Great video. The lawsuit is 100% political. Because Chrysler failed as an American company and didn't buy the rights to the original Jeep and they realize their mistake. Mahindra has all rights to this design because they bought the rights. I wanted one for years and this is a great video. OD green for sure.
first of all you don't know much!!!! when Mahindra tried to sell these here in the US ,years ago , Chrysler put a stop to it in court because they do own the jeep front grille area design so Mahindra went back completely changed the front , now I believe they are back again available
Chrysler did own the "original Jeep" rights that were granted to Willys Overland after WW2 and now belong to the Stellantis Group. Willys Overland had licensed Mahindra and several other manufacturers worldwide to build their products.
Mahindra have rights for India and not for outside India. After world War 2 , Russian and American got German scientists and tech , doesn't each and every missile and rocket and many belongs to Germany. Germany still paying for War expenses while it should get royalties.
Obliviously, we all love this vehicle and there's a great demand for them but Chrysler won't build them but instead sue Mahindra where it's a lose - lose for everyone.
You it's funny Chrysler doesn't own that body ford was the original maker of the Willis jeep there were 3 different car manufacturers making jeeps during ww2
Fun FACT* Mahindras were once used as a tactical tank as it used to have 105mm artillery mounted. They were used by British Indian army to stop Japanese invasion
Here in india we have the most deadliest roads in norths.Most are ruled by mahindra in all climatic conditions ,even in heavy winter at heavy altitudes in mighty himalayas...We are happy to be way it was and affordable for all kind of human being ..

Nothing is going to happen for the next 25 to 30 years. 🙌 ( If used moderately off road. No 250 hp tuning and all day long mudding with it ). ( An average performing Mahindra here in India runs fine for say,.... 3-4 hundred thousand miles without any major issues. After that , as it gets older, problems will go up in numbers and in ' size ' . But it WILL NOT DIE . Gears might not engage properly, heavy rust, huge loss in engine power,...it goes on...but it WILL JUST NOT DIE. As someone from a southern Indian state called ' kerala ' ( tropical, mountainous ) , even in 2021 you will still find old MM 540s climbing mountain slopes carrying 10 people AND dense / heavy tropical hardwood trees at the same time, with open diffs and fried clutch. 😅 .Rare but it's daily life in remote parts with poor condition roads. If you made it this far, Sorry back to my point, it will be fine for two to three decades. After that anything you need, you can import from India. sorry for poor english as well.
Mahindra does use the 2.5 L CRDI in india in its SUVs normally tuned at 120 to 140 horses with turbo & intercooler. they return around 16 kmpl on diesel.
Looking at the same vehicle for our farm. Golf carts are too light, the Razor types are too small and light. Like yourself, I like that it’s beefy and can take reasonable abuse.

If you use it properly and get the requisite timely maintenance, this machine will stay with you till you are over 60 years old. Mahindra and Tata are two of the most reliable car manufacturers in India, and they build long-lasting and safer cars at the correct price compared to vehicles from China and Korea.
This thing will last you for another 40years... Mark my words🙌🏻... One of my relative own(he inherited from his father) 1980's era mahendra MM540 (suv based on thar-roxor platform) & according to him, "He barely pay 100-150$ annually for maintaining that 80's era Mahendra... On other hand, his 2019 bmw X3 ripped him off for atleast 900-1000$ under the name of annual maintanance "
I doubt any of the electronic engine controls will last 40 years. If it had a mechanical diesel like a Cummins 4BT it would though. If I owned one of these, I would run it until the engine gave me a problem. Then it would get yanked and replaced with a 4BT. The reason older vehicles tended to last so many years is because they had no electronic controls, and no ECM. Everything was analog. Mechanical. The Roxor is a *great* foundation, a perfect candidate for an older diesel or maybe an inline 6 gas engine like the ford 300 or dodge slant six if they would fit.
Great video, love the roxor, I have a 1982 jeep CJ7 and your right the roxor is a lot like my CJ7 and I've enjoyed watching all the work you've done to it, well done. Hope your hand is doing good.
