    Ok this is one that people will think I have lost my mind. I actually would buy one of those if there was a 4 wheel drive option, but nothing is to say i couldn't take another rear drive unit section the axles make an independent front drive with CV joints

    I am reminded of the custom golf carts popular in Florida retirement communities.

    Yes and they are considered street legal within the community that is.

    I seem to remember some sort of NEV rating (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) that allowed you to use non-highway rated vehicles on side streets. I haven't seen that in a while.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighb...ectric_Vehicle

    I would definitely buy that. The dump trailer is super useful. Throw a linear actuator on that and it would be a great light duty vehicle for around the property.

    I wonder if Harbor Freight is looking into these. A large bulk purchase could cut down those shipping costs that individuals are paying. The guy who made the video that Frank posted followed up with some better tires and a rooftop solar panel.

    The more I read and watch about this little truck the more I like it One thing I particularly like is the overall body style It has that boxy square body design that looks retro 80s/90s

    You could always add more batteries for extended range and reserve power
