- Mahindra Roxor is the perfect off road vehicle in my opinion. There have been changes over the years that you need to know about before buying one. #mahindra #mahindraroxor #mahindrathar #4x4 #offroad

THIS is what Jeeps should still be like! Not expensive 4-door monsters that people only use to drive to Starbucks :P
Agreed!
When the Jimny (Samurai) got unfairly treated, the Jeep Wrangler had to be made larger. Jeep should have licensed these for off-road use.
I would totally drive this to Startrucks.
Mahindra used to manufacture Jeep Willys under license back in the day
It is assembled in Aubern Hills Michigan, which tells us the parts are most likely made in a communist nation , probably china.
We don't understand that the more we do business with communism, the more we lose our liberty to communism. That is reality right now, so resist as much as you can, doing business with communism that is stealing our free enterprise from us. There is no better reason to consider that in our "bottom dollar" decisions. We have a very bad habit buying stuff from communism because it is cheap, (No EPA regulations, other regulations, slave labor), and they hate the liberty that allowed us to create free enterprise. Do we get it? Or is it too late?
Used to work at a offroad dealer that sold these, loved to drive them in at the end of the day, the transmission was butter smoothe and the clutch was a dream
I absolutely love ours, forums are full of satisfied off road enthusiasts.
Are they good in sand?
When I was a kid back in the 50's my dad had an old willy's jeep with a cab shaped like that. That first scene coming along the tree line brought back memories. We made Maple syrup in early spring and my mom would pile my sister and brother and me in the back with some big buckets to collect the sap. We'd start along the fence line and collect sap till we got to the far end, then had to drive slowly back so we wouldn't spill much. Pretty boring. One afternoon I suggested we start at the far end, it'd be faster cuz we could goose it across the field. Mom got a big grin on and off we went. We had 2 litters if beagle pups at the time, 13 puppies and one of the mothers were following. We did a wide circle of the field in about 6"of snow and it was glorious, we were hanging on tight and mom was givin it. There was a pear tree along the fence line we'd picked in the fall, and the dogs were running beside us as we passed it, mother dog out front Suddenly it seemed like the snow exploded under her and she flew into the air, through the tree branches and out the top, still running. I guess we left the ladder under the tree, now under the snow, and we ran over it with the jeep just when she ran over the far end. Anyways when she came back down through the tree she was running the other way back to the house with all the pups behind and seemed pretty much unscathed but kinda nervous for the next couple of days.
Cool story, love memories like that of the simple things in life.
Why the hell did you just write a book that has nothing to do with this vehicle?
The story was inspired by this video. Bravo. @@craigmitchell1993
Pepperidge Fahm remembers.
Cool story. We old guys like cool old stories! 😎👍
Mahindra made Willy's army jeeps in WW2 for the Asian theater (against the Japanese). That's how they got started.
How has it ended? Made by communism in china, (they only like profit when they make it), assembled in Aubern Hills.
Our free enterprise is not compatible with communism, and that is why we have been losing everything we built, and our liberty to build it.
That was then,------this is now.
That didn't happen. Mahindra didn't exist until October 1945 and they got license to make Jeeps in 1947.
In texas they can't be run on the highway but you can put farm tags on it and run it as farm equipment. I did have a tune put on mine because 55 wasn't cutting it. It now tops out at about 105mph. Running 36 inch tires off a polaris 1000 on it has a 6 1/5 lift with flipped axles added full snorkel and 10,000 lbs winch made by waren after the delete I get about 45 mpg, it has been roof deep in a swamp 2 times and walked in and out with no problems. Mine is a 2022.. very well built so far so good.
Wow that's a heck of build, nice!
Easy to make street legal
@deanfirnatine7814 they don't allow them because they are titled as utv and gets around all crash test and safty.. I tow cars for the sherrifs dept. And have towed alot of utv that owners thought were good, not in Tx.
@TheKelleysReviews I've had 4 wheelers and side by sides I've had this one about 2 years and pretty nice.
yea need to change a lot of our maritime pirate laws back to pre all that cooperate type mess got in on us via bankster types @@user-ty9ts5ed1n
That thing is cool! Way better than that belt driven Polaris! NOTHING should ever be belt driven imo
Agree with that, especially for heavy use or towing.
