    Default How often do you see a sedan recover a full-size truck?

    OK, so the Volvo Sugga isn't your typical sedan...

    To be honest, there's not that much "typical" left on that Sugga. Nice looking truck though. But I'd rather see one in mint ex.mil condition.

    haha! they sink all that money and effort into building those "things" and all they can swing as a recovery strap is a $5 ratchet strap from the dollar store?

    Here's a 2 door car pulling a big truck out of some snow.

    Now that's something you don't see everyday.

    I've been dreaming of getting an AMC Eagle SX4 and modernizing it a bit. That one looks great, but somehow, I'm thinking it's had a LOT of work done to it, maybe a solid front axle swap to begin with... Very nice.

    Yup it's got a solid axle up front, lockers front and rear and a 4.7L fuel injected stroker that he built 15 years ago. Here's one with just a low range transfer case and front and rear locker with the IFS.

    No worries. It wasn't much of a thread to begin with.

    I like the mostly-stock one in the video link you provided. Me and my brother-in-law used to go hunting back in CO with a '68 Rambler American. It's amazing where you can go with a stock 2wd car when you don't care what happens to it...

    Damn-it, now I really want one... Too many dream projects. I'll keep with the Celica for now, it pretends to be a pretty good mountain goat too.
