I don't know why that would go through all of that for leaf springs, but other than that , that is awesome.

We rented a Vulva wagon last year on vacation and they are NICE. I'd love to get one for my wife :D. That one there would a blast, I agreeon the leaf comments, but oh well.

looks like its there daniel, if you look at the last pic for the engine bay you'll see the engine is way back near the shackle hangers, i think in the side view, the dark area that looks like the firewall is the front of the engine

What do you think the dia. on the tires is? I'm guessing 37 - 40"
