Our personal favorite? That has to be the Jeep Nukizer 715 (above). While the name could use a little work, this truck is the epitome of what we want to see Jeep produce. Designed as an homage to the legendary Kaiser M-715, this beastie makes use of a J8 two-door body and an aftermarket AEV Brute pick-up bed. Chrysler's engineers built that leaning front nose out of carbon fiber, and stretched the frame to 124 inches to make a little more room for the new bodywork. It only gets better when we start talking drivetrain. At its beating heart, the Nukizer 715 uses a 2.8-liter tubo-diesel four-cylinder mated to a four-speed slusher. A Dana 44 axle sits up front, backed up by a Dana 60 in the rear, both with 5:38 gear ratios. Perfection? You're looking at it.

What is the point of this vehicle? Is it supposed to be some super off-road vehicle? If that's the case I would still take a Bowler Wildcat over this, I couldn't do the new Nemesis because it looks so soft now.

That's bad ass.

The point is....there doesn't need to be a point for it. What's the point of a Veyron? What's the point of a Koeniggsessiggseggsiiseggsiggsegg. There doesn't need to be a point when something is badass.

I agree. It's like saying whats the point of a ferrari when you can build a civic that's faster for less than 1/100000000000000th of the price.

But owning a Ferrari will get a girl to drop a set of panties a whole lot quicker than a civic.

Thats just bad ass!!


Love it!

Looks like a beast. the only thing i don't like about it, is that the roof looks chopped to me.

You can't really compare a modern Bowler to a 60's Kaiser M-715 in the same way you can't compare that Bowler against a Series 1 Land Rover.

This is just a Kaiser front on an upgraded Jeep frame. And in the grand scheme of things, the Bowler is a race truck but lacks some features that you'd want in a proper off roader that you'd take driving on the street like an open roof. The bowler has to be able to land upside down and survive but I'd prefer a soft top for what I'd be doing.

Real 1967 Kaiser M175


Has anyone more pics of this one? I saw it featured on the tv show "Trucks" a few years ago.


Try to guess who makes this one.

Yea, in the real world.....On Import Atlanta, a Civic with Rota's, a lip and some springs, gets young men to drop their panties a whole lot quicker than anything else, and it's alot cheaper.

Nothing i hate more than how close minded the Civic loop tends to be nowadays.

And they loom at me odd when i talk about Honda's without the grocery list everyone as now.

Why can't they do this for a change on a street car?

Calm down, I was just trying to figure out if this is some new miltary vehicle, Dakar, or Baja vehicle. I'm not into off-road vehicles and just wanted some additional info.

I would kill 3 people for that green Jeep...

Maybe because the American market for cars like this won't ever exist. Tell me how many "real" Honda owners would go out and buy this cash instead of leasing?

That has nothing to do with what you buy. Leasing is never a good idea to get into a car.

Exactly.. No body would ever buy the car so why even bother mentioning bringing it here?!
