Great for a glacier, but all the places I've wheeled that thing would be left back in the parking lot. Too long, terrible break over angle and in many places too wide. Still, I bet that thing is a blast in it natural environment.

LOL @ the spoiler.
It gets 16L/100km ???? Thats better than my Astro! Must be the 5-speed auto + diesel.

I'm also surprised it only weighs 2200 kg (before mods).

I have a German car and it is a 928 Porsche. But when it comes to glacial travel I like my van. :usa:
