There's nothing badass about that in any way shape or form, it's stupid. If you want a G-Wagen, get a G-Wagen.
If you want a triple axle badass machine get a Deuce of some sort.

/thread | You're forgetting, the G-Wagon is fundamentally a commercial and military vehicle.
Canada and many other countries spec G-Wagons for military use.
America's choice of the Deuce and Hummer makes them the odd ones, because they are unfavorably large in many circumstances. Now, lets see some G-Wagons that are actually cool.

The only war capable machine I need for my take-over: 
Off-road capable and I can deploy my force of freedom fighters anywhere in the country.

Now, lets see some G-Wagons that are actually cool. | Not forgetting don't worry  just think the 6 wheeled version is overkill/useless. I can't really see any benefit to it having 6 wheels - no way in hell it needs the extra axle for towing, frame is probably the limiting factor. Offroading if it has a set of lockers it's fine.
Just think this one off example/option is silly. G-wagen's on their own are wicked machines, equivalent to Rubicons and Defenders. There's a local guy with a G-wagen on 37's with little to no lift, thing goes anywhere.

The G is by far one of my favourite vehicles. Completely overpriced for what it is, but a total utilitarian in every way shape and form. That is if your not afraid of scratching it 
One day... somehow

There's nothing wrong with a 6 wheeled G-Wagon, especially when it's going to tackle the sand dunes of Middle East (which is where its going.) I think the larger unimogs are classed as tractors and not road vehicles, that puts it in a whole different game.
If it wasn't for fuel consumption, I'd definitely save up for one.

I was never a fan of the G class. Stupid expensive and it still has recirculating ball steering. I'll pass.

I can see that being adventitious for truck designed to carry light cargo, like people. Tough question though, I'm not too confident with my guess. Quote:

If it wasn't for fuel consumption, I'd definitely save up for one. | Large commercial vehicles are classed as tractors, because they're designed to carry, pull, or push large payloads.
It's still a road vehicle, and is distinctly different from something like an agricultural tractor or backhoe. Quote:
