    When I was a kid back in the 50's my dad had an old willy's jeep with a cab shaped like that. That first scene coming along the tree line brought back memories. We made Maple syrup in early spring and my mom would pile my sister and brother and me in the back with some big buckets to collect the sap. We'd start along the fence line and collect sap till we got to the far end, then had to drive slowly back so we wouldn't spill much. Pretty boring. One afternoon I suggested we start at the far end, it'd be faster cuz we could goose it across the field. Mom got a big grin on and off we went. We had 2 litters if beagle pups at the time, 13 puppies and one of the mothers were following. We did a wide circle of the field in about 6"of snow and it was glorious, we were hanging on tight and mom was givin it. There was a pear tree along the fence line we'd picked in the fall, and the dogs were running beside us as we passed it, mother dog out front Suddenly it seemed like the snow exploded under her and she flew into the air, through the tree branches and out the top, still running. I guess we left the ladder under the tree, now under the snow, and we ran over it with the jeep just when she ran over the far end. Anyways when she came back down through the tree she was running the other way back to the house with all the pups behind and seemed pretty much unscathed but kinda nervous for the next couple of days.

It now tops out at about 105mph. Running 36 inch tires off a polaris 1000 on it has a 6 1/5 lift with flipped axles added full snorkel and 10,000 lbs winch made by waren after the delete I get about 45 mpg, it has been roof deep in a swamp 2 times and walked in and out with no problems.

      I’ve towed heavy loads building a remote off-road cabin and used a 600 sportsman in water so deep I had to put my feet on the front rack. Then I got a 900 Ranger and I’ve never had a belt slip on either of them except after washing it. I put thousands of miles on the Sportsman and before I sold it I changed the belt which was still in good shape. The only problems I had were a starter and water pump on the Sportsman. I’ve had to change the wheel bearings on the Ranger because the long deep puddles are like a liquid pumice and wears the bearing seals.

    My first off-road build was a 75’ CJ5. After many iterations it wasn’t street legal, had a Chevy crate motor, was sitting on D60/D80 and 42’s and the only thing Jeep left about it was the original grill and a couple of trademark body/tub pieces. 😅 We currently have a TJ that has a D44/Ford9” and 36’s. And yes, to confirm you are running a D30/D44.
    There is so much off-road capability sitting there and the great thing is you also get reliability and comfort too with the heat/AC. I’d love for you to “take us along” on one of your off-road days like you do on the boat days.

These Roxors are using licensed Dana 44's front and rear; compare the diff cover. The transfer case is also a licensed Dana 20...

    I had a CJ5 a few years ago, it had zero leg room, none. I would recommend it only to people 5'5" or less. On top of that, it had an awful transmission where it would routinely get stuck in gear and this is a common problem lol. I had to drive it home from an hour away stuck in 2nd. You could perhaps get it unlocked by removing the boot, pull the shifter, and looking down the top of the transmission with a flashlight and popping the fork back out of the slot with a die bar or huge flathead. People forget Jeeps were AMC, and therefore horribly reliable haha.

    The Mahindra Roxor is a solid, work horse for ranch use. I drive one for work and we threw in somes upgrades to fit our needs, and it’s been an excellent rig. Bigger tires, lift kit, torque locker in the front differential, manual locking hubs, bilstein stocks and an engine retune. Even with open rear diff, it still a pretty good rock crawler. It has more bed space than the rest of the our sxs, so it’s great for haul hay, range boxes, fencing materials, etc. if you want a work rig and you don’t use it for play, the roxor is a solid pick.

    I worked for a large auto company in NZ in the early 70s, who were the main Toyota agents, also for Rambler, Peugeot, Renault, Daihatsu, Chrysler Australia, and Mahindra Jeep. The Mahindras were a copy of the original Jeep, with an engine which was a copy of the early Land rover motor (with overhead inlet and side exhaust) . One day the Mechanics took a CJ5 and a Mahindra down the road to a really steep slope to find out which was the best on hills. The CJ5 with the big 4.0L 6 cyl couldn't get up the slope, but the Mahindra drove around it easily to everyones' surprise. They were a bit roughly made and everything felt loose from new, but they did what they were supposed to.

