37 inch wheels? If that were true, the truck would be over 120 inches
tall - measure it yourself with a ruler. Phhhhht! The author is a
moron.

How long would a camera continue to function under an off road
vehicle? How long would the lens even stay clean enough to see
through?

Build it without all the electronic foofoorah and it could be a pretty
interesting rig. I like the look. A 4 door diesel powered Wrangler
(Dakar) makes more sense to me.

Perhaps the author measured the overall height or some such
idiocy. This *is* Forbes, after all.

I wouldn't mind seeing that 305 hp/555 ft-lb diesel in the
GC rather than the Hemi.
