Looks super top heavy though.

Well, it says the thing is made out of fibreglass, so it might not be too bad. They probably put all the heavier equipment at the base area, well, except for the rooftop A/C.
I don't know if I would pay $50,000 for it though, but it's pretty nice looking.

TOP HEAVY...needs a pop top

That's HUGE! Could be fine for smooth overland trails, but I can't think of many trails on the west coast where it would both fit and not get mangled.

I love the way the seats fold down into a bed

And what I wouldn't give to have a $h!tter in my rig while out on the trails lol

Cool for what it is but not real pratical for "real" backcountry travel IMO.
Unique thats for sure!

This is really a highway cruiser that can get a hundred yards off the road at night for some privacy.

I would hate to have it bogged on the beach sitting on that overhang

Looks damned cramped in there also. Its like they are trying to take the Sheraton with them.
You would spend all your time opening and closing things and moving around so someone else can get in or out
It might have been bearable without the toilet and shower

Caster wheels under the rear bumper and you're good to go.

Needs a dana 70 rear axle to hold all that weight, I don`t think the toyota one would last long offroad with the extra weight.
