I like it, and surprisingly, no one else had taken it 
Yes, more pics. Also if you have another thread going that shows the Unimog please link it. Thanks!

You guys... this thread is full of pics I am struggling getting my Link ECU to talk to a tablet so I can track things like engine temp - don't want to run it withough some feedback from the engine. I'll try to get some focus on it in the coming weeks and actually get it into its natural habitat for some pics..
@Devils Paw 80 I haven't started on the Unimog yet, it's a 404 with the original M180 motor, I found an M130 which will almost double the HP from 80 to 156 and preserve the gearbox. Hope to spend some time on that motor this winter and get it in by spring. I also have a set of 44's for it and if it can turn those, with build a camper for it as well. For now though, it sits waiting for me to get to the leaky seals on the gear box, a blown brake cylinder and the swap.

@BoomerUZ yes, baud rate is correct. The goal is to be able to use a small tablet and an app like "RealDash"; right now the ecu talks to the computer no problem, but when put through the (data) usb to the tablet, nothing. I now have a CAN-USB adapter that I will try and use as an interface to get the two to talk to each other and then go from there.
This is why Megasquirt > link lol
Assuming you did the ECU setting, config, data stream mode to continuous 12hz, F4, then USB to OTG for tablet, Garage - connection - add - link ECU - serial port - 38400 baud - use long data stream.
Then you'll have to use a CAN adaptor which is annoying

What a boring picture right? But wait, there is significance here. That is my pig, in a downtown parking lot. Pushed by my soon to be daughter-in-law borrowing my truck for a 10 day trip I finally did the last few things to put her on the road and drove her to work today... six plus years after starting on the project.
I am still not happy with the brakes - considering all disc and the 80 series booster, they should be better notwithstanding the 35s - I am going to try a wilwood brake proportioning valve next - and I have a bunch of wiring to tidy up and, and , and - but it is now drivable. After a bit more snow comes off the mountains I will give her an off road shakedown, but for now: Pig, in a parking lot
That is awesome, gotta be happy with that! 
Congrats @YukonCruisers. I just knew you were going to say, “6 years of hard work and they still won’t let me park my pig in the parking lot”.