One of the reasons Indians love watching your videos is because of the things you can do/have done to your roxors. If you have enough money to buy a thar (Indian street legal roxor), you likely live in a city, and more urban jurisdictions ban modifications of any kind. You guys can repaint your trucks any color, or with truckbed liner. You can lift your trucks, stretch them, rebody them. These are options we don't have and therefore every (older) thar looks like some reconfiguration of the same aftermarket grills, lights and trim. Your roxor looks like a beast and embodies an archetypal, rugged masculine aesthetic which we struggle to achieve. Another reason we love roxor videos is because it's incredibly reassuring to see foreigners who can afford or access more prominent vehicles praise our own. As someone in the third world its incredibly uplifting to know that I can own a locally produced but nevertheless world class product. Its the reason I own 3 Enfields including the new twin. Thanks man, thanks a lot.
@varun009 - As someone who has recently started taking interest in Indian culture (about 6 odd months), prior to that it was only via Praveen Mohan videos and that too for the wow factor, do you have any idea what most folks would give to have a living, breathing, rich ancient culture that goes thousands of years back? What all had been achieved and what has still managed to survive despite all the crap that has happened in the last thousand five hundred + years? Even after living there and speaking to friends i did not know about so much of it. It is disheartening to see you take value in material goods being sold as anything important. I mean you want to look at things to be happy about, look at yoga and its associated meditative practices which has caught on everywhere and the benefits it has given to millions across. Did you know that what modern rihnoplasty procedures is based on were copied from India? It was truly eye-opening for me. Did you know about the quantity of vaccines that India donated to countries that could not afford Pfizer, Moderna and other companies products and how many lives that possibly saved? My friend, if you do not appreciate what you have, pretty soon it will not be there for anyone to appreciate it either.
@@Merloc909 we are poor people. People with aspirations & hope. We have heritage & we have history & we are proud but that's that ,it ends there. Heritage won't put food & other things that are necessary for living. So people are focused on studying & working. Once we are a bit well to do as a nation I think then we would have enough time to think over our heritage.
@@user-ml1mr1ls2y This is where you are fundamentally wrong. When you have a rich culture, hostory and heritage that you actually are aware of, then you cannot call yourself poor. I was shocked to learn about how your history and what you all are taught in your schools was corrupted to such an extent with neocolonial influences (and further poisoned with marxist socialist thinking) that actual facts were hidden and partial truths cemented as base facts! That is classic old style colonial playbook at work, destroy a people's culture, prevent its sharing by replacing it with 'controlled and sanitised facts' and you break a country's people completely. Coz if one does not know one's own history and its glory, there is nothing to take pride in and you have to constantly look to 'others' to get that pride. Whereas, when you know your true worth and what all your ancient culture had already achieved, you will not have any trouble believing that you can achieve it all again. Imagine, when most of the world was living in huts and feudal villages, India had 15 universities!! Centers of learning! Can you even comprehend the achievement to make that happen? Sure you can have poverty, but that is an economic issue and can be dealt with and in the last three weeks the things i have learnt about India clearly show me that poverty will not be an issue for your country to deal with. You all are fortunate that you had some sort of awakening a few years back when you elected your current govt. All countries who did not have a nationalist govt in place before the pandemic are suffering a lot in these times. USA had a nationalist and populist movement going but it turns out that it was easier to subvert by the rich and powerful. My advice is to first know about yourself and your past, only then can you truly move forward.
@@Merloc909 Yes you are right about the awakening thing. After modi came to power he started the digital India campaign & with the involvement of the private sector the internet became accesible for a large population group. Now this large population group has access to books from various authors & they are not just confined/Brainwashed to the history taught in the NCERT books. It's largely good but it has also created much stupidity among people who go on claiming whatever little thing that comes in their mind. I'm no stranger to this phenomenon, in fact I never really believed what I was taught in school from history books right from the 7th standards, one reason was (like with most indian people) my interest in science.It was the general belief at that time & it still is that - History & Geography and Polity or social sciences in general were good for grades but otherwise pretty useless subjects. The other reason was one of my Sikh friends, who sowed seeds of doubt when I was in 9th standards I believe ,with his accusations against Mahatma Gandhi. And the story continues with many such encounters until one day I decided to read history books from various authors on my own but I didn't stop at just that I even stalked some of these authors & got a general idea of the kind of politics they want to do with the distortion that they peddle as history, they are truly Distorians ,not Historians.
