Another beast on ebay (its not a suzuki)

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

If they paid me, I might take it away.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

If you had it custom built, *perhaps* it'd cost you 25.

My friend Scottie built that, and sold it a couple of years later for £4k. And made his money back.

Sure, those are 40" tyres, not 52's, but seriously - THIRTY FIVE GRAND??? :screwy:

I'd be hesitant if he wanted thirty five hundred! :hahaha:

That looks to be slightly more than I got out of the 2008 Yaris. I do mean *slightly* too. I wasn't expecting to see it get that far, but it's still not great, is it? I mean, for that kind of money, you'd want to be scoring 1000, have pneumatic/hydraulic self-levelling suspension, e-lockers, a gym and a jacuzzi...

Hell YES!!! Seen that before, it's class.

The other option you could go for with that kind of money is to have an extending chassis. I saw a vid of a rock crawler from the US, who's wheelbase extends (on hydraulic rams, I guess) and the whole front subframe moves forward, for when he's climbing steep stuff.

I can't find the video, though!!!

Or option 3: Combine both ideas, and add mattracks (or similar).

Option 4 - all of the above, in 6x6 config, running hydrostatically.

Option 5: All of the above, plus gym and jacuzzi...

Not really into gyms.

How about a swim up bar in this jacuzzi?

As long as you can get a pretty brunette into this picture somehow, I'm sold on that idea.

In fact, forget the truck. I'll take the Jacuzzibar and the girl. :doublethumbs:

For that kind of money? I'd get my current SJ rebuilt from the ground up to showroom condition, get a 413, fit a 1.6 litre engine and a Scamp Rowfant kit-car body, buy a LWB Samurai KJA and get that restored and still have enough left to get my Mum a new kitchen.

The right way,

And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
