One note video and pictures always make slopes and angles seem not so bad. I was way past 45degrees there.
And we broke the spare tire mount again.

Re: Ugly doing what it does best

I wonder how much work there might be in putting axles from a Volvo C303 (Tgb-11) on that. And how much more clearence you would get.

Sidenote: RCV Off-Road Performance, http://www.rcvperformance.com/index.aspx , makes replacement cv joints for the axels used on the Volvo C303(4x4) and C304(6x6).
So there must be a market over there for such things.

I have heard it discussed, but we like our rigs narrow, my axles are 60" wheel mount to wheel mount, which is 2" wider than stock, the Unimog axles are 70+".
