if you dont think of it as a 4x4 rather a cool custom cruiser it does look sweet imo

but we drive 40's so we are both crazy lol

Not a bad price might have to pop down to the dealer and have closer lookat how they have done it, would look good with flanmes :cool:

I dunno $7000 seems a bit steep for a fairly stock (roof excluded) looking 40.

Personal opinoin is that its just wrong ;) . I have hit my head on my roof before hate to drive one that low.

7k is steep for crappy 2F but the roof!!

Im guessing they have had to drop the seats due to roof height? Which means relocating the fuel tank?

If Al Capon drove a cruiser it would look like that :D

the guy how done it lived around the corner from me.

it did look cool, but close up it was very ordinary, and no headroom.

SEEN IT FIRST HAND...down the road from work near the local.

you know...driving along and any 40 catches your attention.

it is fairly ordinary, the welds are not very neat inside. shouldn't be too hard to do i guess. but be a pain if you rolled and had no recplacement.

No head room in the YELLOW one for the times when your ass comes off the seat...

But i like the RWD one, want to do a Middy like that... :lol:

The yellow one, i have seen a few times, normally see it about 20 mins from home, in the Penrith area, i dont mind normal 40's, but i say it looks shit, the guy i seen driving it, looks like hes too tall for it, it was a complete waste of a good 4by.
