    Mahindra Roxor

    Made in India, just another side by side or golf cart, not street legal. Jeep sued them and they had to change the grill. Altho I don't see much resemblance.. The new grill is an improvement but I'm waiting for Toyota to sue them now.

    Jeep rolled into creek

    So 10 days later, whats the verdict? This is one I'd take to the dealership. The risk of doing it wrong is kinda high. File an insurance claim and be happy.

    Highline JK LCOG build thoughts

    Always a fan of the highline "look" but is the wheel well metal body big enough to articulate with big tires.
