I knew they made the 3B (Mahindra 4A), but a CJ5 look alike is new. Kind of cool really

ATV's and rails are street legal with proper lights and mirrors. And a lot of these will do 55 MPH. I don't know... up to 18k for something that is almost as "big as a real Jeep" but can't be safely driven on the freeway and needs to be trailered?
Bling, Status symbol, Billboard for the rich and foolish. A glorified Suzuki samurai. If it's that big I would rather dump 10k in a real one that I could safely drive down the freeway like a Jeep or Samurai*.
(* well kinda... still iffy on a samurai being safe on the freeway... lol)
I know you get what I'm saying. Now if it would do at least 65 and be freeway legal it would be pretty cool because of the diesel.

For example in Canada if you have a tag of RUM (recreational use motorvehicle) it can never be road legal.

I agree, it does depend on location and laws. But in most states in the U.S. even a golf cart can be registered street legal with lights, mirrors and a windscreen for use on surface streets and only restricted to no freeway access or where posted. Even Ca has a "special vehicle" classification for this. And in most states if it weighs under a certain amount it is not even required to have fenders.

Until recently, It was the same in Az. Even cars didn't require registration or insurance if it was only on dirt roads. Only recently they started to lean "socialist blue" and decided they could make more fee money and ticket revenue money if they changed it. But anything can still be made street legal with the proper equipment, even quads. And all that is required is eye protection or windscreen, not even a helmet.

We also have a "farm use" designation for vehicles that qualify. Not sure what it takes though. I know neither tags or inspection are required.

Way back when I had a '46 CJ2A that I plunked a Buick V6 in among other things there was a company in CA. They made brand new CJ2A and 3A looking Jeeps with small block Chevy engines and supposedly everything was brand new. Of course in the mid 70's you could buy a new frame for them for about $1500. Through JC Whitney. I always thought it was a cool idea. Now if that thing was more real that would be kinda cool too.

It's neat and all... but for that price, weight, and a top speed of 45mph, I say money not worth spending. Not to mention they don't even make them street legal.
You can have 4 capable trail rigs that are street legal for 18k. granted they won't be badass top dollar builds but they would also be just as fun and not require you to call up the manufacturer for every little part you break

Seen them mostly on equipment and wagons but can't say I've ever seen one on a pick-up. Not saying the law don't require them but farmers pretty much get a free pass on most traffic laws when it comes to their running farm equipment and such on the road.

The history behind "Husbandry" rights goes all the way back to ancient Sumeria believe it or not.