I’ve towed heavy loads building a remote off-road cabin and used a 600 sportsman in water so deep I had to put my feet on the front rack. Then I got a 900 Ranger and I’ve never had a belt slip on either of them except after washing it. I put thousands of miles on the Sportsman and before I sold it I changed the belt which was still in good shape. The only problems I had were a starter and water pump on the Sportsman. I’ve had to change the wheel bearings on the Ranger because the long deep puddles are like a liquid pumice and wears the bearing seals.
3,500 miles on stock Polaris belt in my rzr
@@ridered73943500 miles isn't an accomplishment
Agreed!
Back in 2010 I was in Nicaragua on a surf trip and was trying to get a Toyota Hilux from the rental company. All the had was a Mahindra Pik Up. Turns put it was probably the most fun vehicle I have ever driven. Highway, dirt roads, jungle trails it didn't matter. I wish I could get one here in the US sooooo bad.
Hilux is my dream truck, this had to do since I can't get one here in the states.
Did you listen to some Sacred Reich?
@@TheKelleysReviewsIt is criminal that we can’t get the hilux or 70 series,trucks, landcruiser and 45 series trucks.
@@lennyross2813 For the simple reason that they don't meet emissions requirements.
More likely, they cant afford the bribes 😂 @PatientXero607
2" body lift,4" suspension lift,35 tsl SXs,lockers front and rear,full blown tune and a Warn 8274 winch up front,plus dual gun clips on the dash..
Been looking at these for a long time too. Thanks for sharing those changes, i was not previously aware that they made those updates. Love the diesel and heavy duty drivetrain and suspension.
Glad to help, I absolutely love this platform.
Glad I came across this. Mahindra has a local dealership (Texas),
and I looked it up and found out that Mahindra "subbed out" during WW II,
building many of the Jeeps used in the War. My great-uncle drove an
old Willys for years, but I have no way to know if it was a Mahindra. This
video is a good explanation of the vehicle and the options, and you were lucky
to get what sounds like a good deal. Look forward to more videos.
Thank you for watching, I feel like we got an excellent deal.
Mahindra has also had a license to build Jeeps since 1947 that they maintained with the various owners of Jeep since that time.
the dealer in Buna has them. or did.
I test drove one in Wyoming. That was allot of fun. It was rated at 3/4 ton.
Love this machine. I don’t know why anyone would buy a Polaris anything unless you love to work on them. Looking forward to watching videos of this cool Mahindra
I'll get some more videos out soon.
nothin wrong wid those ..its just they r expenive
ya ok.
The speed and the agility at high speeds is why most people buy the Polaris can am etc. this is more like a Suzuki samurai or Toyota Hilux except a little smaller
By far the most informative video on one of these I've ever seen. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!, more content coming.
My first off-road build was a 75’ CJ5. After many iterations it wasn’t street legal, had a Chevy crate motor, was sitting on D60/D80 and 42’s and the only thing Jeep left about it was the original grill and a couple of trademark body/tub pieces. 😅 We currently have a TJ that has a D44/Ford9” and 36’s. And yes, to confirm you are running a D30/D44.
There is so much off-road capability sitting there and the great thing is you also get reliability and comfort too with the heat/AC. I’d love for you to “take us along” on one of your off-road days like you do on the boat days.
Thank you for the information and confirmation. I'm super excited about this vehicle. I've always dreamed of a small diesel 4x4. This checks all the boxes for me in a easy to work on and reliable package.
@@TheKelleysReviews all of those parts are super reliable and extremely easy to work on if anything does ever break. And the good thing with all of those old Jeep components is they are all readily available if needed at any auto parts store.
Civilian Jeeps had 5.38 gears from '47 through at least '64. The military version has 4.88's. All the CJ's from 2a thru 5 and 6 were Dana 27 or 30 front and rear axles, and 5.38's. These Roxors are using licensed Dana 44's front and rear; compare the diff cover. The transfer case is also a licensed Dana 20... Mahindra has been very cagey maintaining the terms of the various licensing agreements they've made. It's all completely legit.
