I saw this Perodua Kembara (Daihatsu Terios) several times on the Tamparuli-Ranau road and it was a surprise that I meet this car here. I don't know how far is the modification on this DVVT Kembara but it looks cool (after some modification). Kembara with Suzuki Jimny and Toyota Hilux LN106.

This is a new kind of Ram. Inspired by Baja-style desert racing, this 4x4 is unlike any other in captivity. The rigors of off-road racing require large tires, plenty of ground clearance, extreme durability and a sophisticated suspension system capable of withstanding tremendous impact. These features are combined into a package that is stable at speed and rock-solid in the corners. To achieve this kind of handling, a low center of gravity and long wheel travel are paramount.
The Mopar Ram Runner has the look and feel of thoroughbred desert racer. Inspired by trophy trucks, steel front fenders and rear bed-sides are replaced with fiberglass, allowing tremendous suspension articulation with zero interference.
Vehicle information:
*Prototype of full suspension that Mopar will offer later this year
*35-inch x 12.5-inch x 17-inch DOT-approved General Grabber Competition tires
*Three-inch diameter internal bypass Fox shocks provide front and rear motion control
*6061 T6, billet aluminum upper A-arms contain rebuild-able, high-angle ball joints that permit a massive 14 inches of wheel travel
*High-angle CV joints are combined with plunging, splined axles made of 300 M tool steel and 1.00-inch diameter high-angle tie rods
*4130 chromed moly steel lower control arms
*Variable-rate coils support bed loads while special control arms provide 14 inches of wheel travel
*Custom tubular Baja bumper and aluminum skid plate combination that housed four high-powered, LED off-road lights
*A six-point roll cage finalizes the package while a special tubular tire carrier keeps a spare handy in the bed while maximizing load space
Ever since rebuilding Annie the Blue Bike into a proper mountain bike, and realising that the riding position just wasn't good for me anymore, I've been hankering for something that will do the job in more comfort.
This might. I've run big(gish) tyres on my Sequoia before, in the wintertime, with a Schwalbe Ice Spiker on the front and (sometimes) a Marathon Winter on the back. This time I've gone for BIG Continentals, mainly because The Bike Station had some part-used ones for very little money. In place of the full length SKS mudguards I've installed no-frills and very cheap basic items to keep crud away, in theory, from the dérailleur and the headset.
Shamelessly inspired by Brian Sullivan's RANS Dynamik and sertetlen's Genesis Longitude.
Given more wrenching time, I would be minded to reroute the cables away from the downtube. Given more money, for this round of playing has cost less than £20, I'd put black half-SPD, half flat pedals on the bike. The updated Deore XT pedals are nice.
In accordance with The Rules, the tyres, handlebars and saddle match in colour; valve stems are centred over the tyre labels and positioned at 6 o'clock; the cranks are not vertical; and no bidon is shown. Certain other rules pertaining to mirrors, saddle density and handlebar height have been conscientiously ignored.

I really appreciate feedback on my photos, but I don't want graphics in the comments unless it's relevant to my photo. A similar photo by you, for instance.
No group invitation graphics or 'this image was seen in ...' graphics. It's just annoying and clutters up the comments.
