Well…the saga continues…figures…about 6 months ago before I purchased the Warn winch bumper I posted a wanted ad on for an Off-Road Designs full coverage bumper. Exactly 2 days after I finally got the 8274 and the Warn bumper mounted a local guy messaged me on FB saying he had one for sale. So...

@Mogman Several things I can think of off the top of my head…. -Relative ease of sourcing an engine -Cost vs rebuilding what you have -Power to weight ratio -Availability of parts -Tune ability of the engine -Aftermarket support of the engine But ask those questions on BW. That’s where the...

There’s several guys on BenzWorld Unimog site who successfully mated a VW diesel engine to a Unimog transmission and a third one was done somewhere in Canada. I think there‘s a link on the BenzWorld forum as well. If you can’t find it PM me and I’ll try to post the links here.

Got this 8274 mounted today with an old school Warn bumper that I found for sale locally on FB.

Check out Super Bright LED’s their prices and color/brightness/quantity options are much better! I replaced all the standard bulbs in my M1097A2 several years ago since I didn’t want to spend the money for actual LED housings...

I recently responded to a FB for sale ad with a Warn 8274 on a receiver hitch mount for sale in WY for what I thought was a scam because of the price. I sent half the money with insurance incase it was a scam with the balance paid at the time of pickup. Pickup went great. Extremely low use...

@TechnoWeenie I’d appreciate you posting pics back up once both headlights are installed and it’s darker out with both low and high beams. I’ve been looking for a better solution for my DD M1031. The halogen bulbs leave a lot to be desired. Unfortunately I’ve got 3 sets left and hate spending...

@chevymike thank you for your reply! I researched several of the aftermarket transmission pans: -MAG-HYTEC- 4 quarts over stock, Aluminum, $370.98 -B&M HI-TEK- 3 quarts over stock, Aluminum, $349.95 -TCI AUTOMOTIVE - 4.5 quarts over stock, Aluminum, $568.95 (Temporarily unavailable at time...

Did you see a noticeable temperature drop? I looked at their pans with cooling tubes but thought they were gimmicky?!?!?! But maybe not?

Anyone have any recommendations on a deeper aluminum transmission pan? I’m looking to add fluid capacity, a magnetic drain plug which will hopefully increase the trans lifespan.

I’ve got 2 Red top Optimas from 2014 in mine. Haven’t ever had a problem until the alternator died. Hooked it up to the Optima charger and it‘s back in the truck. I know a bunch of people have had issues with Optima batteries since they moved their manufacturing plant. However that hasn’t...