For the price of side by sides you can get a jeep wrangler used and never have to worry about not being able to get parts
No offense, but jeeps are known for horrible reliability. That's why I couldn't justify a used one. Most everyone I know puts thousands in swapping out the engine and running gear. I have too many projects already.
@@TheKelleysReviews I have 100k on a 2001 wrangler. No issues at all. Always starts. Minimal electronics.
@@peterochester2320100, 000 miles? 😂 That's nothing anymore when there's 2001 bucks on the road with 231,000 miles. Also, take a look at where your transfer case mount connects to the frame. Be ready for what your going to see, they like to rust out there and the transfer case literally falls down to the road while driving. Most out there have been welded up with supporting iron criss crossing the chassis. Good luck ever getting it out after that for service
@@peterochester2320Consider that yours might be the exception.
Never get behind the wheel of a jeep again unless it has leaf spring suspension,a month in the ICU and another 6 months to walk again because the rear end decided to break loose going down the highway and flipping numerous times at 60 mph not a good design for a vehicle TJs suck, All jeeps after 1995 suck
I didn’t know it existed! Thanks for the introduction and a new subscription !
Thanks for the sub!
Nice vehicle. Love the simple, tried and tested approach. It reminds me a lot of the Mahindra small diesel pickup they were working to sell in the US about 10 years ago. I saw some in person being road-tested and it look like a big brother to this. The simple, affordable small diesel pickup people had been clamoring for ever since pickups got huge. Mahindra ended up not selling their truck in the US, sadly. The gubmint makes it really hard to sell a small and affordable truck, much less a diesel.
Aggravates me to no end the regulations that don't allow, simple, affordable and reliable vehicles into the USA. It's a scam!
@@TheKelleysReviewsBlame the EPA, due to fuel economy regulations they can't make small trucks anymore because the requirements for fuel economy is damn near impossible to make which is why we have nothing but the huge trucks now.
Blame the Globalists, they are destroying your country
@@SilvaDreams They can too but they don't want to. The profit is in the big expensive trucks!
@@williamjackson5942 I did see an article within a year ago maybe where GM admitted the Denali buyers are actually hurting GM bottom line. I roared with laughter. Fuck Denali
Yes I love to see yall do offroad vlogs
I have a Suzuki Carry 4x after owning a couple side by sides and will never go back. 1/3 the cost new and near zero maintenance. Doesn't go 50 mph over jumps but will go anywhere slower. Just like a 22r Toyota with great heat and ac
Miss my 22r yota
As a kid, I learned on an M38A1 relegated to my grandparents’ farm. This is exactly the solution I’ve been looking for!
All said and done I see about $40,000 investment. You can one hell of a truck, Jeep, anything awesome for 40K. My offroad vehicles need to be affordable. Very cool Roxor. Thanks for the vid.
Brand new open model is $17,400 at my dealer, $24,900 for cab and AC. Used marker is $12k and up here. I think those prices are excellent for a diesel.
I do not disagree, but you can buy a really nice off road vehicle for 20-30K. It's just hard to swallow
@@TheKelleysReviews
Roxor is very cool
Im a big snowmobiler always thought that the diesel with tracks would be a awesome trail groomer.
Cool video thanks for sharing
There is a guy on TH-cam running his with tracks and in snow.
The ultimate toy, glad that you managed to get it:))) I hope weather isn't too bad.
Some storms yesterday but overall not bad.
This reminds of my YJ Jeep. I removed the back seat and use it as a short bed Truck. Big stuff I put on the roll bars on top and use tie downs. That back window is a nice feature. I going to look one up for mine. I mostly ride it with everything off. Doors etc.. But it be nice to have on the few days it rains.
Love that back soft glass.
