FOUR suicide doors?

With the big Gardner it would have plenty of torque but the single drive wheels might limit how much you could use?

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

What do you know about it, Paul? Not sure how accurate F 350 is, it looks heavier than that.

Looks like a giant version of those stainless Jeeps they have in the Philippines.

There is a Jeepney in all its stainless steel glory about 20km from Crystal Brook Jarrod . . .

That's cool.
I was thinking not so much the jeepney, as what they call an "owner" jeep, that is; constructed by the owner. They are the family car and most are based on (I think) the M38A1 type. The running gear comes from whatever older car (Toyota / Datsun / Mitsubishi) you can find.
You buy the body and chassis new. They are a lot less popular than they used to be and you can't really make them properly with modern front wheel drive running gear. I have only seen one over here.

Jarrod.
