Tag axle. I’d be surprised if that even had any springs under it. ?
All for looks and kinda dumb. Basically a 4x4 with spare parts dragging along behind you. On the bright side, if you had a flat could probably chain-up one side like an old tandem boat trailer! ?

I think it's real. Since it's located in SoCal, might be the work of the folks at the following site: https://www.6wheeljeep.com/

They're a limousine manufacturer so I wouldn't doubt their ability to create a quality product, but beyond the novelty factor their isn't much compelling about a 6-wheel Jeep of any model.
From the 6 Wheel Jeep site:
" NOW OFFERING 6 WHEEL DRIVE CONVERSIONS"
So it could be a live axle.

I bet that’s just a tag axle. No way they did all the work to have both rear axles getting power.
Well, if they didn't, then I don't see the point.

Six wheelers have been running around SOFL for months, diesels, v8 vette engines. I have been up close and personal and these seem to be much cleaner finished product than the Cali one.

Does the 3rd axle have power?

I love that they left the air damn on the Cali one. Between the bumper and the fender. This must be the "every available option."
