Weird SUV thing at car lot

Post by VinceAtReal4x4s »

Passed one of those exotic used car lots near me and noticed something out front that I guess qualifies as a 4x4?

There were a few more of these on the same lot, with a couple G's and a Lambo to boot.

The MXT is a great concept.....I hope it is making money for the people who thought of it.......a pickup or SUV on a truck chassis......No not a pickup truck chassis...a real (lighter end) commercial truck chassis. Now I don,t give out good ideas like this often, but if there is a market for the MXT and I think it has a bigger brother? Why not one of you getting rich by buying up some 'de-mobbed' as we say in Britland......Stewart and Stevenson 4x4s and other ex Mil 6x6s and come up with something like this...get it right and your spare car for bumming around in could be a Bentley. I do like the idea of a car-like vehicle on a truck chassis as a mere teen I once saw in UK,s Custom Car (probably now defunct) magazine a guy who was by trade a skilled car bodybuilder and he had put his own 1940,s Bentley styled body on a Light End commercial truck chassis...all done in aluminium and complete with Diesel Engine.

There are companies that have converting surplus deuce and a halves for some time. Take a Deuce, cut the frame, loose and axle and install an M105 trailer bed. Makes for a large truck on a military platform and a reasonable cost. a quick search of "bobbed deuce" will give you lots of versions that have been done.

Not to hijack this thread, but you have seen the Windhawk, haven't you. 125mph offroad. :shock: Mmmmm....