I had a CJ5 a few years ago, it had zero leg room, none. I would recommend it only to people 5'5" or less. On top of that, it had an awful transmission where it would routinely get stuck in gear and this is a common problem lol. I had to drive it home from an hour away stuck in 2nd. You could perhaps get it unlocked by removing the boot, pull the shifter, and looking down the top of the transmission with a flashlight and popping the fork back out of the slot with a die bar or huge flathead. People forget Jeeps were AMC, and therefore horribly reliable haha.
This is a dream machine to those who just want a jeep without the u-fix-it shop they carry with them....and the diesel is icing on the cake.
You said what I've been thinking 😬. I must say this has more room than appears, even my Jeep friends keep commenting on the room.
Totally informative. Thank you. From 10,000 miles off. RSA.
I love the old cj2 style. Land crushers are my second favorite
Very good presentation. I have no use for one of these. But your a good speaker and straight to the point. You could be a salesman
Definitely not trying to sale these, but thank you.
Yes, off-road riding videos please
You got it!
I dream to buy my dad one of these before its too late... Its been his dream to have one for a while now. haha
built very similar to my 1987 suzuki samurai tintiop, the samurai has been the simplest, most reliable vehicle aI have ever owned, street legal, will do 60 mph all day on the interstate, will climb walls in 4 wheel drive, always starts, very easy to work on, great truck, still have it after 25 years. wonder if this is built that sturdy? time will tell
Those are very popular here. The diesel is what sold me on this!
hi there this just popped up and hear you were . nice little ride , my neighbor got one 2-3 years ago , loves it , i have old jeeps and that is just what they are , Warn use to make auto hubs ,i would bet someone makes them , 538s is what all the old jeeps had , good find ,best to all . john
Thank you for stopping by Mr John!
Very informative vid, thanks. It looks to be a little bigger than my 46 Willy's cj2a, maybe just an illusion lol.
I'm a sxs owner. I saw one of those at the dealership. Likely 3 or so years ago. Yours looks better plus all the accessories. Good rig
They are definitely ugly without accessories.
I’d love to see more on the Roxor, and what you do with it. New subscriber!
More to come! Several videos already posted on the channel.
Awesome vehicle Andrew. Fits your property perfectly
Love this vehicle
Very good and well done video. Love the truck. So cool
Glad you liked it
Nice breakdown. I've been intrigued by these for awhile.
I've been eyeballing them for 5 years.
Im from the Caribbean. Once you step outside of the US, or any 1st world country you will find some of the coolest vehicles around. Without the safety/emissions cabal that controls everything in the "civilised" world, you will find durable, reliable and very capable vehicles running around and getting things done.
I agree and it frustrates me to no end with those regulations.
That is really cool guy thank you for the video I'm 65 years old and that thing would be perfect for the 160 acre ranch that I take care of with hills and mountains and yeah that would be just right don't know where I could get one but I sure would like one thanks again
Mahindra tractor dealers across the country sell and service these. They are also for sale used on Facebook and Craigslist.
Dude. Tmi. Let's see it drive! Great breakdown but goodness that was very long winded. I wanna see ya drive it over a small log or something.
Initial review with detailed information I found useful, can't fit everything in one video.
Fallowed you over from the country life channel. Had a CJ5 years ago, it was street legal and a fun driver.
Thank you for watching and the support. These are wonderful off road machines.
Excellent video. You speak very well and have a lot of knowledge, relayed in a very easy to digest manner. I didnt even want one of these, but now i do after watching your video 😂 Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
It seems like a 4BT series Cummins would be right at home in something like that, with no upgrades needed. Some love to the suspension, and you got a small, but unstoppable rock crawler/adventure machine!
The stock diesel in them is more than capable without adding a 1000 lb boat anchor into the front. You can program them to remove the electronic speed governor if that's an issue.
@@jeepinbanditrider
There is also a rubber hose component that needs to be replaced with a metal one to handle the extra boost .
Jeep claiming that grill when it was ford that designed it 😂
I've been wanting one of these, but I've got an old TJ already. So I don't know if it makes since for me. But dang that is sweet! Very helpful video!
The diesel is what sold me, I've always wanted a small diesel truck, this was close enough.
Wow! that is very beefy looking. Very sharp, strong and really cool looking. Wow, you sure talked a lot..lol. Loved the video.
