I have previously posted on my 416 Rigby, the only full stocked one I have seen. One of my favorite rifles. I took a Buffalo with it in the Save valley Zimbabwe in 2019. My new 416 is an entirely different animal.

A 1980 Mercedes Unimog 416 Doka. It lacks many of the creature comforts of todays vehicles, like AC or a radio. It’s loud and smells of diesel and Latakia. But it does have front and rear PTO and hydraulics and a 3 way tipper bed. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it!

I'm truly jealous! Can you post some pics of the axles for those who don't know what they look like or how they're engineered? Awesome vehicles!
 
I would buy one if I could find one

I hunted elephant with Luke Samaris in 2005. It was my fourth safari and I tell you he is a fine gentleman the best. I got the opportunity to meet Patty Curtis, although never hunted with him but enjoyed our conversation around our tent in the Selous. Very sad for a tough guy to leave this world the way he did. Let’s pray the murderers are caught. I hope to see Luke in Nashville.
