We have to thank BangShift.com forum member (and college chum!) Paul Lafayette for the tip on this bonus eBay Pick of the Week. We believe this to be the most off-road-capable Jeep Forward Control truck ever. It has been battle tested as a competitor in the hellacious Four Wheeler Magazine Top Truck Challenge. The Four Wheeler site says this rig had more reader votes than any other “by a wide margin.”
We don’t know how the truck fared in that competition, but we can say that this thing has all the parts and pieces to make it an unstoppable force on nearly any terrain thrown before it. There’s planty of power on tap with a 520hp (modern) LS6 mill. There’s plenty of axle strength with Dana 60 units front and back, and there’s more than decent ground clearance with big 44-inch Swampers on all four corners.
We like the part where the seller tells potential buyers that the truck is road legal and passed the state inspection in New York, but he wouldn’t recommend the truck as a daily driver. We think it would be the perfect whip to take to drop the kids off at school with. They’d need to throw a rope ladder down to get out, but the soccer moms in their mini-vans wouldn’t know what to make of this big fellow.
We searched high and low for video, but failed to unearth any. Note that, in the photo below, it’s climbing a wall at a coin-op car wash.
