Unimog U1300 turbo, overdrive, expedition-body ready

1987 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1300L Additional Info:

Fully prepared Unimog, ready for an expedition body to be mounted.

This Unimog would be perfect for a Total Composites box kit.

1987 Unimog U1300L
Former fire brigade ambulance (the non-military ambulances saw the lightest duty of all the Unimogs and are therefore the most desirable).
OM366A turbocharged engine
Fast Axles
Continental 335/80 R20 MPT81 Tires
Some level of factory rebuild in 1998 (the information on this is very unclear, but it did go for a complete servicing and partial rebuild in 1998, which means it has some components only found in newer Unimogs

This Unimog was built to take a custom expedition camper. The subframe was built to accept up to a 13 foot camper.

Parts used –

From Atkinson Vos in UK

225 Liter Extended Fuel tank
Extended Aluminum Battery box
Deluxe Sound Deadening Kit

From Atlas 4×4 in Germany

Subframe Kit – made out of s355 frame steel (this is a really awesome German subframe that allows you to mount a camper directly to it. It is very lightweight, only 3-400lbs, much lighter than the standard Unimog bed)
Custom Bumper – with new high intensity LED lights (A massive improvement in light output from the standard lights). This is a very costly, but necessary upgrade).
Custom Water tank – that fits in between the subframe rails, neoprene coated for low temps

Random Upgrades

Auberins EGT and Water temp guage – digital with alarm.
Custom Seat Brackets and new seats from a 2013 sprinter
Mogauspuff Stainless Cowl Muffler from Germany – this helped with engine noise as well as allowing the move of the fuel tank to drivers side, making room for a camper door on the passenger side.
