SUPERB!!!

Seriously, I don't remember having so much fun with an SL vehicle before I get this. At the first night I spent a good time driving through the Mainland offroad tracks and it simply ROCKS! Rough terrain? That elevation looks too difficult? Stones and logs on the way? Simply select the low gearing and you're ready to go! It seems this wonderful vehicle will stop at nothing! And all this without mentioning the oustanding level of details, customization and settings. Driving is very smooth and realistic on the less challenging surfaces as well. This is THE car for those who really like offroad driving, since its scripted to be a REAL SL offroad vehicle, not just a pretty jeep for show. I will take you to places where other vehicles won't work! My only suggestion to the seller is to include a left hand driving version in the package, or turn it in another customization option through the menu. All in all, I would give 10 stars to this if I could!

Best Car I've Owned

This car is, by far, the best driving vehicle in SL. It's wonderful on rough terrain and is an absolute treat to drive and look at. I would definitely reccomend this to all who are on the fence about purchasing.

Fantastic Detail and Great to Opperate

Most detailed car I've ever seen in all of SL. Used them in my Adult Graphic Novel. Am encouraging SL's best builder to make more. Well done Arton!!

How to review this..

Wow would not be the right word. Awesome, doesn't quite cut it either. So I'm forced to be lengthy in this review.

The attention to detail is astounding, the sounds are amazing, the lighting, when I can risk having it on, is just dazzling, the handling is superb. I remember how it felt to get a ride in one of these. And it took a bit, but I got the settings just so that it sorta feels right when driving it around. I LOVE this vehicle, without a doubt the best one I own, and I have a few in my collection..

You can go fast, I can go anywhere!

I just finished the Mudskipper Review, so I figure I'll do this one too.
Another amazing vehicle. I love 4x4's in RL, favourite quote (which I have on the side of my expedition) is "Sure you can go fast, but I can go anywhere!" an this is SO true with these. Not wanting to bang on about it too much, but the ability to climb rocks, logs, whatever, is fantastic, I have a number of so called 4WD or AWD vehicles, an they're..... I cant use the word Id like to here.
If you have ever been driving a 4x4, an found it kinda embarrassing when your vehicle gets caught up on a road seam or something else ridiculous, just get one of these. An they're 100x more reliable than the RL versions ;)
All round another completely brilliant vehicle, always rezzed in my mainland home an regularly used to drive on and off the linden highway depending on how the sim crossings go.
Apparently someone even wanted to 'Jack my rover' once... GTA in SL, it must be good.
