This 1984 Mercedes Benz Unimog 416 Doka has been restored to what looks and sounds like an unusually high standard, the seller noting many modifications designed to make the truck both more capable and comfortable. An ex-fire service example, it runs fast axles for higher on-road speeds, and the cabin and engine compartment have both received lots of added sound insulation. Find it here on Gumtree in South Windsor, NSW, Australia for $70k AUD (~$51k USD today). Special thanks to BaT reader Wilson for this submission.

The ad claims that the truck was fully stripped down to bare metal, with all rust removed prior to repair with excellent quality Metallbau-Feulner replacement panels direct from Germany. Tires are new Michelin 365/80R20 XZL items, themselves worth a few thousand dollars alone. A custom front bumper bar mounts a 15,000 pound Warn winch, and the custom bed incorporates a storage box with gull wing doors. Note the spare.

The seller notes extensive, multi-layer and multi-density sound insulation on the floors, doors, and roof, as well as under the engine cover and hood, adding that the truck is now remarkably quiet for a Unimog. Door weatherstripping is all new, and the dash sounds to have been recovered as well. The original windshield has been replaced, but remains intact and is included as a spare.

A wonderfully bewildering collection of gear levers should keep things interesting for a while, and all wear new boots. The driver’s apparently MBtex covered seat is a suspension item, and remaining seats have been nicely reupholstered to match. Carpets are fresh as well.

Brakes are four wheel discs with new rotors and pads, the ad also notes relocated fuel and air tanks, as well as batteries. Other details include an extra power steering cooler, 50 amp alternator, thermostatically controlled fans, all new shocks, a Jake Brake, and a twin plate clutch.

Here’s a quick look underneath–note the portal axles. Described as freshly serviced and ready for road or trail, this one’s easily one of the more impressive ‘Mogs we’ve seen for a while.
