Other than its an H2/H3 this would be a wicked BOV.

I liked this one––JR1 and I saw one in town last year. Topkick Ironhides sold by Monroe Truck http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u142/PA22-400/trucks/mtetopkick_ironhide03.jpg I see lots of those type trucks around town... Most of them are clad in neon-pink graphics with big assed stickers all over them.. I think it would be pretty cool in a more subtle time but I can't get past the lack of ground clearance for how big it is., That, and it weighs a god awful amount. It is so wide and long it would never make it up any jeep trails without serious body damage. but it could drive the shit out of some roads

He's talking about the weight rating classes for trucks and no you don't need a commercial license to drive one but some states, like CA, do have a non-commercial CDL you can obtain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_classification Also the Topkick/Kodiak series trucks were never meant for off-road use, hence the minimal ground clearance. They are available in 4 wheel drive but it's for snow and off-road commercial applications rather than recreational 4 wheeling. They fill that gap between 1 ton pickemup trucks and Class 7 and 8 trucks. And I'm pretty sure GM no longer makes them. |

Now I have to tell myself that it is better that I don't have one right now. |
