The Polaris DAGOR is a compact military machine that uses a trophy truck-style suspension for extreme off-road capability and was developed in partnership with Roush Industries of NASCAR fame.

The purpose-built military machine is about the size of a four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, but can fit up to nine warfighters onboard: four in the cabin, four in the bed, and a roof gunner positioned in a sling seat suspended from the roll cage.

The 4,500-pound vehicle is powered by a diesel engine of unspecified origin, has a range of 500 miles and can haul up to 3,250 pounds. It's long-travel suspension features Fox off-road shocks.

Absofrickinglutely want

I'd rather it be a 2 seater just to shorten and lighten it up, but do want.

I hope those are some bigger tires than they look with that kind of weight though.

Try a Ford Lion V6 3.0 turbo diesel. This is a direct competitor to Boeing's offering which uses a Fiat 3.0l turbo diesel.

I doubt a ford engine can pass durability testing on JP8 with the fuel pump issues they've had.

Jew rims...

I pledge allegiance
To the fights
On behalf of the State of Israel
And to the zionists
For which it stands
One nation
Of God
Indiscriminate
With settlements and blockades for all

I doubt you even know the engine in question. Euro-spec Land Rovers use them and they designed with oil baffles for offeoad usage. Don't be ignorant.
