Form a Utah LLC and register the vehicle in Utah. No tax. Friend of mine has this with his truck here in Baton Rouge and he’s a lawyer. Expedition Imports said told me when I visited him last year if I bought a Unimog from him that he would meet me at the California border and I would show up...

I know this is an old thread, however I wanted to comment that I learned recently that the SF97 law was updated as of June of last year. There had been some trouble in recent years prior to 2018 (?) with folks getting titles yanked for Humvee purchases. I own a Unimog 404 and have had folks...

Tonight I finally (don't ask me why I didn't do this sooner), disconnected the battery and drained the tanks. I had already drained the reserve using a hand pump for part of it and the HF Battery operated pump for the remainder, then I dropped the bolt 19mm on the bottom of the main tank with a...

Agree 100%, I believe the gentleman in Florida (William S) who has 2 404's for sale at the moment on CL has a great setup. I will try something similar as this is after the fuel switch. I got the same fuel pump, and found out after contacting them that this is a self-regulating pump, no need...

Thanks for the replies, I neglected to mention in my post that this was a NOS Carb that I got from EI. After I did this little video and my post, I got to thinking it was maybe the carb(?), I took the carb off and upon opening it up I found this white dust crud inside (old gas? old storage...

Hi everyone, last year April I posted a video and asked for and got some great advice (some of which I'm still working on). I've since then acquired all the service manuals including the Bundeswehr Microfiche service guides and scanned them all. I fixed my stuck fuel pedal and throttle issue...

Make sure to check the building codes for your area, neighborhood where you live some municipalities require a certain distance from the edge of the property. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was curious where the guy T-Boned you. Sorry that happened to you. People here drive like they do in Eastern Europe. The pictures from the parade look great, hopefully next year I can attend. I was in the Halloween Parade 2 weeks ago and that was a lot of fun. Sent from my iPhone using...

Where did this happen at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love it. Wish I had started sooner in life. We just saw a dozen M35's rolling down the interstate towards NOLA with 100KW generators. Should be an exciting weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FLU, As with everything on this truck, working on one minor thing turns into a project. I tried two 17mm wrenches and it appears that fitting is permanently married to that fuel line and the screw fitting it's screwed onto. I inadvertently ended up twisting the fuel line thinking I was making...

I'm in the process of getting my forward manifold replaced to take care of the infamous cracked manifold issue. Need to take the carb off, any tips on removing the Fuel Fitting / Line from the NDIX Carb? Soaking this in ATF/Acetone mix for about a day, still no luck in getting it to budge...

I researched that, and the only springs are the return spring and this pedal spring. In this situation, the return spring was not enough to return the engine to normal idle, it needed another nudge which this pedal spring provides. In the event the fuel pedal ever gums up the added spring will...

Finally fixed the issue of my fuel pedal not returning. The problem in the end was the fuel pedal itself had no spring action left in it's own operation. It was pretty gummed up, all the throttle linkage was mucked up too. Parts to replace were not expensive from Unipaser and EI except the Fuel...

I got my parts order in from Unipaser, he didn't have the cross-over shaft but sent me a Foot Throttle Return spring instead, mentioned that it is often missing on the 404. I wonder if this has been part of my issue all along, nonetheless, I'm having trouble figuring out where it goes...
