Great job and creative use of panels. Can't wait to see it together!

Very clean design , love it !

Looking great although I have a few remarks. I see quite some pinholes along the sides of the hood and the roof. Can't you replace the outer liftarms in the hood with #1 and #2 connectors? And maybe something similar in the roof? Other things: The vehicle seems to sit a little deep in its rear suspension making it lean slightly backwards. Also the roof seems to lean backwards. These two things take it a little away from the Subarute feel imo.

I just realized that I didn't properly inflate the rear suspension... oops.

I'll look into the pin hole remark, but it really isn't much of an issue from other angles.

Looks good, but I can not justify the third party tires here, they are too balloony and thus a bit off. In my opinion the Unimog tires are better choice for your UTE.

Congratulation for the price, well deserved!

Aha, that must be the reason.

Overall it's a very cool build with extraordinary suspension .

Thank you   Inflating the suspension doesn't solve the roof line, though, which is something I'm not too happy about myself. Haven't done anything to fix it though

Went on a trip to take pictures yesterday, here's a teaser:
