First one I've seen in the area and we get a tremendous amount of hard core keep activity heading up to the rubicon.

I don't frequent the Jeep forums so I wouldn't now that they are a common modification. From what I saw, the finer details looked more like a bad reciprocating saw butch job on this particular example.

I've seen some of the Ford Bronco II's (1983 to 1990) on Craigslist that had their tops sawed off, the stubs of the rear pillars still there, not ground down and welded over. Now that's rough'n it.

I like the Russian fake hummer better than the real thing, the proportions and stance are spot on in my opinion.

I wonder what it's based on, looks to be capable.

I did an image search on "Kalistrat4x4"

https://www.drive2.ru/l/248055/




Looks to be the same vehicle, I had no idea that it was that small.

Maybe I like it even more now, certainly will fit into a parking space better than the real thing.
