    I'll stick with the taco. Looks good, but way to wide for good trail riding.

    I'd love to mod the everlovingshit out of that 4.1 diesel to make some more power though.

    The thing weighs three tons and has the same power output as a 4-cyl Taco. Not really usable as a daily driver. At least the Hummer H1Alpha eventually had a Duramax engine that made decent power.

    Would be cool if you could order the body and build a custom 4x4 with FJ80 axles.
