    It is the overall length of a CJ7 but 1/2 a foot narrower and 1/2 a foot taller and 1/2 a foot longer wheelbase.


    Their first version, where they were sued, has a hood like that of CJ5/7.
  • It was the front grill that had to be the changed, not the hood. Look at the slats on the Mahindra verses the Jeep (that was the result of the suit).
  • Probably want to be careful loading it in a toy hauler. Those things are HEAVY! I think I saw where they were over 3000lbs!!

    "Mahindra has quite a history of building Jeep-like vehicles, with their very first offering being the forefather of the current Thar (on which the Roxor is based); that first car was essentially a Willys CJ-2A Jeep shipped to India as a knock-down kit and assembled under license back in the late 1940s. It’s these “grandfathered” licenses that allow the company to build such Jeep-like vehicles."

    Thanks for the interesting info.

    So they licensed this all over the world.

    Mitsubishi had Willy's running in Asia.
