They just werent designed to go that fast, o I keep it at 65. It will go faster, nd would go faster yet with the 365 tires on, ut I personally don't think its a great idea to go that fast in a mog in terms of wear and tear on portals etc. The truck will do 65 mph with low RPMs very comfortably. This really helps the truck on hills, ut has no effect on engine longevity, ike some of the moreaggressivehp increases do.I've received a few questions about top speed. This has made the truck MUCH more comfortable.The HP was also increased from the stock 130hp to 168hp. It allows much more comfortable seating in its stock configuration, ut it is also extremely reinforced to allow a pass through from cab to cabin for those so inclined.

Its not a full roll cage, ut it is close. We sent the truck out to Terry Lee after I finished to have one final pass through everything, nd he also did a significant amount of work.We had a cab extension installed which increases the length of the cabin by 6". It is desirable to have a Mog that has been through the factory rebuild, ut unfortunately we havent been able to find out what all was done).Mechanical UpgradesI personally went through and rebuilt every system on the truck, s well as spending almost 15k for speciality work by Mario Moreno in California and Rob at Terry Lee in Colorado, ho are 2 of the last few factory certified Unimog Mechanics in the states. Our lives changed and we aren't going to be able to take the trip we originally planned, hus we are forced to sell right at the point I finally finished everything.BasicsFormer fire brigade ambulance (the non-military ambulances saw the lightest duty of all the unimogs and are therefore the most desirable).OM366A turbocharged engineFast AxlesContinental 335/80 R20 MPT81 Tires (option to purchase a new set of 365/80 r 20 MPT81s for sale separately).Some level of factory rebuild in 1998 (the information we have on this is very unclear, ut it did go for a complete servicing and partial rebuild in 1998, hich means it has some components only found in newer Mogs.
