Lot of people with negative opinions. If you are looking for a licensed version of classic jeep with basics and enjoy the gear shifts also lot of hauling in your farms with some fun driving in the woods or dirt, this is the vehicle. If you are not into those, no one's forcing you to buy them. Mahindra launched the vehicle as a SxS with additional capabilities and they are not looking for a big chunk of the market. Atleast they are building the SKD in the USA instead of importing plastic computers on wheels into the country. Also wondering how many of these people would speed in the rough terrain its meant to be. I remember people making fun of Japanese cars initially and look where they are now.
It's it the vehicle though? Until it can be registered for legal road use I just don't see the point. Sure, you can tow 3,500 lbs, but where, off-road only? I don't know about you, but there's nothing I can begin to even think of that would need to be towed off-road only in that weight range.

@@lawnmowerdudeeven better if smaller. I won't be able to afford one anyhow until these start getting dents and rust so no matter anyhow😂. Be my time for a old wrangler if anything anyway
It’s a Jeep, Let’s not make it more complicated than it needs to be. It’s almost the exact same as my 64 CJ minus the modern brakes and the diesel motor.
and thats whats awesome about it...you can buy a new "CJ" without the 40-50 years worth of rust, wear and tear, leaks etc. Just take it out and beat on it without having to run a nice CJ into the ground.
Why is it so hard to comprehend these vehicles for what they are. Old school CJ's with diesel engines and that's about it. Only considered side by side because they're not street legal yet. Full framed, solid axles , leaf springs. Duh. Been making this same basic design since the 1940's.
The ROXOR is more of a JEEP than anything else. Their patent is from the 40's at the earliest. Soldiers would've loved it far more than what they had in WW2. To call it a SideXSide and then compare it to what are really true SideXSide's are not comparable. The Roxor is its own class.
One tuner with the UA-cam channel Duramaxtuner, already has one of these tuned up to 200 horsepower with an ECU tune, upgraded turbo, intercooler, injectors and fuel pump. They didn’t say how much torque it was putting out but if they got it up to 200 horsepower I imagine the torque is well over 300 ft lbs.
trying to talk my dad into getting one of these instead of getting another gator or other side by side they are insanely cool we farm so it would be alot more useful than something belt driven. even though i love the traditional side by side
I love the idea of this machine but I wish other companies implemented the manual stick shift. I think driving a Honda pioneer, can am outlander, or Kawasaki teryx would be a blast with the stick!
Maybe some city cops would want to be heroes. Out in the countryside, a deputy would probably just see a farmer off to check a field. There’s lots of non-street legal vehicles in my area but nobody cares. Our traffic is cows and elk, not cars
Norman Haney Maybe it’s like that where you live, I use mine all over where I live. And I don’t need it plated. Same as my Rhino was. Best money I ever spent and I won't have to replace or do a bunch of repairs it after it has 10,000 miles on it.
Same here Norman. Can't register it for street use. It's too heavy and the engine is too big to be recognized as a SSV. No road use and no public trail use. I'm sure it's great in places that allow atv's and full side vehicles to use the same trails
@@muddybadgers5205 I guess you guys are stuck with the standard sxs's that are out there. I'm glad I don't live where things are that restricted. Saskatchewan gets cold, but I have a cab with a heater in my Roxor.
I traded my sxs in and bought one yeah the 50 mph thing wasn't cutting it for me sooooo I had it deleted and tuned it now bumps close to 100 mph with 120 horses with 35 inch tractor tires on 6 1/6 inch lift.
I want one so badly i bet there a lot i fun for work and play. But my crazy gearhead brain says what if it had a small block 350 or a 302 v8 with a supercharged on it
I had a fully built suzuki samurai for much less and much more capability. I like that this is new and all but its use is very limited without being street legal.
Neiither is any other SxS is street legal. I have one and don't need it street legal, neither do any of the farmers or potash mines that bought them in my area. Not everyone needs the same thing. Also, if it was street legal, then it would none allowed on the trails I my area. Even if you don't plate, if it is a street vehicle, they don't allow them on the trails here. Perfect for me; for someone else, maybe not.
