The only one of those that makes any sense at all is the EarthCruiser EXP. The new one has a 6.0 GM gas engine with Allison transmission, lo/hi range and locking axles.

Wonder how those Fuso's that were being build at SMBW are doing. I always thought earthroamers were nice until I saw one in person. It was huge! Other that the smaller versions like the small GEV, I feel they are way too big for my backcountry trails.

that enclosed atv bay is an awesome idea, but the rest of the rig is way too big for the places we like to go. same with most of the rest of those rigs

Pretty sure SMB gave up on the AllTerrainWarrior they were working on. They sold a couple, but that was it I think. The website is still up, but they haven't put anything on Facebook or anywhere else in a couple years. They probably have move van business than they can handle, so why bother with a few of these units per year.

I agree. Have you ever noticed all their in-use pics are all in wide open areas like prairies, without a tree for miles around? These definitely have a serious cool factor, but would be of no use to me in the places I want to go.
