Title: Now THIS is an SUV !
Post by: Ripsnort on January 14, 2002, 09:29:14 AM

Well, technically its a truck...
MAXIMOG!!! (http://www.maximog.com/) It's an "expiditionary vehicle system" based off a MB UniMog that comes with a custom, enclosed trailer and a BMW R1150GS.

It weighs 13240 lbs., has a ground clearence of 15", is powerd by a GM LS-1, has two gas tanks,                         leather, multiple anti-theft systems, "Area Surveillance radar", "Dimming and heated rear view
mirrors (folding side arm mounted) with motorized pan/tilt adjustment", a custom 4sp AT,                         Refrigerator/food warmer/coffee maker, Heated and cooled drink holders, 12 disk CD changer, and
enough RF gear to run a small airport. It also has two air horns producing 137 dB at 15 ft. "*
Note -- Due to high sound pressure levels only for use off road when no personnel are nearby."

It is completely US street and CA emmissions legal. Thankfully, it "...is a Truck not an SUV and requires a driver?s license for a heavy (over 12,500lbs) vehicle with air brakes." Who knows,
maby we'll see a rise in CDL holders just so they can drive this thing.

Currently this is a unique vehicle, but the site lists contact information for the company that
designed/built it so you can order your own.

Bah Rip, it looks like crap. And it seems to me like it will tip on the next big bump.

Nothing can compare to the Hummer.

I'm sure, if we ask, the Arabs would buy these gas hogs for us.  It should keep us kissing their ass's for another 30 years.

The more you make the SUVs look rediculously oversized, the more you pollute the roads with soccer moms who can't drive worth a damn because they are too busy yakking on their cell phone and not paying attention to what the hell they are doing... stop this madness now!

<--- used to pheer jumping out the back of a Mog with full pack and SLR in hand (its a looooooong way down)

Mog's are cool. NZ Army sold off a whole lot five weeks ago - went for about US$7000-$9000 each.

Now I just hunt down lil Subaru's with my Bighorn :D
