I hope I never see that thing on the trail. And I certainly don't want to see it going 140mph. It makes me ill to think of a car like that being used as a rock crawler.
Two of those pictures were taken at Disney, OK. I haven't seen it out there before.
I will tell you that Dana 44's don't hold up to what we do, and if you do the type of rock crawling we do your rig looks like wadded up tinfoil after a while. So either he's not wheelin' it hard or it's been torn up and rebuilt several times considering he said it'll out-wheel almost every other rig :P
Even $4900 would be high for that thing, much less $49,000.

HAHA. BFG AT,'s and only 33" at that? and not mounted on a truck frame? with everything he says he's done in it, that unibody would be twisted like a pretzel and the D44 axles would snap like twigs behind that engine. And how on earth is he using the original real leafs?!? giant lift blocks? very very scary for a real trail rig.
very nice Jeep. Being pretty just means they don't really get wheeled. hehe.
Sadly, my truck is nothing special these days. I can't lift it or it wont fit in my underground parking. Just an 87 Ram reg cab short bed on 33's.
My last truck was much more fun though. A 74 Power Wagon with 5" suspension lift, Unimog 404 axles and 41" Michelin XL tires. with 7.56:1 axle gears it didn't move fast, but it moved anywhere it physically fit. lol.
Stacy, my friend with a 69 vert w superchargher also is a 4x4 guy...he`s got two 'buggys' , now he`s building a Jeep with an external cage. He also owns a Swiss army Unimog.
My sons old 1954 Volvo Tp21 (no 127 of 724)was also fun
I dont know how to post pics here...but you can look up tp21 on the web...ours had Stc=ockton wheels , Chevy 350, th350, modern Volvo seats, CD player and AC....

1957 Volvo TP21 news, pictures, and information
In the beginning of the 1950s, Volvo met the demands of the Swedish Defense Forces for a four-wheel-drive command car by building the TP21. It quickly became known as 'The Sow' because of its rotund rear end. The vehicle was primarily used for radio communications and it carried a high-base antenna that could either stand alone or be placed in a holder on the front of the TP21.
The model was based on a light truck frame and was fitted with a body based on the PV830 taxi - although shortened slightly to improve the off-road mobility. The shortened wheelbase, large terrain tires and high ground clearance proved very effective, especially in off-road conditions. During this era, the TP21 was the leading vehicle of its kind in the world and ended up being used for over three decades by the Swedish Defense Force.
The name TP21 comes from the Swedish word TerrangPersonbil (P2104) (Off-road car P2104). When the TP21 was used in the Swedish Defense Force it was under the name Raptgb 915, which takes some letters from the Swedish word Radiopersonterrangbil 915 (Radio car off-road 915).
The TP21 was produced during the years 1953-1958. During this period, Volvo produced 1 prototype and 724 vehicles for the Swedish Defense Force. This vehicle on display is a MY1957, Chassis No. 430, and was produced in Gothenburg, Sweden.
