The Ultimate SUV - an Amphibious Four Wheel Drive!
Irvine, CA – August 20, 2002 – Looking for the ultimate off road vehicle? It may just be an amphibious SUV, according to earthwheels.com founder Chris Dufault. Mr. Dufault is working with a Chinese company to convert American Jeep Wranglers for onshore and offshore use.
The Amphi4WD combines the rugged off road capability and creature comforts of the Jeep, with a strong corrosion resistant stainless steel hull and propeller drive. The conversion company currently modifies the Beijing Jeep for amphibious use by the Chinese military. The company is now planning to convert the US Jeep for a few lucky adventurers.
The conversion will maintain all of the structural integrity, safety and emissions equipment of the Jeep and will comply with US standards. The conversions will be performed in China on privately owned US vehicles. Including transportation time, the conversion should take six months and cost just short of $20,000 plus the cost of the donor Jeep.
earthwheels.com is a startup recreational product innovator. The proposed product line also includes the FOLD-N-ROLL – the first garage-able, self-contained, solid-walled travel trailer designed for 6-cylinder front-wheel-drive minivans.