Lol yall been asking for more talking.
I have a $1,500.00 Ford Bronco 2…
I drive it everywhere and it’s very reliable!
Very rare to find one anywhere near that price here.
STREET LEGAL IN ARIZONA BUT EVERYTHING IS LOLOLOL
The Mahindra Roxor is a solid, work horse for ranch use. I drive one for work and we threw in somes upgrades to fit our needs, and it’s been an excellent rig. Bigger tires, lift kit, torque locker in the front differential, manual locking hubs, bilstein stocks and an engine retune. Even with open rear diff, it still a pretty good rock crawler. It has more bed space than the rest of the our sxs, so it’s great for haul hay, range boxes, fencing materials, etc. if you want a work rig and you don’t use it for play, the roxor is a solid pick.
Mine is a dirt road rider, back trails and farm helper. It's perfect for that, we love it.
That reminds me of an old FJ40 Toyota I used to have. It ran a straight 6 factory but we dropped a chevy 350 in it out of a corvette, just chopped the exhaust down shorter and welded it in. It was a bit much power for it though and ended up tearing the clutch assembly to pieces, I'm talking it shredded the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and the Y fork that pushes the bearing all to pieces.
Sounds like it was time for a performance clutch
I would probably have to sell my house to pay for that.
Do you live in Haiti?
Its only 28k. The base model is 20k.
@@st0l3nmuscle15the ford maverick is cheaper isn’t it? lol
Can't afford to buy shit these days FJB
Things are definitely sky high.
That is a sweet little rig!! I would love to have one for my families property!
Absolutely love it
Thank you, very to the point and informative presentation
Glad it was helpful!
You make it sound like a 70s truck, just simple and reliable.
Ps could you add a link to this review channel to your main account under “our other channels”?
That's the way I see it and desire simplicity. Thanks for reminding me about the channel add.
I really did enjoy the review, seems like you did your research beforehand. Also the items that were minimal you clearly pointed those out and the difference in model years was a good lookout for us who just noticed these.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Andrew! This video is fun!
Thank you for watching
You have an Excellent presentation! Very knowledgeable, and practical. Congratulations.
Thank you very much!
I worked for a large auto company in NZ in the early 70s, who were the main Toyota agents, also for Rambler, Peugeot, Renault, Daihatsu, Chrysler Australia, and Mahindra Jeep. The Mahindras were a copy of the original Jeep, with an engine which was a copy of the early Land rover motor (with overhead inlet and side exhaust) . One day the Mechanics took a CJ5 and a Mahindra down the road to a really steep slope to find out which was the best on hills. The CJ5 with the big 4.0L 6 cyl couldn't get up the slope, but the Mahindra drove around it easily to everyones' surprise. They were a bit roughly made and everything felt loose from new, but they did what they were supposed to.
I love that this isn't some refined vehicle like most modern ones. I like manual, simple and a little rough around the edges.
Mahindra started manufacturing Willys in India since 1949 at Mumbai.
Best vid yet, thx!
Glad you liked it!
@@TheKelleysReviews I'd do it in a heartbeat, but, California is in the way. Street legal would be the goal, tow my off road teardrop. Diesel is the only way to go!
Great review. Now I want one even more!
Love mine!
You are so right about the ATV/UTV vehicles. Others are looking for other options on their properties, such as Kei trucks from Japan. Some have AC and 4wd, if you are mechanically inclined and a few mods a very reliable farm truck. Top speed 60-70 mph on the road. Mostly gas, some diesel. Price point since they are 25 years old 5-7,000... I've seen a couple in Florida driving around. Good deal on your new to you vehicle.
I use to own one, lack of parts caused me to sell it.
I like it! I think a full cover maybe a safari cover going to the rear would look great on it.
They make those aftermarket.
I'd love one of these. Thanks for the vid. I'm not finding much used with a quick google search. Is there any trick to finding used ones?
Facebook marketplace and Facebook Roxor groups have quite a few for sale.
Thank you for a really good review!
My pleasure!
