Mahindra is one step closer to selling Roxor in USA

[JCHGlad]

Now the value of the original CJ style went up exponentially.

I saw one during vacation in Indy last Summer. Wasn’t impressed but it did have a funny sticker on the dash.

I have a Mahindra 3640 tractor, it's a solid piece of equipment.

That redesigned front end is tragic, looks like they caught a Russian design engineer in a gay brothel and blackmailed him into redesigning the Roxor grille for free. Jokes on them I suppose.

I would guess they are steadily producing re-fit kits so the consumer can change his own grille over.

Mahindra does make a nicer, road ready "jeep" although I don't immediately remember what it is called.

My experiences with the Royal Enfield currently made there is they are corrosion magnets with the same "just good enough" alloys and paint we came to know from the Jap Bike invasion of the 60s. Perhaps these are better? Huge recycling of metals industry there and I wonder about QC. A back alley metalsmith can make you an AK but would you pull the trigger? Merry Christmas!

They over-build the shit out of everything, ostensibly to offset concerns for questionable metallurgy. If you understand materials and machining technology, it is not hard to see that they are using equipment and materials that long ago faded from cutting edge manufacturing, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad, and in the case of some things like tractors it makes them heavy, which is frequently a good thing.

Their engines are however pretty reliable and durable both, I have a friend who owns a New Holland/ Mahindra dealership and he speaks highly of them.

I wonder if they’ll sell a replacement front end to convert it back to a good looking little machine...sell it as an “after market” part to side step fca

Somewhere in China a political prisoner is hard at work designing an appropriate angry bird grille to refit the Roxor. Amazon will soon have them and if they are successful , said prisoner may be spared a 7.62 round to the base of the skull.

So sad, but true.
