Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is one absolutely mental engine swap. A !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , all for the low, low price of $3,500. I honestly can't think of an engine/chassis match more inappropriate (or wonderfully appropriate, depending on how you want to look at it) than a high revving Wankel rotary in a boxy Suzuki Samurai wannabe "SUV." It's brilliant in its stupidity. But don't try to lowball the engineering moron/genious that built this abomination/wonder machine, because he's got a baby on the way and needs the extra cash.

Okay so it has no 4WD......I'd still make it into a Dune Buggy.
Seriously, one of these would be stupidly simple to strip down to just some seats and controls, tube frame doors w/ rollcage for the whole passenger compartment, and basically lighten and simplify it to the minimum. You'd get better fuel economy and be gentler on suspension components for the little jumps and whatnot of bombing around a beach all day. Plus you can hose it out when you're done and drive it on public roads to get gas. The rotary just makes it all the more hilarious.
10/10, builder is an underappreciated mad scientist.

I'm not the biggest fan of Geo/Trackers in general. But this. This is highly tempting as a Hoonmobile.

But would you pay $3,500 for it?

Now all I can think about is swapping a tuned 13b into one of these. Would be hilarious/dangerous.

No, a twin-turbo 13B-REW, because fuck tires!

Four wheel drive wheelspin is the best wheelspin, twice the tire slaying.
