The museum can have cars that aren’t typically allowed in the states, but has anyone seen any civilian ones besides Chase's?Museum I believe does have a civilian and a military. Proffitts also has a miitary

Interesting… I didn’t even know they made a civilian style mega cruiser until I saw the video, and I didn’t even know they made a military style cruiser until a couple of years ago. I’ll be interested to see how it wheels in Moab as well. Chase, what’s the toughest run you think you’ll run with it? Is it ready to wheel out of the box right now or do you have some maintenance you have to get done, or are you waiting to get your hands on it. Pretty cool to see something different, I’m excited about that.Regarding Sergey’s comments: He’s referring to BXD-20’s (Civilian version) and obviously didn’t include BXD10’s (military version) in his tally of stateside mega cruisers- everyone, including him, knows about the military trucks here. BXD-20’s are another story… No, I don’t make any claims as to how many 20’s are here but like sergey, I know of only one off hand. There certainly will be more here before we know it. I don’t have an opinion as to weather the term mega cruiser is more fittingly applied to BXD20’s than BXD10’s though some people seem to... I believe the thinking goes that the term “mega cruiser” originated with the BXD-20 and was only then retroactively applied to their militarily derived predecessors. I really don’t know.
I don’t plan to make a car show style info placard for this thing. Nor do I plan to become a commentator on all things mega cruiser.
I just want to wheel the shit out of this thing. Now who’s with me?

It would seem to be in the same vein as the Hummer H1 and HMMWV. You can go just about anywhere but eventually you're no longer driving a road and instead are making one.The real question is, how much do you care about body damage. The mega cruiser platform is insanely capable, it's really just the body that holds it back. The rear steer is so much fun to drive with in tight areas, I've whipped Kitty around in some super tight places, never having to back up. I know Proffitt's runs 6-7s all the time at Cruise Moab.
At cruis Moab I've wheeled with Proffitt in his Military Mega Cruiser a couple times. 7 mile Rim and Poison Spider Mesa were the two I remember. I know these aren't tough trails. I think 4-5 rating. He had to go around a narrow spot on 7 mile but otherwise it ran like neither of those were even a challenge.Interesting… I didn’t even know they made a civilian style mega cruiser until I saw the video, and I didn’t even know they made a military style cruiser until a couple of years ago.

Ad mentioned. The museum has a.civilian one also. The military one was hard for them to get. It had to be quartered and brought in in pieces, then welded back togetherThe museum can have cars that aren’t typically allowed in the states, but has anyone seen any civilian ones besides Chase's?
All the military ones here arrived in pieces.
Mega's are great for carrying kegs.
@DanielChase we will definitely roadtrip to Proffitt's. Two vehicles and like 20 people?
