timmymac Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was thinking about building a challenge truck myself but dont have the time. I was going to start with a base like this if anyone else is intersted in it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAT-PANDA-BASED-OFF-ROADER-2-OR-4-WD-VERY-WELL-BUILT_W0QQitemZ120530665394QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item1c102fffb2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandRover Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Did the guy who built this lose a bet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 You may laugh, but a decent set of tyres on this and it would probably embarrass a lot of LR owners! Ground clearance would be its downfall, oh, and looking like it came out of a 1942 VW factory!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground clearance would be its downfall, oh, and looking like it came out of a 1942 VW factory!! I had a panda once, liked it a lot, great in the smow,very adgile and would outmanover a suzi, BUT, no low range, diff front breaks if asked to do anything strenuous, tiney cvs, no power or torque, make a better quad or comper than challenge truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Unless I'm missing something - those tractor tyres will never fit in the arches. Very light vehicle, so might do well off road. Be embarrassing to drive it with anyone you know nearby Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was at the devils pit years ago, and there were 2 guys there with fiat Pandas. They were truly amazing on the long steep hills; driving where I didnt have a hope in hell. Not good in deep ruts or deep mud though.

landroversforever Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well Fiat Panda's are used daily to drive up to the top of Mount Vesuvious! I laughed when I saw them at the top!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmymac Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 I can see a bidding war beginning already. As alot have mentioned it is light so could do well plus a couple of good winchs would pull it about easy, or in half. but doesnt really have that aggresive look of a landy.