The Mahindra Roxor too closely resembles the Jeep CJ-7, according to the United States International Trade Commission. Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot ruled the Indian firm is guilty of trademark infringement, and recommended the implementation of a cease-and-desist order. While many companies licensed the Jeep CJ's basic design over the years for sales abroad, Mahindra having held its license for decades, the Roxor has only recently gone on sale in this country. Judge Elliot concluded the Roxor pushes the envelope too far by violating what Jeep calls its "trade dress." In simple terms, it looks too much like a Jeep for a vehicle not made by the brand
Come help me get my wood out of the bush with your TJ and can you fit 100 gallon water tank in it? I hope you're not wider than 62" if you plan on helping, you might lose some plastic if you are. How does your snow plow mount? Also, the last thing I want is street legal, that would cost me $1400 per year in insurance for on road vs $300 for my off-road insurance. I have a truck for on the road. I bought mine to replace my other utility SxS and to use as a utility SxS and I love it. A TJ wouldn't even come close to fitting what I do with mine. On the road and mall crawling, yes, definatley a TJ, but for me, I'll keep my Roxor. Plus I love the diesel, no diesel in a TJ.
Nice video the only thing that stops me buying one is it is over priced for some thing you can only use off road so you still need to own another car/truck and one that will be able to trailer this Roxor to places so costing $$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Same price as any other large SxS that you can't drive on the road, and at least it's not all plastic with an over worked 1000cc gas engine that you might get 10,000 miles out of on a good day. Most traditional SxS's are toast at 10,000 miles or less. Some get a few more. I'll keep my Roxor.
And all the electrical components on this are supplied by boshe. A diesel mechanic went over the motor build and was very impressed with is simple and robust design.
Mahindra roxor same look like Mahindra Thar, Indian Mahindra Thar more powerful than roxor,thar have 2.5L CRDE diesel engine,It's produce 105bhp,245nm torque, with 100mph top speed
Jason Hubbard how are that at hauling a 100 gallon tank or towing a cord of green wood out of a valley or pushing snow? I’m sure they are an ok unit, but wouldn’t work for me.
I assume you mean an older used one with typical used vehicle problems. No thanks. I'll keep my new Roxor. I love it and already have 6500 miles on it and just getting broken in, not broken.
TlcBister a Toyota like a 85 4Runner 22RE rock crawler style with some 42s tire and a sas swap you less then 10k not just that it street legal and could haul stuff like a boat and go in 5ft river crossing and rubicon trails that thing is just a waste of money lol
Thao's Family The last thing I would want is some 35 year old truck with old truck problems that I have to start swapping stuff on and the last thing I need is street legal. I have a truck for that. I bought it as an off road unit for off road and I don’t do rock crawling or driving in 5’ of water, not my thing. If it was street legal in my jurisdiction, it would cost me $1200 a year for plates vs $200 for off road insurance. No brainer for me. We can not register an on road vehicle as off road in Saskatchewan. Nothing against folks that like fixing old stuff, I don’t, I’ll keep my new diesel Roxor that someone else has not hacked up. Thanks anyway.
It's a Roxor, not a jeep. Jeep is made by FCA, Roxor is made by Mahindra. Roxor has a diesel, Jeep is gas. Roxor is off road only. Jeep is a mall crawler for the most part.
SxS can be tagged as a motorcycle so it legal to drive on the streets! For $15g why not just buy a wrangler? Sports like $25g and you can drive it Too, through ,and from any trail Anywhere? You can't even drive this on the street?
Cause not everyone is a fan of Jeeps like you. You can't drive any other SxS on a road, so why should you be able to drive a Roxor on the road. I have my truck for on the road. Not everyone drives to trails, some of use them right where we live, like me and we are allowed on backroads. Built and sold as a SxS and the same price as most SxS's or even less than lots. I love my SxS Roxor, use it everyday.
