    Unimog 404.1 with pertronix ignition, and coil

    I just got this 1962 404.1, and a previous owner had done the civilian ignition conversion with the Pertronix coil, and module. Both are being fed 24v.

    Using Spacers on wheels?

    The further you stick a wheel out from the center of the spindle, the more load you place on both the spindle and bearings, that neither were engineered for. I personally, would get the A3, and swap frames out before running spacers.

    General Consensus on Loading a trailer (Weight Displacement)

    I forgot to add, that the only successful method I have ever found for getting out of a sway, is to give it full throttle, then slow down considerably once the sway stops.

    General Consensus on Loading a trailer (Weight Displacement)

    As someone who tows vehicles on a home built tilt trailer, with no brakes, sway is something that you do not want. Something that I have learned, is that the lighter the tow vehicle, the more weight is needed on the front. Try towing an 80 camaro on a 1500lb trailer behind a chevy s10.

    Trailer ID required.

    They look civilian to me.

    Would you pull a M101A3 with a 04 Nissan Xterra?

    With the 3.3l, you will definately notice the trailer is there, especially on the hills, but it will tow it.
