Part of me says "That's Frickin' SWEET!" the other part says, what the hell would you use it for???

Would make a good work vehicle for reaching remote locations (better if it was diesel) but as a trail vehicle I think it would be way to high for any kind of off camber moves.

I think it looks pretty cool. It would be a blast to drive but I agree, off camber turns could be a little scary!

I would buy one today if they built it. Too bad it will never be built.

Reminded me of the Unimog or Pinzie, maybe a Land Rover FC101, but downsized to something more reasonable.

I'm not sure I have a use for something like that, but I'd like to see what others would do with it. I bet as a 2-person overlanding vehicle it would be pretty slick. A diesel would be icing on the cake!

Put four doors on it and I may be able to convince the wife.

You would definitely need a stinger on front when you have to hit the brakes in a traffic jam (endo). Then just crawl in back and set her back down.

I think it would be awesome on a farm. As a regular daily driver, I would need a backseat though. The original FC150 had a short bed and there was a long bed FC170. I can see positives and negatives to both. It would be tough to decide!

X2 this would be a great farm vehicle, just add a PTO and a diesel
