Whatcha think of this?

Too small, no room for the dog, camping gear, people.... -Still *very* cool that someone dare dream a new prototype / concept off road vehicle from time to time

this thing is awesome. I want to make a swing away rack for it and mount it to my bumper or roofrack to use if my truck breaks down. I think if you take the tires off there are shoulder straps so you can wear this as a backpack

I was just going to post this. I saw that today and thought it was pretty cool. It is awfully small though. Kind of like an enclosed 4-wheeler!

I dig it.. just the nuts and bolts basics... no nonsense...

its pretty sweet! only thing I would change is to make it longer for more room

Icon makes some pretty neat stuff.

Yeah this is cool... however, it starts at $77,000.

You can buy an airplane for 77,000.

You could build a sick tube frame rock crawler for 77,000 that would outperform this little toy in every imaginable way.

Hell, I could put Rockwell axles under my rig and still have money for a months vacation in Hawaii left over.

It's cute though.

Ahhh Rugged... do you always have to be so real?

Ahhh Rugged... do you always have to be so real?

No, sometimes... I act the ass-hole just for fun. :gaah:

I first saw this posted on another wheelin' site I spend time at. It was advertised for sale... I really considered buying it at the time.

I like it, but even though the builder extended the wheelbase (as much as possible)... he still found it lacking ability.


I remain convinced... it's cool as hell. Except for the little spare.
