Bill was your stereotypical dumbass 11 Bravo who was not allowed to
actually drive any Army vehicle.

Anyways, if you are actually in serious need of off-road ground
transport under the most adverse conditions the Unimog is it. Comparing
it to what we have here in America-well, we don't have anything like
that here, since Americans mostly buy 4WD to **** around with on rocks
as opposed to actually getting there and back.

The Unimog is not, however, for dilettantes.

That must have been about the time the Germans accused us of deploying
tactical nukes.

I called Jim O'Brian, who has worked on Jeeps for years in Placerville. He
did not know who that would be, but suggested:

Hangtown Extreme 4x4
530 622-1412

I called, and the clerk said they would return the call, but haven't, so
far.

Hangtown Foreign Car Service
530 626-9034

I called, but no one home.

Since you'd have to talk direct anyway, there's the numbers.

Also he mentioned that, years ago, there was a specialist in South Lake
Tahoe, but I find nothing in the phone book.

Good Luck!
