Here’s the engine bay of a particular vehicle. I bet nobody gets it straight away.

Clue: It’s a 4x4 Bakkie

Knowing Neil, he has intense dislike for engine covers :twisted:

But that engine bay seems too tidy for an Amarok (the obvious culprit)

So stumped for now....

It’s actually a JAC 1.9 which is basically the Amaroks engine. So they must have shared the same concerns by not adding an engine cover.

No regular bakkie is a capable off-roader.

Any good write up on these as a capable off roader
It's probably as good as any stock Chinese bakkie, I have done no research on this bakkie, but I bet it as no Diff Lock and no Traction Control, to be honest, its as good as any 4x4 from 20 years ago, pity the game has changed so much.
