They're basically the Singer of offroad. That's why I said "lotto". :lol:

I've been offroading with guys with G-wagons, and military vehicle guys that have 80 grand into the vehicle they spent years restoring.
They weren't rock crawling or jumping shit, but they weren't keeping them under glass either.

Oh, and the Urus/Bentayga/Cullinan crowd do? The guy that buys an ICON most likely offroads it.

Of course they don't either

Ya, but how about all that flowery shit about driving across the Serengeti they give you when you buy one? Is it just meaningless bullshit? :lol:
Still.
95% of the public are only gonna see this as an old Jeep with big tires. Its not going to be bought by the vapid label junkie the way the Lambo and Bentley SUVs are. Its not going to be featured in music videos with bikini girls draped over the hood. Its not going to be left out front by the valet.
This is something that the buyer wants because he wants it, not because he wants to show his wealth. With that considered, its not going to be a gonzo offroader. Its going to be the hunting cabin vehicle, he ski and fishing trip hauler that gets you down the back roads and fire trails.
It's lifted a bit too much, but nice

Agreed. Give it about 5" less.
Yeah, a bit less tire would be perfect.
Not my cup of tea.
I'm sure the height was specced by the guy that ordered this. In any case, I think a lot are comparing this to the later Jeep Grand Wagoneers. This is a Kaiser Wagoneer, and the 4WD models of those did ride a bit higher then the later Jeeps- not quite that high, but not much shorter either.
I like the color. I wish more manufacturers would make that gorgeous Navy Blue available in their palette. The white, black, shades of grey they all have is boring.
