The KIRAVAN - MAYBE THE ULTIMATE EXPLORATION VEHICLE
OWNER BUILT THIS FOR HIS 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER...
READ THE STORY AND SEE THE PICTURES and you'll see what the headline is all about...When you have a lot of money and a lot of smarts,
it's amazing what you can design and build!!

That's just stupid, I read the story down to the drawing of the vehicle and gave up. It is an interesting marvel of design but not very practical.

Love the center of gravity issue. Long wheelbase. Basalt would turn this insanity into hazardous chatarra in a flash. Off road, it's tough to beat a
horse, a saddle and a string of pack mules.

That is not my version of camping. That rig won't get you anyplace worthwhile in Baja.