Lucky! Great review
I’ve never even heard of this beast, now I have to have one
I'm surprised how many haven't, they've been selling in the states for 5 years and overseas since 2010.
Thumbs up subbed Great video, 8ve never seen one of these before, but I'm sitting here wondering if it has a snow plow hook up
Not sure to be honest
I did not see that coming! Lol.
That appears to be just what you need!
It's perfect for us!
Dude...i want to have that as a daily. I am a city boy. This looks like a real jeep, and is enough to do all i need. And it checks all the eight boxes.
Great review! The only thing I would correct is both axles are a Dana 44 style axle. They’re not a Dana 44 but pretty much a clone. You cant buy Dana 44 parts and just bolt them in. For example you need a spacer if you buy a 44 carrier and the Roxor axles are 19 spline and I believe most 44’s are 30 spline. Again probably the best informative review on TH-cam so far.
Thank you for the information, I've heard it both ways but wasn't 100 percent sure.
@@TheKelleysReviews Dana 44's were 19 spine (upgrade from 10) from the late 50's up to 1970 or so when they went to the flanged axle shafts. The transfer case is a Dana 18, not a 20, which were used by Willys from the original MB's in WW2 up until the late 60's. These things really are early CJ's. with a 7-ish looking tub that they added 4" width to..
@@howardeisenhauer1391 Fascinating history
Use to drive one at a hunting ranch i worked at and they will go just about anywhere you pointed it, wish I could get one street legal
You can, mine is street legal through Dirt Legal.
@@TheKelleysReviews is that the place in Ft Myers i have heard about?
You had me at manual transmission. Can you go from a complete stop starting in 2nd, or do you still gotta go through that 1st granny gear like most cars?
You absolutely can start in second, the torque of the diesel and low gearing makes it work well.
I love it. Can we see a review video of some off roading, towing, and regular driving?
Seems to be a lot of interest in the Roxor, we can make that happen.
I believe it's a CJ-3B that they liscense built and made minor changes too since the 1950s. Supposedly there are still parts that interchange with a Willy's CJ-3A or B. It's a shame it's giving you so much trouble, I wanted one before covid when they were $10-15k new or nearly new. In TN and a few other states they're road legal on B roads. I saw they they're speed limited and guys were tuning them, taking the limiter off and they were capable of over 70. I had the idea that if I wanted it to be fully playable and drivable everywhere that I would buy the cheapest Jeep tub with a title that I could find, do the bare minimum to use it's firewall, front end and whatever to use the Mahindra too "restore" the old Jeep. Weld in the parts of the old Jeep, repaint it, disguise it and go. They don't have inspection or emissions in TN so nobody would know accept me. I even thought it might be cool to stretch it and make it into an M170 so it would have a decent length bed, more wheelbase for better handling and it would probably work better with a lift, bigger tires and would allow longer, softer leafs that would have tons of articulation and improve the ride. I'd rather have the 3.70 or maybe something between 4.10 and 4.56 if my tires were 35", 37" or more to keep the rpms down and be easier on the engine.
4.56 would be perfect! FYI I didn't have any issues with the Roxor, it's my Polaris that's always having something wrong, but it is 14 years old too.
You will love that Roxor, I’ve had mine for close to a year and love it 👍
Glad to hear it, we've been using it almost every single day.
What a perfect set up!!
Might have to sell my Polaris General.
I absolutely love this for our use, not for everyone.
do you have the poly windshield? If so, what wipers do you have? do you like them? What doors are those?
It is poly, the doors, windshield and wipers are factory. Those come with the all weather package.
I have a 2019 Roxor with 6000 miles no problems, paid 15k brand new and gets 30 mpg. It is street legal as its my summer fun car, super mint condition. I dont have a truck so if i need to tow something i use the Roxor as it has 250lb of torque ,it is tuned. Used it to pull a utility trailer with a john deere 318 garden tractor on it with wheel weights, snow plow and a heavy hitch weight bracket with six 42lb suit case weights, Im guessing was 2000lb gross. i would say it gives a v8 gasser a run for its money in terms of low end torque it is not fast but feels unstoppable.
