I just looked through their site...$19,900 and you can have one of your own...I wonder what axles they run...if they are D60s or larger then its not a bad price considering what you get:D

4 wheel steer

seem pretty well built
use a honda motor, I don;t know what they use for a t case but they have 4 wheel and it ain't chain drive..

I have a 1.5 ltr honda motor I was thinking about kinda copying them.. If anyone has a idea for a t case I would love to hear it..

I think those things look pretty cool but I don't really see any practical use for them. It isn't like some one is going to go on a trail ride with it is and enlarged ATV with a body. Just my opinion but I see it as a waste of money and I would just rather build my jeep.

ROTFLMFAO....... I can't belive you said you wouldn't waste your $$ and then in the same breath, said you'd put it in your HEEP..lol:flipoff2::D:D:D

Good burn Tin Bender!!!! :beer:

And while they are WAY too expensive for what you get, i do like the idea. For me, i'd love one of them!! I can't ride an ATV after my motorcycle accident, and i've been looking around at what could be built or bought that would give me a similar small run-about type of rig, but with a full roll cage, and enough power to have fun with. :D
But, there's no way that i'd spend that much on a toy, you could buy a new car for that much, a cheap car, but a new one!! :D
Anyways, i'd like to get some blueprints of that thing so i could get it made up for me, at a much lower price too!!

If one of you guys with the magical tube-bending prowess of a master were to build one of those, how much would it cost total? Parts, everything???

They're built right here in Calgary
Might have a production line in one of the shops Rob works at
Once it comes through I'll snap some close up pics.

They look like fun
