6 wheeler

I'm not a big fan of 6 wheel off roders, but this does look good.

Now, that I like...
I wonder if it would actually be any good off road though, as it becomes very long like that.

Exactly why I have never really rated 6 wheelers, the length and chance of getting stuck especially with 6x4s. This one is 6x6 though so has a better chance.

Some more pics

Here's the site by the way.

Depends what type of offroad

Would not be very good a Slindon or Boxgrove far too long, and 6 wheels spinning once the axles have hit dirt is just 6 wheels spinning, Rick

If theres not too many trees or tight obstacles it will be pretty amazing offroad. The length will help in some circumstances.

Yes if all axles hit dirt it may stop it but it's less likely as you have 6x6.

mmmm

Slindon and Boxgrove have many deep rutted sections that only big wheels will get over, and many short steep hills with tight tops that only a SWB will clear, now you bring the rear axles up to 2 foot from the front axle that would be good, Rick

Must be a tricky bit of kit to drive the second axle