@@TlcBister I don't know where you got your info but SxS tags can be changed over to motorcycle so you can 100% drive them on the street if you want to? And saying your not a fan of jeep? It's a mini jeep basically exactly the same thing just smaller and less capable? This is only my opinion if its something you like and want you shouldn't let anything discourage you? It's your money buy what makes you happy! I drive a Truck not a jeep I think its a cool little thing but to much money when you stack it up against other Toys available at that price? Spider, slingshot ,Ryker ,Hotwing ,Vanderhall T-rex Maverick x3 all less money and street legal?
Brian trerotola Not in Canada where I am. And anywhere a SxS can be tagged for use on a street, so can a Roxor. Not sure where you are getting your info. A Roxor is more capable than a plastic Wrangler that is too wide and heavy and I don't want doors. Wranglers make poor SxS's. I’d come out of the bush with banged up panels and no mirrors. How much wood can a Spyder haul out of the bush? Don’t need street legal, I need a work horse. Yes some units are cheaper, they are also less capable and worthless in 5 years. I’ll keep my Roxor. It’s the best money I have spent in a long time and it will outlast any of those other SxS you mentioned. I don't have to buy another one in 5 years like I have been doing. Last one I'm buying. If you get 15,000 miles out of those, they are done and no body wants them and it takes many repairs to get them that high. Dealers don’t even want them on trade after 5000 miles. They are throw away machines. Just try selling one with high mileage, you have to give it away. I’ll take my 4 cylinder turbo diesel over an over revved noisy, hot, gas, plastic, melt-a-belt any day. No Thanks.
@@TlcBister jeep doors come off there are optional mirrors and body armor if you want them? I'm in the U.S. maybe that can be tagged as a motorcycle I haven't seen that done yet? If you like it and it works for you that's great! I'm coming from it's a toy to play with! Other than that there is no point to have something like this for most people? But if you like it that's great I hope it last and service you well my friend.
@@fingers215 Why all the question marks after everything you type? Yeah, thats what I want to do is take the doors off when I want to use it or buy a bunch of extra stuff to make it capable for my use. I'd like to see my 120 gallon water tank in the back of a Wrangler with my wood trailer behind it. lol It is a toy for some. That's the whole point. Lots of hunters, farmers and ranchers have them as work units. Mines are buying them to replace their current units under ground. Rock crawler guys are building them up as toys. No point in having any SxS then if your point is 'no need to have toys'. That's is the point for a lot of folks, it is their TOY. Some folks just buy them and leave them as is. I just get a kick out of you telling them to buy a Wrangler or not to buy it if it is just a toy. The last thing I want is someones used Wrangler that would do half of what I need, now that would be a waste of money. I'll stick with my ROXOR. I have just over 8200 kilometres on it in the last year with lots more to come and many years.
They all are for some people, not everyone is cheap. I love mine. I feel I got good value for my money, better than that plastic stuff out there. Be the last one I buy, I won't have to replace it after 10,000 miles.
@@kurtmuzio3077 I said "used" for a reason. Simply because it would make more sense. If you'd rather spend $20K on a Roxor over a built crawler then that's personal preference but I'm definitely not in that niche crowd.

I grew up in the 60’s an 70’s with rustic of bangers. This is the modern upgraded version
I love Mahindra suv and car
I like Scorpio..xuv 500..tuv100
I saw one on the road in Texas last week.
It’s a Jeep, Let’s not make it more complicated than it needs to be. It’s almost the exact same as my 64 CJ minus the modern brakes and the diesel motor.
and thats whats awesome about it...you can buy a new "CJ" without the 40-50 years worth of rust, wear and tear, leaks etc. Just take it out and beat on it without having to run a nice CJ into the ground.
Why is it so hard to comprehend these vehicles for what they are. Old school CJ's with diesel engines and that's about it. Only considered side by side because they're not street legal yet. Full framed, solid axles , leaf springs. Duh. Been making this same basic design since the 1940's.