Great info and happy to hear that. Did you do the stage 2 tune? I have stage one from Diesel Freaks and I'm seriously consider 2, but I am very happy with the stage 1. I am curious if you changed out your clutch? I am not really wanting to tackle that right now and I see it's recommended for stage 2.
I have the stage 2 tune with the intercooler I'm still on the oem clutch I haven't had a problem with it slipping but I don't abused it. Wouldn't recommend trying to launch it or anything😂
That was an excellent review. Enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is pretty cool, been looking for side by side but don't really need one and was wondering about Mahindra, they make good tractors. Thank you
Glad I could help, we love ours.
Andrew that’s a good vehicle for what you use it for. I had a Polaris Ranger Northstar not a big fan of them.
Those are way overpriced in my opinion. I can get a nice truck for what they cost.
Is your Polaris Ranger the diesel version? What is a good price for a used one of these?
No it's the gas 800. I've seen these used anywhere from $12k up for the roll bar version. Can is harder to find and slightly used is usually $20k +
Love the build!
That thing looks so cool, it looks like a model T jeep lol
Edit, reached the point where you said they bought the CJ rights, that makes sense
These are very interesting vehicles. Thanks for the review. I am sorry to hear that the hard top leaks. That would make it problematic in the Pacific Northwest. The original Roxor had no hard top option, but there was a firm that made an aluminum top and door kit for it, which looked to be very well designed and executed.
The lack of jumper seats in the back of the new Roxor is a loss, IMO.
There was a little known vehicle made for the Canadian armed services in partnership with VW called the Iltis which you might find interesting. It was 4WD open top light weight vehicle with a 1.6 liter TD engine (as was used in the Jetta of the late 1980's). It was the complete antithesis of the Hummer, but part of the drive to a single fuel (diesel) in order to simplify logistics.
Let's address this, I do have a jumper seat for mine, aftermarket. There are a lot of aftermarket tops, sides, windshields and backs. Build as you wish, these do leak as do any old school jeep like this. Some love the idea of hosing it out and going on with your day.
@@TheKelleysReviews Absolutely. The feature of being able to hose out the floor in the Jeep is a real bonus. But, the leaking top would be a problem if you live in a region that has a long wet season, like Western Washington, Oregon, and the Northernmost part of California. It makes it difficult to keep the windshield from fogging up constantly.
I realize that the original JEEP design from Austin America and it's descendents clear up through the 1970's had leaking issues. I think even the USPS delivery vehicles that were derived from the JEEP had leakage issues. This wouldn't be a problem of significance in most of the world.
A fellow here in town has one as his everyday driver … he drives it on area highways…
Very interesting, thanks!
Thank you for watching
I've never heard of these... Very good review, I'm very familiar with them now!
Glad you enjoyed it
I would like to see one that has the springs on top of the axle
The Roxie has been on my radar for a few years, nice wheeler!
We absolutely love it
How do you make that street legal. You swap engine with matching tranny or replace the tranny. What about the mounting. Please let me know what i need to do. I’m thinking of buying one and how much is it?
Dirt Legal is the company I used, they have all the information on their website here www.dirtlegal.com?aff=163
I love my 95 Tracker, super reliable and definitely also highly off-road capable. I think that qualifies... for about $20k less, lol. I can't lie, though, I would totally pick one of those up if my budget allowed hahaha!
This is perfect I want one someday can't justify it now though.
It looks like an old original style of thee Jeep Military “MB.”
Boy Howdy! I was very upset that Jeep went away from the small narrow Jeep size!❤
It's got a lot of styles mixed into one. I love the compact size.
I have never seen one of those. Super cool.
I'm amazed how many people don't know about these.

7:29 He's right on the tight corners. The Roxor can have problems with turns and you can quickly get into a tight spot if you're not careful. My FIL bought one and tipped his on it's side after he over-steered into the hillside.
Flat ground here in Florida and this has a wider stance than my Polaris ranger. I find it plenty stable enough for the type of riding I do.
@@TheKelleysReviews I live in Utah with plenty of mountainous trails and roads with hairpin turns.
