another half top jeep
« on: November 09, 2010, 01:27:32 PM »
found this parked outside my house the other day, was gone in the morning so no day time shots.

Has anyone else seen this thing around town?

:O

I didn't know the Brutes could still fit a rear seat!
Guessing it has waist only belts though?  Can't see that being very comfortable sitting back there....

The only Brute that I know of in Alberta is Bear's up in Edmonton. The Brute in those pics is the wrong colour...and WAAAAY to small to be Bear's.

Nice rig though!
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

In transit permit. They could have just picked it up out of the states. Possibly watch for an intro soon?

yeah I thought it was pretty cool, I mean the tires are getting a bit bald, but otherwise... It's different, it caught me off guard when I turned the corner.

Does anyone have any links to Bears Brute you were referring to?

I have second hand knowledge that the border will turn you around if you bring a vehicle across the border with a modified suspension.  They will say you can not get the paperwork to get the fed inspection unless it is reverted back to stock.  It is okay if you have a stock suspension with aftermarket parts with you, just be prepared to pay duty on the uninstalled parts.

I have heard that it depends on which crossing you pass through. 

I have imported 2 vehicles from the states.  There is no benefit to playing games with those cowboys.  (I had my bank accounts searched due to the price I presented as a purchase price for a corvette a few years back).

agreed. i have brought in two a well, but..
its a crapshoo,t and i think those stockish tires on this one doesn't really make this jeep standout and more importantly look lifted. My Dodge rolled through on 35's with no lift but they CSI'ed it in their garage but never even looked to see if the truck was modified. They looked for guns and drugs.
i would never chance it myself, but the one above might have ailed through???