The ROXOR is more of a JEEP than anything else. Their patent is from the 40's at the earliest. Soldiers would've loved it far more than what they had in WW2. To call it a SideXSide and then compare it to what are really true SideXSide's are not comparable. The Roxor is its own class.
One tuner with the UA-cam channel Duramaxtuner, already has one of these tuned up to 200 horsepower with an ECU tune, upgraded turbo, intercooler, injectors and fuel pump. They didn’t say how much torque it was putting out but if they got it up to 200 horsepower I imagine the torque is well over 300 ft lbs.
Thanks for that great shot of the engine!
Trust me! Mahindra tractors feed 1.3 billion of us Indians
trying to talk my dad into getting one of these instead of getting another gator or other side by side they are insanely cool we farm so it would be alot more useful than something belt driven. even though i love the traditional side by side
what you call "SSV" in north america is called " a Car" in Europe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd buy one with a Cab, heat, variable wipers and roll down windows.
I love the idea of this machine but I wish other companies implemented the manual stick shift. I think driving a Honda pioneer, can am outlander, or Kawasaki teryx would be a blast with the stick!
Spoiler alert: it is easy to reach $30k quickly when configuring it yourself.
People be like : I want army green, white, red, carbon black....
.
Me : keep those, I want yellow😘😘
Yellow would be a sweet color. I’d do green
YOU ADVERTISED ROXOR BETTER THAN MAHINDRA. LOVED ROXOR REVIEW 💪🏻
Thanks for the review, looking forward to see a more thorough review of the vehicle where they are meant to be traversed.
love it....very affordable and easy to maintain
betcha you could drive this on the road with out many looks from cops at all lol
Maybe some city cops would want to be heroes. Out in the countryside, a deputy would probably just see a farmer off to check a field.
There’s lots of non-street legal vehicles in my area but nobody cares. Our traffic is cows and elk, not cars
India's pride.. mahindra, Tata, bajaj
These things can be jacked up to 295 lb-ft.
Can't be driven on the road. Can't be driven on the trails. What am I supposed to do with it?
Norman Haney Maybe it’s like that where you live, I use mine all over where I live. And I don’t need it plated. Same as my Rhino was. Best money I ever spent and I won't have to replace or do a bunch of repairs it after it has 10,000 miles on it.
Same here Norman. Can't register it for street use. It's too heavy and the engine is too big to be recognized as a SSV. No road use and no public trail use. I'm sure it's great in places that allow atv's and full side vehicles to use the same trails
@@muddybadgers5205 I guess you guys are stuck with the standard sxs's that are out there. I'm glad I don't live where things are that restricted. Saskatchewan gets cold, but I have a cab with a heater in my Roxor.
Indian product❤❤❤
People tend to forget that its a cj2a so there are tons of after market support for them
Mahindra SCORPIO, Mahindra BOLERO, Mahindra THAR, Mahindra XUV 500 & XUV 300!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️ VALUE FOR MONEY SUV'S!
I traded my sxs in and bought one yeah the 50 mph thing wasn't cutting it for me sooooo I had it deleted and tuned it now bumps close to 100 mph with 120 horses with 35 inch tractor tires on 6 1/6 inch lift.
Mahindra does it better than jeep in bringing this quality product roxor will win many hearts too
Its so amazing i love my roxor
Mahindra will last you for the lifetime.
Mahindra Thar 2021 looks good 🔥🔥
It's like what it should to be. You want to have fun but don't want to die. You need only that much power.
This might be a stupid question but, is it road legal?
No, sold as a UTV/SxS. Some states have laws that do allow SxS's on certain roads.
I wonder if you can buy an old military jeep tub and put on it 🤔
This is my India company i proud 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Well presented, though short! Enjoy my Thar very much.
I think you guys dropped the ball on this review.
Didn't go through any mud, didn't pull/drag anything, no whoops, no jumps, no hill climbs, no rocks.
I have one of these and love it, but you are not going to be do whoops and jumps in it. It's more of a work horse than a trail ripper.
You've got something on your chin.
I want one so badly i bet there a lot i fun for work and play. But my crazy gearhead brain says what if it had a small block 350 or a 302 v8 with a supercharged on it
If you put it on the Roxor it would a rocket
Why nobody is replacing that ugly grill with the thar's grill 😡
Simple vehichle but powerfull use
Proud of Mahindra 🇮🇳
new gen roxor (thar) recently lunched in india
Mahindra is a 10 Billion dollars company
I had a fully built suzuki samurai for much less and much more capability. I like that this is new and all but its use is very limited without being street legal.
Neiither is any other SxS is street legal. I have one and don't need it street legal, neither do any of the farmers or potash mines that bought them in my area. Not everyone needs the same thing. Also, if it was street legal, then it would none allowed on the trails I my area. Even if you don't plate, if it is a street vehicle, they don't allow them on the trails here. Perfect for me; for someone else, maybe not.
First stick shift in the industry is the Oreion Reeper, not the Roxor
The Mahindra Roxor too closely resembles the Jeep CJ-7, according to the United States International Trade Commission. Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot ruled the Indian firm is guilty of trademark infringement, and recommended the implementation of a cease-and-desist order.
While many companies licensed the Jeep CJ's basic design over the years for sales abroad, Mahindra having held its license for decades, the Roxor has only recently gone on sale in this country. Judge Elliot concluded the Roxor pushes the envelope too far by violating what Jeep calls its "trade dress." In simple terms, it looks too much like a Jeep for a vehicle not made by the brand
Is it available in Australia?
Should be street legal if scooters can be street legal so should this
My TJ is way more capable and the cost is close. One is street legal with AC.
Come help me get my wood out of the bush with your TJ and can you fit 100 gallon water tank in it? I hope you're not wider than 62" if you plan on helping, you might lose some plastic if you are. How does your snow plow mount? Also, the last thing I want is street legal, that would cost me $1400 per year in insurance for on road vs $300 for my off-road insurance. I have a truck for on the road. I bought mine to replace my other utility SxS and to use as a utility SxS and I love it. A TJ wouldn't even come close to fitting what I do with mine. On the road and mall crawling, yes, definatley a TJ, but for me, I'll keep my Roxor. Plus I love the diesel, no diesel in a TJ.
What's a TJ?
Can it be registered as a Class II ATV? I suspect it's too heavy. :/
Probably, with all that chassis and leaf Springs, lot of metal .
It weighs 3000 lbs, as much as a compact car.
Would take more time to review a pack of gum
Add .. crazy high miles to the gallon
Nice video the only thing that stops me buying one is it is over priced for some thing you can only use off road so you still need to own another car/truck and one that will be able to trailer this Roxor to places so costing $$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Same price as any other large SxS that you can't drive on the road, and at least it's not all plastic with an over worked 1000cc gas engine that you might get 10,000 miles out of on a good day. Most traditional SxS's are toast at 10,000 miles or less. Some get a few more. I'll keep my Roxor.
Can u put 44 mud tires on it
With enough mdification.
You can only put 4 tires on this
@@9184nr LMAO!!!
@Riley Berndt can you put 3 tires on it
Riley Berndt well maybe 5 with the spare.
Lol you can buy an old jeep and fix it up for less. Street legal as well.
NPC J not up here! Will need a new body and frame, plus rebuilt running gear. And probably missing papers.
But that never be ROXOR
sure, on paper thats "cheaper", but whats your labor/time worth?
Mahindra makes good bare-bones tractors but are absolutely horrible when it comes to electronics and electrical
Good thing this doesn't have any of that. I have one, 5500 klms, issue free.
And all the electrical components on this are supplied by boshe. A diesel mechanic went over the motor build and was very impressed with is simple and robust design.
I like the vehicle. But isn't there some kind of infringement issue here on Jeep patents?
Licensed by Willy's in 1947 and have been building ever since.
Willys licensed it way back in the day. Reason it looks like a clone, cause it is. Great one at that.
SWEET
wish mahindra launch 2020 mahindra thar in usa
Prices??
15k new, plus add ons can get well above 20k
Seems like you tried really hard not to say "Jeep" at all
if only it was cheaper
Mahindra roxor same look like Mahindra Thar, Indian Mahindra Thar more powerful than roxor,thar have 2.5L CRDE diesel engine,It's produce 105bhp,245nm torque, with 100mph top speed
Kalpesh Suthar that’s a coffin ⚰️ on wheels in terms of security concerns
@@anoopkl4u on what grounds are you saying that? Is it tested
@@Himanshusingh-lv1od haha it never been tested and that's why
*Cheap indian Jeep But Suzuki Jimney is not Allowed wtf*
Mini willys copy?
I would choose the orion sand reaper. It's street legal and way faster
Jason Hubbard how are that at hauling a 100 gallon tank or towing a cord of green wood out of a valley or pushing snow? I’m sure they are an ok unit, but wouldn’t work for me.
@@TlcBister the 4wd models do ok but they are more focused towards sport riding
Nice but with 13k-15k you could build your self a nice Toyota crawler
I assume you mean an older used one with typical used vehicle problems. No thanks. I'll keep my new Roxor. I love it and already have 6500 miles on it and just getting broken in, not broken.
TlcBister a Toyota like a 85 4Runner 22RE rock crawler style with some 42s tire and a sas swap you less then 10k not just that it street legal and could haul stuff like a boat and go in 5ft river crossing and rubicon trails that thing is just a waste of money lol
Thao's Family The last thing I would want is some 35 year old truck with old truck problems that I have to start swapping stuff on and the last thing I need is street legal. I have a truck for that. I bought it as an off road unit for off road and I don’t do rock crawling or driving in 5’ of water, not my thing. If it was street legal in my jurisdiction, it would cost me $1200 a year for plates vs $200 for off road insurance. No brainer for me. We can not register an on road vehicle as off road in Saskatchewan. Nothing against folks that like fixing old stuff, I don’t, I’ll keep my new diesel Roxor that someone else has not hacked up. Thanks anyway.
It’s a Jeep
It's a Roxor, not a jeep. Jeep is made by FCA, Roxor is made by Mahindra. Roxor has a diesel, Jeep is gas. Roxor is off road only. Jeep is a mall crawler for the most part.
Or he could have said it is like driving a willys jeep.
I want one lol
They also owns french 🙄pegeout motorcycles company
🇮🇳♥️
SxS can be tagged as a motorcycle so it legal to drive on the streets! For $15g why not just buy a wrangler? Sports like $25g and you can drive it
Too, through ,and from any trail Anywhere? You can't even drive this on the street?
Cause not everyone is a fan of Jeeps like you. You can't drive any other SxS on a road, so why should you be able to drive a Roxor on the road. I have my truck for on the road. Not everyone drives to trails, some of use them right where we live, like me and we are allowed on backroads. Built and sold as a SxS and the same price as most SxS's or even less than lots. I love my SxS Roxor, use it everyday.
@@TlcBister I don't know where you got your info but SxS tags can be changed over to motorcycle so you can 100% drive them on the street if you want to? And saying your not a fan of jeep? It's a mini jeep basically exactly the same thing just smaller and less capable? This is only my opinion if its something you like and want you shouldn't let anything discourage you? It's your money buy what makes you happy! I drive a Truck not a jeep I think its a cool little thing but to much money when you stack it up against other Toys available at that price? Spider, slingshot ,Ryker ,Hotwing ,Vanderhall T-rex Maverick x3 all less money and street legal?
