Hey all, This morning's Mog Meet-up is still on but for unforseen reasons neither the Goanna or the shop van will be there. We'll be over at the cafe.
Hey kids... don't forget we have our monthly meet up this Saturday.
Same location 550 Christine Ave, Robina. 9am
Also check out Lukas and Jazz's mog build.
From rust to glory: Ex-army Unimog - Restoration begins! | Episode 1" Welcome to the kickoff of our Unimog conversion adventure! In this episode, we're taking you along as we restore and modernize our Unimog from 1983. Our proj...
While we're in replacing the output fl**ge seal on the transfer case we've pulled the front driveshaft out to l**e the slip joint to the pinion shaft.
Update on our water to air intercooler kit. Now that our custom temp sensors have arrived we can do some more testing before finalising the production version.
Great to see when people are happy with their new performance upgrades.
New workshop is coming along quickly. We're hopefully be able to start transitioning over at the end of the month.
Of course we had to make sure it is shop dog 🐕 🐕 approved as well 😁
When the job gets a little bigger and the PTO has to come out.
New grill in development. This is for you guys which have a 100mm cab lift and want to run a front mounted intercooler.
Here's what the prototype looks like before powder coating and the mesh.
It will be in the same black you see on all grills but have the silver stainless steel mesh like our new 2 tone grills.
What do you all think?
We've got Samuel's mog in got a large service and a few other bits to get his mog up to scratch.
Wow! 1000 Followers!
Thanks everyone!
A couple new grills finished up today and ready. We've done these with bright stainless steel mesh to make them really pop! This two tone look brings another dimension to the front of the Unimog.
Here's what they look like fitted to a truck. Which design do you prefer?
These are available for purchase.

New grill coming soon. This one is for those with the 100mm cab lift and needing the clearance for the front mounted intercoolers. Fits straight to the factory mounting points just like our other grills.
Here a sneak peak of the design. It'll be black powder coated with silver mess backing.
New workshop is coming along quickly. The boys got cracking on it yesterday. We had to stop in and have a look of course 😉
Wow... what a clean mog to work on. We've sorted out a few items on Russell's Unimog camper so him and the family can enjoy getting to there destinations as much as staying at them.
We've installed a overdrive gearbox, cleaned and resealed a leaky portal along with a few other bits and pieces which required some attention.
Can't wait to see the places they go!
Just a reminder.... this Saturday morning 9am is your monthly Mog meet up. 550 Christine Ave, Robina.
The Goanna should be there with some new bits.
Exciting news we'll hopefully be in the moving shop to our new premises on the Gold Coast the end of June.
Always great to see an overdrive gearbox go into a Unimog. Who doesn't like a clean install 😉
Things are moving along quickly at the new shop location. Slab has been poured this morning 😎
We've got Russell's U1700 camper mog in for a Claas overdrive upgrade and a few other bits. What a clean looking rig this is 😎
Something big is coming.... a year in and already expanding. Also with a new location.
Started working on the custom cab lift for the Downward Dog (Justin's personal Unimog). Unfortunately the standard 100mm kit just ain't going to cut it.
Testing the airflow through the stacked cores of our performance radiator and intercooler heat exchanger.
And the numbers are looking good with minimal restriction which will allow for more efficient heat transfer.
Graph below in the comments.
Fitment complete for the new water to air intercooler setup. Now time for some real-world testing. We're sure there will be some minor adjustments but this kit is sure to be a top performer.
We're aiming for lower EGT's and increased air density for improved fuel economy and performance!
Best thing is ... is that we get to test it with our performance built OM352A engine we call the Berlin Basher. Might be time to turn up the injection pump a bit.
Closed tomorrow for ANZAC Day.
Tomorrow is our monthly Mog meet up. 9am at 550 Christine Ave , Robina.
This time around we won't have our trucks there as they are currently getting some upgrades.
Look out for the shop van in the usual parking area. And we'll be getting coffee and a feed at the Elephant Grounds Cafe.
Hope to see you there!
Well it's arrived and it's massive! Shout out to Steve and the team at PWR Advanced Cooling Technology for working with us on designing and building the new cooling system for the Downward Dog Unimog. This is the new rear mount radiator and intercooler heat exchanger for Justin's 366LA build. This will certainly keep those pesky temps in check.
Stuart's getting the roof prepped for skim coat and paint before Goanna gets its new AC unit.
This weekend we are working on the Goanna getting some more done on the AC unit with our upgraded high mount alternator setup. We're also working on the piping for our water to air intercooler kit for the compound turbo setup.