My father bought a Mahindra Commander in 1991. This vehicle is still so strong and rugged that it can still toe another car. Made with pure Indian steel. Mahindras are the toughest in the world, built just like a Tank.
I bought the last real Jeep, "Universal," in September 1996. I own a Jeep Wangler TJ, the last model of the traditional Jeep. From 2007 to present, you are getting an over engineered, profusely plastic covered interior, apologetic, anemic, 4x4 with weak components. The only thing they have going for them is that they are still true 4x4, for now. But they have more plastic than a minivan, everything is computer controlled, and have problematic electronics. My 1997 Jeep Wrangler has 445,000 miles on the odometer with original engine, transmission, axles, body, frame.
I have a Polaris ranger that’s on its 2nd belt and needing a third. Corns $6 and you are reallyyy making the convincing argument I need one of these instead. Way more roomy, pulls more, doesn’t slip a belt every other day, I can take it to a cornfield, or take it to town. Also, gunmetal grey for the win.
If you find it hard to order mechanical parts including power train or suspension parts, you could do that from online stores in India and get it shipped out to the US through since agent.
@@weaksupremacy3799 every component on a Mahindra is manufactured in India. Plz do understand that when Mahindra sells a spare part in the US, it will considered landing cost (ex-factory + packaging + shipping + customs + warehousing cost) based on USD. But market price of same part in India will be in INR and it will not be loaded with so many cost components. In my opinion total cost for you might come out to be cheaper for you to import from india through DHL Okay so lets do a mock trial. You give me a part no and its price in US, while I will check out the same here in India along with shipping to US
@@BriansFarmingVideos I wish there were more companies doing this, with the average car being around $47000 we desperately need more affordable options.
Mahindra engines are much much reliable. I don’t know why they don’t break . These jeeps help us like an extra tractor on farm. Load it as much as you can they can pull 4000kgs very easily.
Chrysler Australia also took Mahindra to Court to stop the sale of the Mahindra "Thar" . . . the Wrangler look a-like from being sold in Australia . . . pity, as the Mahindra Thar probably would had been a better car for the Australian conditions lol.
it's actually a cross between a CJ2A and a CJ5 mostly a CJ5 body and suspension with newer engine and transmission. I would look into early JEEP aftermarket accessories for things like a top and rollbar / cage kit
I think the 2022 model with the all weather package is about $26,500 or an open Tub Model can be bought for about $18,500 . Additional modifications to the new vehicle will need to be done to make the vehicle "Street Legal". Additional engine tuning will be needed to increase the horse power to make it "street safe" as well. Just saying. I wish them well but not cheap.
It's awesome that people are enjoying this product in US & then some companies who have gone off-track and only way they find to stop the competition is by legal collar picking.. It would be really interesting to see new Thar comparison with bare bone new legendary Bronco
I heard the engine is a Kubota diesel! So you should be able to get parts for it. I would rather have one of those than a side by side. I believe that the wealthy here don't want competition. You can image how many people would buy that instead of a car/jeep if it's street legal!
Big kiss mine to chrysler and their law suit it is not a jeep. If chrysler is whining about losing sales they are out of their minds people who buy these would never buy an over priced jeep Wrangler anyway.
I own a jeep wrangler and wanted to buy one of these but seeing the new ones I dont want it it is very ugly kinda makes me mad Chrysler decided to do that because there is not comparison a jeep is a vehicle for the road the roxor is something you can make road legal but its a side by side and they have rights to the design its kinda BS

Mahindra tractors are very popular in India and their SUVs are preffered by people living in Himalayan mountains. Its a 75 year old company who just got put on Indian postal stamp.
Greetings from India, Though the vehicle is banned in USA but its very reliable because of it's less complexity with minimum electronics used. You can easily customize suspension and other things as per requirements. Never sell it. It's a great capable machine
My county in usa legalized side by sides for the road so you see them going down Main street. 98% of the time i dont leave my county its a great place so im pretty certain you could get it road legal here
Hi Brian, you could put a flap top mounted similar to those on series landrovers for the vent to reduce the water coming in maybe. Hope the finger continues to get better
Great review, btw your friend did an excellent job color matching. Nice mods would be great to have more of these at dealer level. Seems like the ideal farm work horse as opposed to a recreational side by side. Do like the nostalgic look. Not sure why FCA would be concerned about a off road vehicle that has dramatically less power and comfort features.
