Mahindra Roxer - Uhoh

[chim]

My first Jeep was a WWII version. It had the blackout lights, skid plates, vacuum wipers and no top. The fuel fill was via a very large cap that was under the (unfastened) bottom cushion of the driver's seat. I bought it for $375 in 1970 and sold it for $375 after about a year when I fell in love with a 500 Kawasaki. I didn't have much money and couldn't keep everything I wanted. The Jeep paid for 1/2 of the one year old bike.

That Jeep, and the two I've owned since, have been fun. Now that we're getting older, Wifey and I aren't that much into jeeps as we are comfort. As a matter of fact I have a 95 that I should sell. Haven't driven it for years and it's rusting away. I gave my Warn 8274 to one of the kids a few years ago and helped him build a bumper for mounting it on his Grand Cherokee. The company provides me with a Tahoe, and we've already decided we'll go buy one of our own when retirement comes. They've really come a long way since the full-size 75 K5 Blazer I had back in the day.

The dump bed is what makes a UTV/SxS such a necessity for property owners. We can toss tools in, haul materials in it and do things that would otherwise be a painful task.

Put a dump bed on the back of that Jeep thing and you'll likely sell them faster than you can manufacture them. Make the dump bed a little larger than the largest available on a UTV/SxS on the market today. I really feel that this would make the machine worth considering. But as a fixed body SUV-like Jeep, it's not really something that I see many people wanting to invest in.

I agree that's why I building this Jeep:

Mahindra is licensed by Jeep so isnt' an infringement, per the article I read. Unless you must have a diesel at $15K, I would spring for a used Jeep TJ and spend a lot less. Leaf springs are sooooo old school.

I do not think they are licensed to build them
For the US market. India market yes, but not here. But luckily this is just a side by side and not a truck or SUV. It only goes 45 mph. For that money one could buy a used one and drive it on the road legally.

At 62" wide it's too big to use ORV trails here in Michigan. That's 9" wider than the early CJs, if I remember right, which are 5" to wide to use the ORV trails. Not that I was considering one, but that would be a definite deal breaker.

Ah, dreams- what America lives for!:thumbsup:
Say you were dreaming of a tractor for yourself- what might it be?
Isn't it time for you to get one, and join your TBN members in owning one too?!

First I need some acreage. My current "lot size" is measured in square feet, not acres. :laughing:

Well then, I guess you'll have to settle, for now, for a toy tractor!
I had to wait until I was 57 to get my first real tractor; and I had 8 acres since 1986.
TBN can help you find acreage - we're real good at helping TBN members spend their 'moola'....:tractor:
