Most importantly it would be a beast off road.

Would you buy it?

The ride is rough on the 75" wheelbase, and frankly not too much room for even a decent sized cooler in the back!! I'm sure modern technology could soften the ride but the short wheelbase isn't that great for rock crawling.

I'm not thinking too many folks would need something that small.
