE hahahahahaha
Reminds me of my army days....Unimogs.
And you dare not complain about the ride quality.
That's a really sweet rig
Unimogs make my heart smile
Cool ! 👍😎
Dirt Lifestyle Suggested your page and glad he did. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Great video Max!
That ne sick unimog
Awesome video!!
That thing is sick
New sub from Dirt Lifestyle and Lite Brite
This is so much cheaper in 1/10th scale ! And I think perhaps just as much fun. Loving the truck. Viva Unimog
I love Mercedes Unimog 😁
They are so cool!
So cool
dude thats awesome maxx
Gargantuan vehicle definately a great choice for a survival vehicle
MP. Fully sick that old school Unimog ! My dad used to drive one of them a same vintage in Papua New Guinea during missionary days from 60's ? V.
in case you're wodering, that winch is not used for the unimog to pull itself. It's used to pull the horizon closer to the unimog
I love unimogs.
They've been making these things to go anywhere for decades. Jeeps, Rang aRovers, Landcruisers? Toys.
No lockers! Amazing!
Just found your channel, new subscriber! 🤙 -Josh
Bravo.....wow....crawler ........mini drift truck.......1000hp......hmmm.......cheers
Centre Locker and Rear Torsen would make that UTTERLY unstoppable .
I was waiting for Kevin to start singing Hail to the bus driver. Lol
I’ve always wanted one of these bad boys👻
unimogs are so cool
Big tires and a Mog nothing more to need for though trails ha ha!
Cool! I want one!
Dude it blows my mind that you only have 135K subs.. I tell all my buddies about your channel. I really hope you find the growth you deserve this year. I love the content man. Makes my week! Keep it up. I follow the farm channel too because I can’t wait to have some animals and projects around my future farm.
Hey thanks for the encouragement man. I really appriciate the support! Maybe one day the channel will get some traction. Thanks for watching!
Maxx says "There's some real rocks." Kevin says, "Yeah - Right over it!" Brit will never say Yes to this, Kev! I'm sorry I missed this.
this is GNARLY! haha
why the hell folks would rock crawl without full skids is beyond me lmao
This is the benefits of a purpose designed vehicle. Unimogs have portal axles with gears to lift the diff casing well above the centre of the wheel. They also have a chassis which will flex, as well as centre diff locks like most 4wds plus front and rear lockers. This means or four wheels will continue turning as opposed to losing traction if two lose grip as with a centre locker
Soo good what they can do! That's why we got one to convert it into an expedition vehicle🥰😇
Thats awesome. I wish I had one!
@@Maxx.Powell yeah! We have a van and travelled to so many places it shouldn't have gone to...so wr decided to get something that's actually capable of going pretty much everywhere😇 And they sell the last ones that are left from the Australian Army at the moment :)
When I was a kid, 50 years ago, had no idea what my brother and were doing was rock crawling. Had a 1960 corn-binder 4wd, 6 cylinders, tall skinny bias-plies, a high lift jack, 50 ft of chain, a shovel, and firewood for blocks…and NO ONE , or fences, for miles and miles. Encountered flash floods, crossed creeks too deep, stuck in several feet of snow and dug ourselves out many times, -15deg once. I look back and think how recklessness, it could have gone so wrong. I am fortunate to be alive. Wouldn’t trade those experiences that anything.
We rode a Unimog in Alaska it was awesome hopefully do that again after this Covid crap is done.
*"It's 2021 you can be offended by the way I fart now!"* hahaha!
That's an absolute fact!
So true.
The lockers and power steering worked fine before Hauk modified it, wondered what happened to it.
IF I had to guess....Hauk doesn't know a thing about Unimogs. That poor truck.
@@SixSpeed5 guaranteed, previous owner of the mog has spoken a little about the situation.
You could hear the powersteering belt screaming for mercy every time he turned the wheels 🙈
That unimog is really damn awesome it looks like a rc truck or toy
The German Unimog is the best working mashine. It never stop’s, always forward. This is a multitool for configuration specially works.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👌🏽
Next year Max, take the paramotor along, great way to watch and video Koh!
I wanted to so bad but they have flight restrictions in the area because choppers are filming the race
It's a UNIMOG thing !!!
Ridden in 3 different mogs. They all had lockers. Did not know they made one without. Great vid!
They all have lockers. Part of the design.
1:14 "Crap! There's three pedals!" The most American thing you will hear today (if you stop surfing now). *there are
DUI GATHERING!!!
And here we can see the annual pilgrimage of 4x4's up the imposing trail that some refer to as...
the Turkey Claw
Unimog unbeatable
That is freaking cool!!!! Tell Kevin he looks like a grandma driving!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I felt like a grandma on that trail. It was so plugged
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 Woohhhooo!!! What up Kev!?! Yea it looked like L.A. rush hour traffic!!!! You guys did awesome!!!🤘🤘🤘
Kevin: "look up backdoor stuff"
Try it and get ready for
Back..
Door..
Stuff...
Tighten that ps belt!😮 lockers and 4 wheel hydraulic steering rams
Insane it crawled up that with no locker.
Bilstein is also a small town in Germany where shocks manufactured.
I wish I could follow you with my Mog Jeep 👍👍
Sup family! God bless everyone
Badass rig, feel like most unimogs come equipped with lockers?
They either weren't working or we didn't know how to get them engaged 😅
They do lol
I think it was the far left lever, pull up once to engage rear, twice for full engagement
@@Maxx.Powellif you dont know how to drive a unimog read the manual. Unimog is a workhorse for adults but not a fun toy for boys playing around. Go and get your f150.😊
Kevin will have to get one now but how does he get in
I actually didn’t know mogs could come without lockers, every one I’ve ever had has had front and rear lockers standard, and my current one even has the creeper gear, maybe it’s just the 416?
Nope U 416 has also Lockers front and rear. Maybe he didnt know that he had them or they were removed during the Modifikations
I have a 416 DOKA and he has the locker lever right there...
Tim Skeuse that’s what I thought, I don’t think they ever made a mog without lockers
Imagine your 3rd gen Tacoma transforming from cross travel/overland build to a rock crawler! 🤙🏼
Thats the plan man! But I want to do all the work myself so im gana have to wait till my shop is built
