Was watching My Classic Car this morning and saw a Jeep Forward Control pickup. Had never seen one before and was amazed to see how big they were. The largest has a GVW of 16,000 lbs (must be when fully loaded I think). They were popular in other countries as well and even had a Crew Cab pickup in Spain.

I have seen a couple posted on CL and will post them up here when I run across them. They are hard to find, and not necessarily 'wheeling rigs, but more of a work truck with some offroad capability.

I stopped to see one for sale in Iowa when I was there this summer. It's pretty cool but not something I see myself buying at this pint though my friend has offered to pick it up for me since it's been sitting at the same business all summer.

The new Forward Control concept is really cool Colin. Checkin' out some of the features makes it even cooler.

Those were always cool little trucks! There is a guy in the springs that completely customzied one for show and has something like $60k + in to it. it is pearl white with candy orange flames.
