Arksen U1700 Unimog | Project Everest | Walkthrough

Join Arksen Overland CEO Rich Brown on a walkthrough tour of the Arksen U1700 Unimog.

Built on an upgraded and restored Mercedes Unimog, Project Everest delivers a modern analogue experience with old school simplicity to give you the confidence to tackle uncharted territory and find new adventure.

As with Arksen’s marine vessels, the Arksen U1700’s interior creates both sanctuary from the wildest weather, and the opportunity to connect with the environment.

Project Everest is a mint-condition ex-demonstrator available now, priced to sell at $525,000 or nearest offer. To view the listing head to:

Very well done guys, Personally i would rather have a Single cab truck with a bigger Living box and a passthrough from the Box to the cab for Safety. The restoration you did on that old U1700 is very impressive.

[esckiiis]

Very nice. Best regards from Switzerland

[JolaUrbansky]

Respekt. Respekt respekt unimog is the best of the

There is more than one way to skin a cat but imp this is a lovely build. Myself personally, I would not need a DOKA but I would extend a single cab approx 500mm with extra windows in that extension, maybe a seat buy definitely space for my dog!!
A double bed on hydraulics like this or even a permanent with separate dining area. A must would be a pass through. Still an excellent finish and a great lease of life on an older 1700l DOKA chassis. The driving cab is spot on all the tech that I think is need to get out and about after the tarmac end.
Great build, nice concept and a good addition to the ARKSEN range of vehicles, maritime and land, to get out and explore.

YOU NEED TO PULL THIS I'VE ALREADY SEEN IT

[Baaddger]

Awesome truck! When do we get to see it in it's natural habitat?

[nutsmcflurry]

I hope you’ve planned on being able to fit this on the deck of the 85!

[philhealey]

Electrics compartment looks a cut above the normal DC wiring bloodbath and the aluminium cabinets appear very fit for the corrugations.

[zulustu]

No overdrive? Surprised that’s not in your upgrade

[grahames]

It's very nice, but even selling one of my kidneys I suspect would not raise enough for me to buy it.

[theborednerds]

What are the dimensions of the habitat?

[joel-xs]

I like it. Are you interested in a trade of a 2022 International 6x6 located in the United States?

[MinuteStudios]

Does anyone have an appx price for the best of everything.. I would guess between 175 and 200, 000.... Close??

Even if you can afford that, where do you go ? Most countries in deep wilderness now are fought over by vested interests to control and exploit last available lands for resources and space. So next Unimog needs missile defence systems.
Most governments are busy keeping their lists uo to date of countries to avoid traveling to, and your insurance will simply narrow that down further . So I just keep walking where it is still free and safe and I don't spend hours traveling to.😅

[dantevanniekerk]

mount the spare on the rear - no freaking crane needed... FFS - you guys ever been off-road???

[NilzFR]

Almost no storage for a family of 4 - any partly integrated Vehicle beats this one by far - Take a look at the Hymer MLT-580 RSX

[Ian-gfid]

This looks like yet another Arksen piggyback collaboration, just like it has done with XO boats. The third-party collaborator does all the significant design, development, and manufacturing - Arksen adds a few superficial stylistic tweaks plus its brand label, and a profit margin for it being "an Arksen". I'm not convinced there's any significant value-add for the customer. Just go direct to the genuine manufacturer, i.e. Unidan in this case.

[atayakordi]

Most of these designs are copied from UNIDAN ENGINEERING. This business is just repackaging UNIDAN designs
