roxor

[plumbstraight]

I just picked up a new Roxor. Dimention wise it is same width, same length wheelbase as my CJ7. Looks just like a 50's cj5. Has a diesel with 5sp and transferr case. Other than the grill it is the same body. There is some conflict about putting it on the road and comes under the sxs class. Mine came with windshield, top, 8000lb warn and I had it chipped. Gives it more power and takes the speed limiter off it.
Took it out for a short spin and love it. Rides better than the cj7. Better brakes and much quieter.

Looks like street tires instead of the normal atv tires.
How does it perform - peppy? I’ve been thinking of trading my lntimidator in on one. What do they sell for if you don’t mind disclosing.

Check out the Roxor forum. Some have picked them up for about 14000, some 18000. The high end are 23000. Stock they are 62hp. By chipping them it takes the speed limiter off and boost hp to over 100. It is peppy and drives very smooth, no vibration. I haven't had it over 45, but anything under that you are still in 3rd gear. At 23 In 3rd you are only turning 1250 rpm. It would be lugging in 4th. I wish I had checked these out before buying the honda sxs. The Roxor is a 200,000 mi rig or more with good maintenance, no different than a pickup. No plastic, is built of steel and has the same measurements as a CJ5. As far pep, it is good. I have mine chipped and I would recommend doing that.

I see they are available with an auto trans now too...

No locking diffs, not a lot of suspension travel or ground clearance if you want to take it off road. Depends what you use it for.

That thing is just plain cool.

Good article. The 4600 class is very restrictive on modifications so the vehicles are mostly stock. He did beef up the axles to support the mandated 35" tires though.

It will be interesting to see how the states fit them into there existing trail systems - is it a "SxS" or a "Jeep." (for the lack of a better term). Here they are not road legal (would be GREAT it if was), so I don't know how our trail system is going to restrict them yet. Hopefully they get lumped in with SxS's (I think they should since they are not road legal) then everyone can use them on all our state trails! Cant wait to see some out on the trails around here and go for a ride!

Yes, as I understand it, they have beefed up axles plus portal gearboxes on the ends.
