Again just certain types of work, this wasn't the point at all, no one is ever going to say its suitable for all work, however for many types it will be

Here's some new shots that grabbed my attention

Right hand drive for Scary

And one of those prototypes on the road, seen on back of car carrier.

Interior and ladder detail.

Finally a 4x4 that looks good with a hard rooftop tent.
