So Frank when are you going to start building a stretched Mog?Imagine taking it up the Hogs Back!It would be alright if it was one of those modified eight wheelers from Asia,but a four wheeler that long you'd just ground out!Then the unthinkable could happen and the vehicle would end up spinning around at the peak on it's chassis Bear

When I spent time in europe a few years back, I enjoyed the mogs doing the most intense off roading I have ever seen, rock climbing, etc.

The 6 wheeled mogs are intense.

That stretch truck aint too bad, years ago, my younger brothers friend's dad had a sstretch suburban with raissed roof. the thing was awesome.

Howdy Alon,
In Europe they like to test the big trucks off-road. So you see things like the U2450L Unimog (6x6), the 8 wheel Tatras and many others. One big event is the Europa Truck Trials. Then you have rallys like Paris to Dakar.

Years ago I saw a 4-door, 4 t-top, stretched late-70s Corvette! Sure wish I had a picture of that! Talk about "what's the point"....!

There's a few limo companies here in Atlanta that have stretch Hummers and stretch Navigators. Seem to be pretty popular for occasions like prom/dance nights, "business meetings" at the strip club, and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