Brian trerotola Not in Canada where I am. And anywhere a SxS can be tagged for use on a street, so can a Roxor. Not sure where you are getting your info. A Roxor is more capable than a plastic Wrangler that is too wide and heavy and I don't want doors. Wranglers make poor SxS's. I’d come out of the bush with banged up panels and no mirrors. How much wood can a Spyder haul out of the bush? Don’t need street legal, I need a work horse. Yes some units are cheaper, they are also less capable and worthless in 5 years. I’ll keep my Roxor. It’s the best money I have spent in a long time and it will outlast any of those other SxS you mentioned. I don't have to buy another one in 5 years like I have been doing. Last one I'm buying. If you get 15,000 miles out of those, they are done and no body wants them and it takes many repairs to get them that high. Dealers don’t even want them on trade after 5000 miles. They are throw away machines. Just try selling one with high mileage, you have to give it away. I’ll take my 4 cylinder turbo diesel over an over revved noisy, hot, gas, plastic, melt-a-belt any day. No Thanks.
@@TlcBister jeep doors come off there are optional mirrors and body armor if you want them? I'm in the U.S. maybe that can be tagged as a motorcycle I haven't seen that done yet? If you like it and it works for you that's great! I'm coming from it's a toy to play with! Other than that there is no point to have something like this for most people? But if you like it that's great I hope it last and service you well my friend.
@@fingers215 Why all the question marks after everything you type? Yeah, thats what I want to do is take the doors off when I want to use it or buy a bunch of extra stuff to make it capable for my use. I'd like to see my 120 gallon water tank in the back of a Wrangler with my wood trailer behind it. lol It is a toy for some. That's the whole point. Lots of hunters, farmers and ranchers have them as work units. Mines are buying them to replace their current units under ground. Rock crawler guys are building them up as toys. No point in having any SxS then if your point is 'no need to have toys'. That's is the point for a lot of folks, it is their TOY. Some folks just buy them and leave them as is. I just get a kick out of you telling them to buy a Wrangler or not to buy it if it is just a toy. The last thing I want is someones used Wrangler that would do half of what I need, now that would be a waste of money. I'll stick with my ROXOR. I have just over 8200 kilometres on it in the last year with lots more to come and many years.
uuhhmm not the first stick shift sxs...YXZ
Thats a paddle shift, this is a true stick shift, old school.
@@TlcBister no just the ss is. they come in a stick too
A sequential shift transmission with a stick is not a true “old school stick shift”, not even close. Sorry. Good try though.
Way to much money
They all are for some people, not everyone is cheap. I love mine. I feel I got good value for my money, better than that plastic stuff out there. Be the last one I buy, I won't have to replace it after 10,000 miles.
I call b.s. you CAN buy a Jeep for half the price of that thing that IS street legal. My buddy just got a nice CJ for 6K. Get your crap together guys.
not new you can't! Its the jeep Jeep should have built!
@@williamcooper3142 I never said new now did I Skippy. Jeep did build one very close to that back in WW2.
@@misterrobato8270 you called bs! They never said used
so for 6k he got something at least 40 years old...
You could buy a used turn-key crawler with D60's and a V8 for the same price of a new Roxor. So... no, thanks.
key word, used...you're getting someone elses home-built project thats got years of beatings on it, and all of the problems that go with it.
@@kurtmuzio3077
I said "used" for a reason. Simply because it would make more sense. If you'd rather spend $20K on a Roxor over a built crawler then that's personal preference but I'm definitely not in that niche crowd.
@@jaxgsxrall im sayin is for 15k you get a nice clean slate to build on, without the headache of dealing with someone else's clapped out project...its also crawling, dont exactly need a V8 unless you're rock bouncing a tube buggy lol. Nor would it even really need D60s since it hardly makes enough power to break built D44s on 35s-37s.
he got paid to not say the word JEEP
I wouldn't say he got paid, he might have, but using the "J" word and Roxor in the same sentence is frowned upon by some. lol FYI: I drive a Roxor.
@@TlcBister that's funny that it would be frowned on by roxor owners when they are clearly jeep copies. This whole review video to me feels like he got paid to say nice things, sounded too much like an ad campaign.
Mike Trisket It’s actually a Willy’s copy. Licensed by Willy’s in 1947. And it’s not Roxor owners that frown on it, but I’ll let you figure out who it is.
