Unimogs rock! Somebody down here was importing them and sellin em for 10k bout 15 years ago. I don't think they can pass smog anymore for import. Haven't seen his add in along time. A guy in big bear has tours through the forrest in his fleet of unis.

They should do fine for smog , thier diesels and not much to check on those,as long as there stock. There is a guy down your way called the hundred dollar man that sells military vehicles. Has some awesome prices on bobbed duces.

I am a Mog fan myself, but I particularly like the smaller ones used by the US Army... I believe they are commonly called S.E.E. tractors..

I like the mogs too. If we take the plunge and get a lavender farm going, I will use a couple for spraying and harvesting.

I would love to get me a Mog one day... but I have been looking at the bobbed dueces that the 100 dollar man is selling for a few years now.. I would love to have one, don't even know why... they are just awesome vehicles!!
