Only 14,350 miles?
Obviously the previous owner was a Montana rancher that only drove it on his ranch on Sundays.

Ever ride in a cab-over small rig like an Isuzu?
It's like riding a teeter-totter that lands you on a rock every time.
A thousand dollar Freedman air seat, and compressor system would be essential.
Try feeding a gen set with $3.30 gallon diesel.

I once owned a '57 Jeep Forward Control (cab-over) truck that I used for deer hunting in the Eastern Sierras. Visibility was great on the goat trails
and I never landed on a rock. Mine had a 283 cid Chevy and overdrive that made it great on the highway too.

I personally would stay away from that configuration on snow and ice. When the front wheels are ahead of you and the back wheels start coming around,
I feel it in the seat of my pants WAY before I could in a VW van for instance. When sitting on the pivot, the sensation of getting sideways seems to
be changed.
With no steel reinforcing in the foam box on the back, at 160 grand, I wouldn't want to even slide it into roadside brush!
Maybe this is just more of my resentment of conspicuous consumption.

nice unimog.
but $159K is pretty pricy for a toy, and a glorified camper at that.
for $159K I can have a really nice sailboat and still go car camping just fine with my 4runner!
unimogs look like fun, until you realize you have to use it all the time to justify the money you spend buying one!

Not Nice in Snow and Ice ?
Says Vag:
"I personally would stay away from that configuration on snow and ice".
Would that include the Steyr-Puch Haflinger ?
Seemed like they worked pretty well.
But, then, they probably didn't have to deal with snow and ice much.
Given the mild European climate.

There was (is ?) an outfit behind Harbor Freight Tools in Hemet that was marketing the vehicles and parts. They always seemed to have a decent stock
on hand.

I assume you are referring to their use in killing and getting killed, which is a lot different than heading to Yreka over Black Butte Summit on
Interstate 5 in a white out. In the latter case the intention is to come home without anyone dying There is far more utility in any number of other
vehicles which are easier to control and STOP. These things were built for war. I guess they are good for that as long as the enemy doesn't know how
to build an IED.
For a civilian...conspicuous consumption. 1 Timothy 6:10
