Of course CJ, if you can now go further than anyone else, who will pull you out when you get stuck?

I work at a shop that besides VW service sells used Unimogs and Pinzgauers. They had a customer who somehow got his unimog stuck in mud. They used a 6x6 pinz to get it out !

Nice one CJ,

How about one of these to go with them

Now I would give up my day job for that, one man band operation, drive your syncro to work, sleep in it. Work in the mog and the feller. Bliss.

Just the 300,000 investment to find. oh well.