Mahindra is king of all vehicles. It's a very low maintenance vehicle, I have a 1986 Mahindra Jeep, that I modified in a Classic Jeep now. Go for it, without any doubt.
The 2.5 m2di Cr is used in the Bolero and the lower trims of Scorpio (with a different tune), and Pickups. The Thar had a DI version as well. The Thar CRDE used an oversquare engine (94mm bore and 90mm stroke) which had slightly poor low end performance. The 2.5 Di is an undersquare engine (88.9mm bore and 101.6mm stroke) which results in better low end performance. Bolero campers carrying 4tons pulls better than newer cars in hilly areas. The Thar’s Crde engine wasn’t a pushrod engine like the Di 2.5
As far as a full cab, soft cab with removable sides for warm weather but I like the idea of the hard cab for rain and the rest of the year. Yes, the CJ8 Scrambler would be an awesome farm vehicle but stretch your frame, lengthen the rear drive line and fab the body of yours.

If I owned one of these, I would run it until the engine gave me a problem. Then it would get yanked and replaced with a 4BT. The reason older vehicles tended to last so many years is because they had no electronic controls, and no ECM. Everything was analog. Mechanical. The Roxor is a *great* foundation, a perfect candidate for an older diesel or maybe an inline 6 gas engine like the ford 300 or dodge slant six if they would fit.
Great video, love the roxor, I have a 1982 jeep CJ7 and your right the roxor is a lot like my CJ7 and I've enjoyed watching all the work you've done to it, well done. Hope your hand is doing good.
They will be still running even after apocalypse 🔥 mahindras engine's are bulletproof
One of the reasons Indians love watching your videos is because of the things you can do/have done to your roxors. If you have enough money to buy a thar (Indian street legal roxor), you likely live in a city, and more urban jurisdictions ban modifications of any kind. You guys can repaint your trucks any color, or with truckbed liner. You can lift your trucks, stretch them, rebody them. These are options we don't have and therefore every (older) thar looks like some reconfiguration of the same aftermarket grills, lights and trim. Your roxor looks like a beast and embodies an archetypal, rugged masculine aesthetic which we struggle to achieve. Another reason we love roxor videos is because it's incredibly reassuring to see foreigners who can afford or access more prominent vehicles praise our own. As someone in the third world its incredibly uplifting to know that I can own a locally produced but nevertheless world class product. Its the reason I own 3 Enfields including the new twin. Thanks man, thanks a lot.
@varun009 - As someone who has recently started taking interest in Indian culture (about 6 odd months), prior to that it was only via Praveen Mohan videos and that too for the wow factor, do you have any idea what most folks would give to have a living, breathing, rich ancient culture that goes thousands of years back? What all had been achieved and what has still managed to survive despite all the crap that has happened in the last thousand five hundred + years? Even after living there and speaking to friends i did not know about so much of it. It is disheartening to see you take value in material goods being sold as anything important. I mean you want to look at things to be happy about, look at yoga and its associated meditative practices which has caught on everywhere and the benefits it has given to millions across. Did you know that what modern rihnoplasty procedures is based on were copied from India? It was truly eye-opening for me. Did you know about the quantity of vaccines that India donated to countries that could not afford Pfizer, Moderna and other companies products and how many lives that possibly saved? My friend, if you do not appreciate what you have, pretty soon it will not be there for anyone to appreciate it either.
@@Merloc909 we are poor people. People with aspirations & hope. We have heritage & we have history & we are proud but that's that ,it ends there. Heritage won't put food & other things that are necessary for living. So people are focused on studying & working. Once we are a bit well to do as a nation I think then we would have enough time to think over our heritage.
@@user-ml1mr1ls2y This is where you are fundamentally wrong. When you have a rich culture, hostory and heritage that you actually are aware of, then you cannot call yourself poor. I was shocked to learn about how your history and what you all are taught in your schools was corrupted to such an extent with neocolonial influences (and further poisoned with marxist socialist thinking) that actual facts were hidden and partial truths cemented as base facts! That is classic old style colonial playbook at work, destroy a people's culture, prevent its sharing by replacing it with 'controlled and sanitised facts' and you break a country's people completely. Coz if one does not know one's own history and its glory, there is nothing to take pride in and you have to constantly look to 'others' to get that pride.
