Plenty of H1 Hummers been to Baja. Ken Bondy's nice red one comes to mind.
German Unimogs and Swiss Penzgauers (sp?) have been seen in Baja... I think those were military rigs originally?


The paint is not an issue. The machine gun might be. Unimogs and Pinzgauers (thats the sp) are no military rigs at all. You can`t export a military Unimog from Germany w/o an requested export license making sure you converted it to a civil version. :fire:

I would not want to be driving around in that area in a vehicle that is desirable to the cartel, or could be mistaken for one of theirs!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Your Hummer will last as long as long as you can pay armed security to watch it. Best of luck.

i imported a unimog 1300 [ german army] very easy, no such permitting needed that i remember. maybe the customs broker did it without my knowledge.
