Awesome looking Jeep, one of the best looking jeeps seen. The interiors looks and feel rich, please do post more pictures once you receive them.

It has everything under the skin what most of the jeepers dreaming about. Great build.

But personally I feel it look like a street car rather than a true off roader.

prmd_cochin · 30th August 2010, 21:29

I need to see the dash. Nice work.

@sreejeshmp : Rohan is basically a designer and he wanted to make a Designer JEEP.Yes it is more like a JEEP intended for regular use as this is the only JEEP he has and has to be driven everyday. So he wanted the comforts of a car in the JEEP, later he might build a hard core off-roader..

@ jeepcaptain: He wishes to do only mild off-roading as this is a special JEEP that he would like to keep it for ever. If taken off-roading the body and chassis will become out - of shape and never can you bring it back to original fit, finish and shape. For him 'A scratch in the JEEP is like a wound in the heart'

@prm cochin: He wanted to do a fully new dashboard but due to time constraints he used this dash slightly modified.

More detailed Pictures.

please give more information on LED tail lights.
are they custom made or available off the shelf?
& price?

sreerajunnithan · 1st September 2010, 12:20

@Rahultomahawk and Jeepster:

The LED lights are from Mahindra customized vehicles like Bolero Commando, Stinger etc. The black light pods are made.

Thanks

Lovely Jeep. Coil Springs. Wish we had them on the gypsy

Very well executed design.

i saw this jeep on Jeep thrills and I even registered there to ask for better pix and here it is...I like this jeep big time.

DHABHAR.BEHRAM · 3rd September 2010, 08:35

Dear all - congratulations to Rohan George for his very genuine effort to build this vehicle. If I was in his place, I would also use it very carefully, after all the effort, time, money and passion that has gone into making it. It deserves a better name. Any ideas?

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

Mr. Behram said it deserves a 'better' name!

i think many people on this thread has already commented on naming the JEEP with a better name rather than calling it a ROADDOG!

because there is no load on chassis.

Chassis reinforced to improve torsional rigidity.
