Unimog U5000
2023
A model of the famous Unimog U5000. This thing was a beast, featuring a 2-speed gearbox, steering, portal axles, pneumatic-actuated front and rear differential locks, and a low center of gravity.
I had always wanted to create a truck that was both agile and effective off-road. With this truck, high gear and open diffs is fast on flat terrain, and locked diffs in low gear is really effective off-road. I was especially proud of the compact front axle design, which is linked below. Easily one of my favourite builds to date 🔥