Whereas, when you know your true worth and what all your ancient culture had already achieved, you will not have any trouble believing that you can achieve it all again. Imagine, when most of the world was living in huts and feudal villages, India had 15 universities!! Centers of learning! Can you even comprehend the achievement to make that happen?
Sure you can have poverty, but that is an economic issue and can be dealt with and in the last three weeks the things i have learnt about India clearly show me that poverty will not be an issue for your country to deal with. You all are fortunate that you had some sort of awakening a few years back when you elected your current govt. All countries who did not have a nationalist govt in place before the pandemic are suffering a lot in these times. USA had a nationalist and populist movement going but it turns out that it was easier to subvert by the rich and powerful.
My advice is to first know about yourself and your past, only then can you truly move forward.
@@Merloc909 Yes you are right about the awakening thing. After modi came to power he started the digital India campaign & with the involvement of the private sector the internet became accesible for a large population group. Now this large population group has access to books from various authors & they are not just confined/Brainwashed to the history taught in the NCERT books. It's largely good but it has also created much stupidity among people who go on claiming whatever little thing that comes in their mind. I'm no stranger to this phenomenon, in fact I never really believed what I was taught in school from history books right from the 7th standards, one reason was (like with most indian people) my interest in science.It was the general belief at that time & it still is that - History & Geography and Polity or social sciences in general were good for grades but otherwise pretty useless subjects. The other reason was one of my Sikh friends, who sowed seeds of doubt when I was in 9th standards I believe ,with his accusations against Mahatma Gandhi. And the story continues with many such encounters until one day I decided to read history books from various authors on my own but I didn't stop at just that I even stalked some of these authors & got a general idea of the kind of politics they want to do with the distortion that they peddle as history, they are truly Distorians ,not Historians.
Well the new Thar does not share anything with the roxor. It would be the old Thar which did share much of the characteristics.
One year later? Already? Christ, how time flies.
No kidding. I remember clearly the delivery episode
@@kevfaherty123 Yeah me too 😊
My father bought a Mahindra Commander in 1991. This vehicle is still so strong and rugged that it can still toe another car. Made with pure Indian steel. Mahindras are the toughest in the world, built just like a Tank.
Gunmetal grey for colour and the factory soft cab looks better. Just my opinion.
I would buy one and have it painted like the ships in World War One that were painted in the Dazzle Camo.
Mahindra is 9001% better than chinesium made junk.
Thank you for the update ! :)

I bought the last real Jeep, "Universal," in September 1996. I own a Jeep Wangler TJ, the last model of the traditional Jeep. From 2007 to present, you are getting an over engineered, profusely plastic covered interior, apologetic, anemic, 4x4 with weak components. The only thing they have going for them is that they are still true 4x4, for now. But they have more plastic than a minivan, everything is computer controlled, and have problematic electronics. My 1997 Jeep Wrangler has 445,000 miles on the odometer with original engine, transmission, axles, body, frame.
I have a Polaris ranger that’s on its 2nd belt and needing a third. Corns $6 and you are reallyyy making the convincing argument I need one of these instead. Way more roomy, pulls more, doesn’t slip a belt every other day, I can take it to a cornfield, or take it to town.
Also, gunmetal grey for the win.
My Polaris ranger 900 has 13,000 miles on its first belt.
If you find it hard to order mechanical parts including power train or suspension parts, you could do that from online stores in India and get it shipped out to the US through since agent.
Shipping costs suck!
@@weaksupremacy3799 every component on a Mahindra is manufactured in India. Plz do understand that when Mahindra sells a spare part in the US, it will considered landing cost (ex-factory + packaging + shipping + customs + warehousing cost) based on USD.
But market price of same part in India will be in INR and it will not be loaded with so many cost components.
In my opinion total cost for you might come out to be cheaper for you to import from india through DHL
Okay so lets do a mock trial. You give me a part no and its price in US, while I will check out the same here in India along with shipping to US
Lots of Indians here talking about how good their product's are lmao
Chill and let others do the praising have some class y'all 😂😂
This to me is essentially what a CJ2 was used for after the war. They became a great farm workhorse.
