The Jeep is bad ass, but the bobbed Deuce is more feasible, at least financially. I've been looking at them for a while and finally have the wife talked into getting one. Now all I have to do is figure out where ton buy from.

That Defender is in our German offroad Forum! That Thing is so awesome with the portal axles and these Hutchinson Rims.

It does indeed, but still love how they took a vehicle that wouldn't be considered for off road driving and made something somewhat close with the mods done to it.

Karo you've made Philberto drool again! He'll be wanting to sell his TB again.

Too much since toyota's retarded and doesn't sell that truck in the states, and it's a really nice custom popup job... The design alone must have taken months.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't. If not a one-off, you're looking at a six-figure vehicle easy.
