A toy that I would love to have if the price wasn't so high like 100,000 dollars new.

The Unimog has been around a while and has been adapted from plowing snow to cutting weeds on off the side of the road to a 4x4 pleasure vehicle. Hardcore 4x4 buggy guys use the axles to mount huge tires on without breakage. It's the only Mercedes I really admire.

I'm a big fan of the Unimog as its a very capable vehicle. If I was ridiculously rich and had acres of land I wouldn't shy away from one.

They have portal axles. Solid axles no IFS. Pretty much indestructible. Look up Pinzgauer. A guy down the street from me has one. Pretty neat little vehicle.

My uncle had one for agricultural use.

He was very popular in snowy weather pulling people in their cars out of trouble.
