Unimog U1550 Expedition Truck

The new Explorer Truck

In December 2017 I bought this Unimog, which I will now modify to be a real Expedition Truck. The rework on the shelter can be read in Unimog Shelter Rework and Unimog Shelter Buildup. Eventually I had to realize, that I will not be able to work with the old shelter. Therefore I have ordered a new shelter, which was built according to my drawings. The buildup can be found under Unimog New Shelter Buildup. All work on the truck itself can be found in Unimog Truck Rework.
