Why would anyone go through the expense to get and customize a truely great offroad truck and then put street treads on it?

If you lighten up the shadows Billy...

...you'll see some pretty aggressive tread on it...NOT uber off road..but not normal street.
Side walls are a bit winpy too !

I was merely wondering why someone would even need such an obvious off-road vehicle just for streets.

My bet is that it will see zero offroad use which in MY mind equals a big waste of money. Like rappers driving Hummers on 24's and rubberbands!

That's an awesome, overpriced Unimog!!!!

Unimogs & Pinzgauers are very popular in Colorado for wheeling. I'd personally go for the Pinzgauer because it's sized for the trails. Then again... with a top speed of 65 mph I wouldn't actually want one.

These are all for sale in Colorado from a "cold war" dealership. Where do you go to buy a tank?

Halfinger. I saw one of these on the trails with PBkid yesterday. It was about 2/3rd the size of the VX.
