That would be the t-rexx, its a v-10 ram on rockwells.

That lexus is far from what I would consider worthless. The guy who builds those things has a thing for bling rims and I dont know why. But other than that the craftsmanship is great. He builds LC buggies and wanted a tow rig, that was more comfortable and better looking than a big 3 pickup. Oh ya, its got a tuned duramax in it too :drool:

Eh. Really half-assed that. If they has extended the entire body work back then it would have been cool, but nay. The SUV/truck theme just don't cut it.

That is what makes most 6x6 conversions cool, the overall extension of the bodywork. From the looks of it, the chassis and drivetrain work is the easy part. Its figuring out how to extend the body that is a pain!

the duramax is the best part about the whole thing. I really dont care about the 6x6 conversion as much as the diesel. He just needs to do something with a front bumper and that giant intercooler.

If you read the thread you see he didn't want to extend the body, he wanted to be able to haul adults and their gear inside, and be able to tow a gooseneck trailer or put his dog in the bed. He built it to suit his needs.

No way dude- That's just plain f-ing stupid. I haven't seen a Rover guy do anything that dumb to a Rover.


you haven't been around Rovers long then have you :D

There are plenty of 6x6 range rovers over in the old country - I have a feeling there may even be at least one over here.

In the "old world" they're used for everything from fire engines to tow trucks to railway maint. vehicles. I've seen so many pics of modified Rovers. Over here they're "status" symbols to some and just plain transportation to others, so that may be why you haven't seen many crazy mods.