    I have a 2019 Roxor with 6000 miles no problems, paid 15k brand new and gets 30 mpg. It is street legal as its my summer fun car, super mint condition. I dont have a truck so if i need to tow something i use the Roxor as it has 250lb of torque ,it is tuned. Used it to pull a utility trailer with a john deere 318 garden tractor on it with wheel weights, snow plow and a heavy hitch weight bracket with six 42lb suit case weights, Im guessing was 2000lb gross. i would say it gives a v8 gasser a run for its money in terms of low end torque it is not fast but feels unstoppable.

    I believe it's a CJ-3B that they liscense built and made minor changes too since the 1950s. Supposedly there are still parts that interchange with a Willy's CJ-3A or B. It's a shame it's giving you so much trouble, I wanted one before covid when they were $10-15k new or nearly new. In TN and a few other states they're road legal on B roads. I saw they they're speed limited and guys were tuning them, taking the limiter off and they were capable of over 70. I had the idea that if I wanted it to be fully playable and drivable everywhere that I would buy the cheapest Jeep tub with a title that I could find, do the bare minimum to use it's firewall, front end and whatever to use the Mahindra too "restore" the old Jeep. Weld in the parts of the old Jeep, repaint it, disguise it and go. They don't have inspection or emissions in TN so nobody would know accept me. I even thought it might be cool to stretch it and make it into an M170 so it would have a decent length bed, more wheelbase for better handling and it would probably work better with a lift, bigger tires and would allow longer, softer leafs that would have tons of articulation and improve the ride. I'd rather have the 3.70 or maybe something between 4.10 and 4.56 if my tires were 35", 37" or more to keep the rpms down and be easier on the engine.

    Great review! The only thing I would correct is both axles are a Dana 44 style axle. They’re not a Dana 44 but pretty much a clone. You cant buy Dana 44 parts and just bolt them in. For example you need a spacer if you buy a 44 carrier and the Roxor axles are 19 spline and I believe most 44’s are 30 spline. Again probably the best informative review on RUclips so far.

    These are very interesting vehicles. Thanks for the review. I am sorry to hear that the hard top leaks. That would make it problematic in the Pacific Northwest. The original Roxor had no hard top option, but there was a firm that made an aluminum top and door kit for it, which looked to be very well designed and executed.
    The lack of jumper seats in the back of the new Roxor is a loss, IMO.
    There was a little known vehicle made for the Canadian armed services in partnership with VW called the Iltis which you might find interesting. It was 4WD open top light weight vehicle with a 1.6 liter TD engine (as was used in the Jetta of the late 1980's). It was the complete antithesis of the Hummer, but part of the drive to a single fuel (diesel) in order to simplify logistics.

      Let's address this, I do have a jumper seat for mine, aftermarket. There are a lot of aftermarket tops, sides, windshields and backs. Build as you wish, these do leak as do any old school jeep like this. Some love the idea of hosing it out and going on with your day.

      @@TheKelleysReviews Absolutely. The feature of being able to hose out the floor in the Jeep is a real bonus. But, the leaking top would be a problem if you live in a region that has a long wet season, like Western Washington, Oregon, and the Northernmost part of California. It makes it difficult to keep the windshield from fogging up constantly.
      I realize that the original JEEP design from Austin America and it's descendents clear up through the 1970's had leaking issues. I think even the USPS delivery vehicles that were derived from the JEEP had leakage issues. This wouldn't be a problem of significance in most of the world.

I hate seeing massive comment arguments about which is better on videos for these little offroad vehicles, and all I can say is I love both Jeep and Mahindra, although at the end of the day, if I wanted something with more "luxury" and capability, I would have to go with Jeep. Overall when comparing these with a more modern 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and any newer Jeep, Jeep will out perform this is many ways, If you want something with the same use and capability as a 40s or 50s Willys, Mahindra is the way to go for that old simple design and function.
