Only in Texas

I know ya’ll like cars here. I saw this today. A few times I’ve also seen this 6 wheeled Brabus, it’s a super expensive Mercedes G-Wagon. The next time I see it I’ll try to get a picture of that one.

But here it is, I don’t think it’s very practical though.

I feel as if there should be a bunch of German WWII type officers riding in that......

No the German Mercedes is not pictured. Sorry, my post was confusing.

This is some Jeep that someone had the bright idea to modify.

 

[Wvfarrier]

The company that does the 6 wheel mod charges over $100G

more $$ than brains

I could buy a lot of 500 Linebaugh custom Ruger's for 100K.

I like the bunch in Las Vegas they will take a Challenger Hellcat Demon Redeye, take the body off and replace it with '70 Charger carbon fiber body. Only $300,000 keeping me from owning one!!

Yeah I know, it's not confusing I know what it is....I'm just saying it resembles those old WWII half track thingys that my Son builds models of.

Needs a gun turret.

Back in 1997, Dodge made this concept truck, the T-Rex 6x6

 

[GasGuzzler]

So dumb.
I am ashamed.
Bet the owner is not from Texas.

Only problem is, you couldn't drive them around and look cool!

 

[cutlassguy1976]

I can't imagine the tire wear they'll see on that tandem axle with such a short wheelbase

Oh! You know he isn’t. Dallas has had such exponential growth in the last 10 or 15 years.

Not sure where everyone is coming from, but they all seem to be moving here.

Yea folks have to destroy a perfectly good thing they do that with anything a shame

 

[peachhead]

Why not, it's only money.

 

[Randyzzz]

If I have that kind of “car money” I’d be driving a Vigilante Grand Wagoneer Hellcat Redeye…

Hey, I put dual rear wheels on my CJ-8 for a while. Practical? No. Fun? Yes. They even made plastic "fenders" to keep it legal. Gotta look for some photos.

And yes, it sucked off road.

Holy sh*t. I would live to have that. But at $375,000 I'll have to save up a while.

 

[turd]

I want a Vigilante! Now I have a goal for the money I'm gonna win in the lottery! But they keep raising the ticket prices so I can't afford to play every week.

There's nothing perfectly good about a Jeep.

Wonder if you can get parts for those old square Grand Wagoneers still?

 

[vito]

I guess I really am old. I was musing the other day about what car I might buy if I win the lottery, and the first thing that came to mind was a decked out Escalade.

A Jeep is a perfectly good “starting point”. Sort of like an AR-15.

There is a growing industry providing parts for the older Grand Wagoneer’s. BJ’s Off-road for one. I’ve owned about 10 of them, maybe more. I still have a stash of small parts somewhere…

Is JC Whitney still in business? If they are, you could probably get from them.

 

[Kevin]

A while back I remember seeing some magazine article about this company, I think it was here in Texas, and they restored those old Grand Wagoneers to showroom condition.

It wasn’t that long ago, I bet they are still around.
