Thats defiantly a possibility for a hunting rig, I think that one was sold by classicunimogs, or its very similar. I really like that setup, if its highway speed capable (well, say 90km/h) and still off road capable, I may be interested.... I'll have to consider Merz-ben's unit for sure, is there anything different on a railway truck (besides the obvious taller cab, box on the back, and possibility of lower gears) that a person should be aware of? Like the rear axle may not be a portal axle, how does the frame flex? Could the rear axle be changed to a portal axle? And if not, what are you loosing not having a portal axle? I understand theres a little height difference, but do you loose gearing as well?