2023: looks like the Roxor is still in production. They drastically changed the front end. Startin over $20k also
They are a car not a sxs. They're sold in the us as a sxs to avoid emission regulations.
As well as safety regs. For example no airbags
@@BriansFarmingVideos I wish there were more companies doing this, with the average car being around $47000 we desperately need more affordable options.
Mahindra engines are much much reliable. I don’t know why they don’t break . These jeeps help us like an extra tractor on farm. Load it as much as you can they can pull 4000kgs very easily.
The average lifespan of a Mahindra is more than the average lifespan of an Indian. Post COVID dare I say American.
Chrysler Australia also took Mahindra to Court to stop the sale of the Mahindra "Thar" . . . the Wrangler look a-like from being sold in Australia . . . pity, as the Mahindra Thar probably would had been a better car for the Australian conditions lol.
According to Mahindra, the Roxor tow rating is 3490 lbs. with a GVWR of 3750 lbs....curb weight is 3035 lbs.
yeah the rating for the weight on the back is about 10% of the towing rate
it's actually a cross between a CJ2A and a CJ5 mostly a CJ5 body and suspension with newer engine and transmission. I would look into early JEEP aftermarket accessories for things like a top and rollbar / cage kit
I'd buy that Roxor in a heartbeat Brian ;)
I think the 2022 model with the all weather package is about $26,500 or an open Tub Model can be bought for about $18,500 . Additional modifications to the new vehicle will need to be done to make the vehicle "Street Legal". Additional engine tuning will be needed to increase the horse power to make it "street safe" as well. Just saying. I wish them well but not cheap.
It's awesome that people are enjoying this product in US & then some companies who have gone off-track and only way they find to stop the competition is by legal collar picking..
It would be really interesting to see new Thar comparison with bare bone new legendary Bronco
Straight pipe eh? More power than a normal muffler. As Nick told me.
Hope Mahindra enters US market at full scale
I heard the engine is a Kubota diesel! So you should be able to get parts for it. I would rather have one of those than a side by side. I believe that the wealthy here don't want competition. You can image how many people would buy that instead of a car/jeep if it's street legal!
Don't worry about its spare parts ... You can import it from india .... Same product available in India with name mahindra Thar
Big kiss mine to chrysler and their law suit it is not a jeep. If chrysler is whining about losing sales they are out of their minds people who buy these would never buy an over priced jeep Wrangler anyway.
I think the taillight guards are to protect them from rocks being chucked by the tires of the guy behind you on the trail.
This is probably the only side by side ever made that isn't a complete piece of shit.
I own a jeep wrangler and wanted to buy one of these but seeing the new ones I dont want it it is very ugly kinda makes me mad Chrysler decided to do that because there is not comparison a jeep is a vehicle for the road the roxor is something you can make road legal but its a side by side and they have rights to the design its kinda BS
One of our family member has 35 year old Thar ( Indian name of Roxer)
Body Is little shaky and rusty but engine still works.
Awesome
Which thar did your relative get man? Which is 35 years old? Forget 35 years thar was not even there 15 years back 💀
thar was launched way before but discontinued and Mahindra came back with that after some years again
@@editrains3840 old version of Thar is named Mahindra MM540....it was discontinued for 10 -15 years and reintroduced in 2010 with name Thar ...company claims it to be new version of MM540
I just cannot justify the purchase of one. I’ve tried and tried to justify it but considering I bought my 66’ Kaiser CJ5 for $5800 and will have less than $12,500 once LS swapped. 🤷♂️
Mahindra is making more of a Jeep than Jeep is. That big hunk of bloated plastic Fiat is cranking out now is no longer a Jeep.
Just do regular service, it will last several decades
Don't worry sir it will go on till your grand children have their children
Until I came to USA, I was thinking Jeep was one of the model of Mahindra’s vehicles 😬
Actually Roxor has won the lawsuit and as of 2024 right now they are doing great
Beautiful jeep and it’s a little tank !
I loaded 1.2 ton excavator bukket on it and drove it to 300 km to drop on working site and remember i load on it not on trailer
I think the roxor would look good in black.
