Love the Enthusiasm...

that had to go into making this.

I love the simplicity and overall goal of this vehicle which is to make it durable, easy to maintain, and usable. In no way does it make any sense whatsoever financially...and is likely bested by a Wrangler Rubicon in many ways...but from a craftsmanship and uncompromising focus...this thing is pretty awesome.

Looks like a simple, no-nonsense Jeep styled vehicle. Looks cool.

Love the car. Love the style. Love what it can do. Not so much love for the MSRP.

That is pretty cool.

It's cool but got unnecessary bling. The bling along with the rarity will help turn this into a classic but at least be honest of the reasons. It's not because of their focus for "durability," please.

And the part about "those who venture in the wild, care about the wild, that's why we kept all the emissions stuff on there" is a joke. First, part is an assumption that has no factual basis, the second part is just plain laziness. The modern engine is tuned and configured for peak operations with the emissions and electronics. It is safer just to leave it on rather than risk malfunction and durability by removing and reconfiguring the engine management without it.

It is certainly a bit overdone in places (like the emblem being done by a jeweler...definitely bling nonsense) ... but lets be honest... in the end this is only going to be purchased by people who will never really use it for what it was designed. Anyone who is really going to use it is just going to buy a Jeep Wrangler so that they don't give a crap about it.

I still like the overall simplicity of the machine. Would love to own one if I had that kind of cheddar to just throw around on a toy.

Looks terrible and is a POS.

Sorry just breaking the trend from above 😉

Actually it does look a bit high, though.

They just need to infuse a little Maxima in there...at least a VQ engine...am I right!?! 🙂

Yeah...the look itself is not as impressive to me as the overall craftsmanship/simplicity. Not the prettiest vehicle out there for sure.

And high pressure tires for superior off roading.

300PSI for maximum traction!

Looks pretty cool in that VW Bug/Trabant one person can take it all apart in an hour with a penny kinda way.

Just came across this on the internets. Do want, in a "just won the lottery" kind of way.

Agreed...there is no way I'd put my hard earned money down on something like this when if you're really going to do what this is intended for...just a good old "cheap" wrangler will serve you wonderfully and you won't care when you accidentally rip the whole front fascia off.
