I don't see why the mini pickup wouldn't be street legal, but the mini is wider than 55in
oh my mistake, the mini is dead on 55
I think the mini pickup would probably be too expensive though, not many were made and most rusted to shit so they're rare as hell now
Its also front wheel drive, and would be useless off road
uh... I think you'll find that a) fwd is usually better than rwd off road and b) the mini, aside from the lower than ideal clearance, is damn good off road for what it is
<:what:382980756139409409> Nigga, go get yourself a VW beetle.
fwd better off-road my ass
the mini was better than the beetle
and much better off road
That's not off-road, that's gravel.
the problem with the mini off road was the sump was somewhat vulnerable
also the beetle is too wide for your criteria anyway
I wasn't saying it was. I'm just comparing a similar vehicle class with a different engine arrangement
A mini couldn't do that methinks
not without being lifted and would ideally want wider wheels pushing it over the 55in
the clearance is the main issue though, like I said the sump is pretty vulnerable
I honestly wouldn't think a trike would do well on that either though
holy shit
I've been down a road like that in multiple normal fwd cars, tire placement ends up being the most important thing.
it's 11 inches over on width but it would be ideal, and cheap
Lol we ain't got Ladas
closest appx is the Wrangler, CJ and YJ
And the Samurai/Jimny
If you're in the US you could bring anything in over 25yrs right?
Yeah, but import fees, and then parts, etc
A working lada niva is probably gonna cost like 3-4k USD with import fees
they are not expensive cars
A running Samurai is like 1500
significantly larger than the niva though
is it?
the niva is a tiny hatchback basically
but with awd
it's a weird little thing
I think they're the same size
Oh I didn't know how slim the samurai was
damn
the samurai is probably the best option then really
