This is the neatest thing I never knew existed until 10 minutes ago.

Now I want to spend my evening looking at them online...

I think I will get to drive one!  And if I read between the lines, do a burnout in one!

indeed you shall! And I think you will help source brake and suspension component alternatives

I had never heard of them before seeing it on the auction site. The company is around and responsive, but there is almost no info/forums on it. 10-10 would recommend. I drove my wife around the area where my school is today and after initially dreading the experience admitted to it being fun. It also has a 1000 payload and disc brakes to do serious work, and is aluminum and fiberglass so no rust issues!

I'm an idiot. It's an EXV2, not the way I transposed the letters. 
 

this thing is awesome, and just keep chugging along. I need to grease the zerks and do some work to the suspension and brakes, but it is a huge help. We have daily thunderstorms and the door seals, don't. The humidity is so much that tools I've left on the seat on days it doesn't rain still get surface rust over the weekend. I love this truck, I hate this place.

It's ridiculously hot/humid here, and this puppy didn't come with the optional fan, just the blower to defrost and heat. So I tapped into a spare circuit, 3D printed a mount and shroud for a PC fan, and made a janky blower to help keep the sweat out of my eyes. I will make it more permanent and pretty when it's cold out.

I don't have a ton to update. This thing is just awesome. The Hawker AGMs I dropped in are doing great, as is the little lithium 12V battery. I 3D printed a computer fan enclosure for a little additional airflow in the hot months, as the one chilly morning the heater worked fine. I can't recommend this highly enough if you need a little electric workhorse trucklet.

I need to repair the hood fibreglass, deepclean and paint it, and refresh some bushings and the like but it just keeps working!

Just a place holder for future a upgrade to 15 inch wheels with something a bit more offroady & meaty on it. Feel free to chime in with options!

It's currently 5 x 4.5?  If so, jeep wheels.

If not, 4 x 100 is arguably more popular in the small wheel diameter sizes.

Great time pulling a trailer full of students with this beast in the Christmas parade!

I was a little worried about the weight with the cold, but only used about 50% battery.
