Building a street legal -SUPER CHEAP JEEP KNOCKOFF. The Mahindra Roxor 4k

[@hopegood5866]

Hats off to Indian's they just got the license production of the whilly's jeep and royal enfield and they have modified and created something splendid kept the tradition alive

Mahindra is making Mahindra Thar since WW2 as they are one of the original license holder to produce Willy's jeeps in the world. It's only now that they made a plant in America to produce the same with the name Roxor

[@andrewwinter7843]

Mahindra got their start in World War II building CJ 2 and CJ3 JEEPS for the China, Burma, India theater. These two are morons. It's an almost 75% replica of the CJ3. The only difference is the 5 speed tranny and the turbo charged, ( did they forget to mention that it's turbo charged? ), Diesle Engine.

[@tmaq9726]

Several had aquired licenses to make cj's, back in the day ford made jeeps for military.

[@fleonard4]

Well, it is. It’s not made by Jeep. So even if it’s 100% exact, which it isn’t, it’s still a copy or knock off. It even has improvements, and may be better in many ways, but that doesn’t make it original. Why does that trigger people?

Thing is, its not a knock off. Its an actual jeep. Mahindra holds the rights to it and jeeo sued them for it. In the end, mahindra won. Also, Jeeo parts work on it. Can buy locking hubs and so forth for ilder jeeps and itll install right in without issue.

While I don't know all there is to about the original liscensing, the FCA slamming a case on Mahindra seems more like a big company looking to bully smaller companies.

[@ZacharySolomon0429]

You do realize that they don't change it by choice right? They have to meet cafe fuel economy standards otherwise Chrysler will pay a hefty fine for every wrangler manufactured, the wranglers also have to meet federal and state highway safety regulations not only in the USA but Canada, Europe , Australia, and etc. Things like airbags, crumple zones, roll overs. Basically so you can almost walk away from a crash.

You can fix a lot of the turning issue by re-adjusting the turning stops. They're pretty conservative from the factory (probably to help keep people from rolling it).

[@singhhundal1]

Just for your knowledge and clarification and I know you "know the history of the vehicle" - a knockoff means when you copy a thing, but do you know that Willys overland helped set up the initial Mahindra factory lines to produce CJ2-A, CJ-3B after WW2, and those lines albeit modernized still run to these dates, till late 90s Mahindra used to badge these vehicles with jeep logos till the brand was with AMC. The same vehicle is what you are driving so I don't think its a knockoff - it may be cheap which is a good thing, but It is assembled in the USA, the quality control /support is good on these vehicles and they are actual jeeps but Not Jeeps and hence not a knockoff. When you buy your nike's/ under armors/ pumas' /armanis they might be made in Vietnam / Bangladesh /India ? but you still pay the big dollars right, do you call them knockoffs?

As long as people are doing the final assembly themselves, it is legal because they are buying "parts". People can make their own version of any product, the catch is you cannot make them and sell them because the manufacturer owns the copyright for the whole completed product. That does not mean they won't try to sue, anyone can be sued at any time.

[@Luciferishere]

Ever since WW2, Mahindra is one of the licence rights holder to produce Willy's jeeps and they have been producing Thar or cj3 in india long time and only recently started building Roxor in their plant in Michigan USA

[@ameyssawant]

Mr Genadek, with all due respect sir, The Mahindra's are legit owners of an manufacturing license. Since this a war bred machine, aesthetically it will always look same to preserve the essence of rugged family lines, also it's boxy shape and ultilitarian nature leave no scope for styling enhancements beyond a certain point. I rest my case here.

[@kenkrauklis765]

I really like these, making it street legal would be perfect. You can drive it daily plus go trail riding without having to tow it there on a trailer. Hope they can keep the price low.

[@rupammedhi9943]

Nice video and it’s not a knock off. Licensed a continuously in production for like 70yrs. And those hills doesn’t look anything big. Here in India you can find these chugging along remote areas with 10 people and luggage. If am not mistaken it’s the same engine that runs almost all utilitarian mahindras on various levels of tune. The modern mahindras get a better 2 or 2.2L with upto 140+ bhp

[@sandyx4522]

Those 2/2.2l 'new' engines are not better for off-road use by any stretch. Their torque comes at a higher rpm than the MDI engines in Roxor. And they are anything but simple.

Mahindra just kept alive the willy's tradition of off road jeep alive albeit with modern times it researched on more features which makes off road driving robust with fun of hanging around in jeep.
