You have been asking for this modified for some time now… Well here it is we made it happen and this is one hell of a cool setup. A setup that is the result of 32 years of 4 Wheel Driving.
Get the note pads out as we discuss this build and talk about 4wding and camping in general. 60mins of golden content, enjoy…
