I like it but why use all that heavy pipe to protect flexi plastic wheel arch flares? and increase width? I like EXOS but in the event of a rollover I don'tthink this one will save the bonnet or windscreen frame.

I read it when it was on Zukikrawlers, loved the fab and engineering that went into it but Im honestly not a huge fan of the end result. Looks a bit like a tank to me.

Design, not so good. Implementation, outstanding.

Can't recall exactly, but this car was covered in both natural light and Infra red cameras.

I seem to recall that the "rocket laucher" was a steerable light, but I can't recall if it was IR or ambient light.

It has gun racks on the rear cage, which in some shots had AK 47's on them. Hmmmm.

hilux diffs, 4.3 litre V6, auto, all link suspension.... All this to run 31's

I guess some people need more help than others to go rabbiting :roll:

Lucky they've got IR cameras.... I recall they ditched the demister (too cool for school) so they can use the IR cameras to drive by when they can't see out of their windscreen :roll:

space taxi - :D strictly for use by space cadets. I bet the "gun racks" double as light sabre holders for when the buys are driving out into the woods in their "special outfits" ;)

Appreciate the work that went into it... seems like a bit of a waste imo though.

Why oh why ... it is neat as a pin and the attention to detail is amazing ...

Stuff how much does it weight .. how much did it cost ?

I reckon it would look deadset awesome without all the over the top barwork.

i.e. keep the trick cage, the bottom half (simple part) of the front bar, & the tube doors. Lose all the ghetto fender & flare barwork & the funky arse for the spare tyre, & relocate the spare into the tub.

raise it an inch and stick it on 33's.

Thats not a shooting rig, its a shopping rig :lol: . All that barwork is for grocery shoping, protects against wild shopping trollies!!!

Honestly I question the state of mind of its creators, and pitty the poor suzuki thats under all that garbage. That rear wheel carrier thing is stupid, its heavy, ugly, collects unwanted trash, and inhibits the cars departure angle. Besides these small problems, I still don't like it, why did they pick on a suzi, if they wanted something small, they should used a niva, or somthing already ugly.
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.

With the ammount of weight that things they could have left the bar work off and stuck with the 1L engine.

Atention the detail top marks