Engine is not from a tractor but its from a mini suv named Bolero and Thar.,
Very cool vehicle and a nice build. Flat desert tan would be sweet.
Likeed to see indian brand, love from India🇮🇳. Mahindra builds solid products,in india they sell THAR brand it's amazing 2021 thar is amazing 4 by 4. hope you recover your hand faster .God bless you.🇮🇳
Its more likely willy jeep bt unfortunately jeep won lawsuit
Mahindra tractors are very popular in India and their SUVs are preffered by people living in Himalayan mountains. Its a 75 year old company who just got put on Indian postal stamp.
We still have our 32 year old Mahindra Jeep , I guess my Jeep will outlive me 😭
Greetings from India, Though the vehicle is banned in USA but its very reliable because of it's less complexity with minimum electronics used. You can easily customize suspension and other things as per requirements. Never sell it. It's a great capable machine
My county in usa legalized side by sides for the road so you see them going down Main street. 98% of the time i dont leave my county its a great place so im pretty certain you could get it road legal here
Write to them in India and they would send you the parts ,its a good company.
Hi Brian, you could put a flap top mounted similar to those on series landrovers for the vent to reduce the water coming in maybe. Hope the finger continues to get better
Great review, btw your friend did an excellent job color matching. Nice mods would be great to have more of these at dealer level. Seems like the ideal farm work horse as opposed to a recreational side by side. Do like the nostalgic look. Not sure why FCA would be concerned about a off road vehicle that has dramatically less power and comfort features.
Mahindra is king of all vehicles. It's a very low maintenance vehicle, I have a 1986 Mahindra Jeep, that I modified in a Classic Jeep now.
Go for it, without any doubt.
id take a firewall from cj7 and use the vin to register as a jeep
*ACTUALLY, the 2022 version does exist. Diesel Freak Bought one. MIGHT HAVE 5.38 : 1 gears... in 2022.*
It didn’t 6 months ago when I made this video lol
Ah I thought it was called a Rock Saw! Now it makes sense!!
The 2.5 m2di Cr is used in the Bolero and the lower trims of Scorpio (with a different tune), and Pickups. The Thar had a DI version as well. The Thar CRDE used an oversquare engine (94mm bore and 90mm stroke) which had slightly poor low end performance. The 2.5 Di is an undersquare engine (88.9mm bore and 101.6mm stroke) which results in better low end performance. Bolero campers carrying 4tons pulls better than newer cars in hilly areas. The Thar’s Crde engine wasn’t a pushrod engine like the Di 2.5
Roxor in Desert Tan. Or OD Green. Looks awesome 😎
OD Green like the one with the Roxor soft cab ! No question about it. I think the Roxor Cab looks better than that hard cab if you can find one.
You should consider bright orange, if you repaint. 😊
They made it toy sized on purpose..it wood have been way better than AMC crap. It was just to piss em off in our U.S. & yall bit.
This thing has a bigger wheel base than a tj
Mattracks
Mahindra thar is nice the civilian version of this.
As far as a full cab, soft cab with removable sides for warm weather but I like the idea of the hard cab for rain and the rest of the year. Yes, the CJ8 Scrambler would be an awesome farm vehicle but stretch your frame, lengthen the rear drive line and fab the body of yours.
live in miami county,just bought a roxor,but now the titke department says i can not make it street legal,for what it says on the title..off road only,,did you make yours street legal and plate it for street use???
Join the Roxor Facebook groups. There is information on there how to get the title to street legal.
Made for Indian road conditions.. Rigged one 🔥
You should pay income tax dude you chest with the farm and with UA-cam channel revenues I'll report it thanks
😂😂😂 you seem fun
This Roxor is a better Jeep then Jeep 😂. It’s still being sold here, Mahindra just had to change the face to keep from getting sued again.
They already did it
Heartbeat of youth in bharat(india) mahindra THAR (ROXOR)
If they allow Mahindra to sell there Thar Suv...then it's will be Rip for Wrangler.
Not a chance
Maybe people don't realize most CJ-5 and CJ-7's in Ohio have the Fred Flintstone floor option and the Swiss cheese side and frame option.
Thanks Brian, just what I needed to wind down after an eventful day.
Nice mods. Would have looked a bit more lovely if you have replaced that "roxor" grille with a "thar" one. just my opinion
