Liam7810 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks stabilofarmer, it is quite tricky to build as I've no dimensions to work off currently so it will take that extra bit of time but will keep updating as much as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam7810 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 SPN I don't no to be honest who makes the body work but I can look into it,no cherry picker on this Unimog only a hoist on the back to lift drum of cable onto Unimog and off load on site!
