Indian manufacturer Mahindra, is well know around the global for their farm equipment, big rig trucks and a manufacturer of Jeep’s under license from Jeep for several decades. In the United States, Mahindra is trying to push their line of utility vehicles or UTVs in the off-road market. Enter, the new Mahindra Roxor. This “side-by-side” looks virtually identical to a Jeep CJ-5.

The Roxor has a Peugeot sourced NGT520 5-speed manual transmission. It features a 2-speed manual transfer case, which is based on the Dana-18 and a speed limited capability of 45mph (the Indian version can do 80mph) to meet the United States UTV regulations rules.

Should Jeep work with a UTV owner to license and sell a CJ copy. Modern UTV suspension and engine. Its always better to knock off yourself then to be knocked off.

Would be pretty cool that way to make a modern day CJ-5 as a UTV... at least similar to the Roxor with more North American sourced parts.
