Pete M Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 when you absolutely, positively have to attract all the attention. the 3rd axle is just a dummy axle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273693188905?_trksid=p11021.c100851.m5053&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170803121420%26meid%3D78bb2a4011394347b7625a00d4e6e0e1%26pid%3D100851%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26b%3D1%26sd%3D183677194303%26itm%3D273693188905&ul_noapp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Shouldn't that be "6x4"? It's interesting as a demonstration that some people have too much time and money on their hands, but I don't see any practical use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierokid87 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It's a good show of skill and a fun way of adding 3rd row seating? Maybe they wanted extra stability when towing their off road trailer? Either way it's interesting. But they should have figured out a way to drive the extra axle also..

Keyav8r Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 $78,900 starting bid. Really? If this guy could patent whatever he’s smoking/snorting/injecting he could make enough money to buy the Sahara Desert to drive that thing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Someone will drop they kinda $ just so they have something no one else has. It's amazing how much money people will spend too feel special!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same stuff FCA smoked when deciding to place the new Gladiator in the luxury lifestyle market. And depending on how much the new truck costs, I think I'd rather have this, I could rip those seats out and actually have a bed that can haul things.

WahooSteeler Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 While adding on to the frame at the rear and installing a dummy axle is no small task, I'd actually be impressed and a fan if they had stretched the frame and kept it as 2 axles and essentially have a Jeep "Suburban".

Having said that, there just may be an idiot out there who has more money than brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have a ton of money some are just real low in the brains department! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm really sick of seeing these 6x builds, not just with the Jeep. I know they are promotional builds and all, but they have no practical use for most people. One thing I have noticed is that these builds get people (reporters) who know nothing about cars/trucks/Jeeps to talk about them and marvel! The only place I could see this as being even partially practical is in the sand where flotation and traction are needed. Beyond that, they are stupid. My 2 cents.
