Wonder how it drives. Seems like it would be prone to tip over around curves or turns. Also seems like it would do spins in the rain or smooth surface. I have a hard time visualizing someone taking this out in the mud. Why didn’t someone didn’t put a standard height suspension and tires so it would be drivable?

This is like a large coffee table. IMHO. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

I thought huge Mickey Thompson Baja off-road tires would have looked good on it rather than those big semi-truck tires. They almost look like aircraft landing tires.

The jack-up is required by the oversized tires combined with turning ability. I see maybe 5” of suspension throw, and that’s not excessive.

Leaving a normal body height would have required cutting out the body and wheel wells. Even then, that would have crowded the oversized engine.

...Compromises.
