Sorry fellas ain't been on for a while. On the way to work the other morning and saw this. It was about the same size as an Sj I would say. Couldn't get any better pics as I was holding the traffic up as it was lol.

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, some of the IBEX vehicles are quite severely modified. Pretty sure they're all 'technically' monocoque (they weld a shell to the chassis). They can shorten or lengthen the chassis, they do 6x6 modifications.
I've seen an IBEX 6x6 Fire/Search and Rescue type vehicle at a local All Terrain show once (everything from combine harvesters to rally cross racers. It was massive.
Imagine a Defender 130. Put another axle behind the rear one. Then add about two feet more overhang beyond that. I'd guess at 33 inch tyres. Behind the four door cab was a big boxed section with your classic Fire Engine roller shutters on all three sides. Even had a ladder on top. Not sure if it was just a show piece or if it actually had a job it was supposed to be doing out in Wales or something.

I would be more than willing to drive that beast around. Thank you for taking the pictures and the time to share them with us here. It would appear that someone took great care of that monster, and I would be willing to bet that they also put a fair amount of money into it, as well. I love the color of it. It is a very clean color and paint job. I have to wonder what the inside looks like with such a large area in the back. Maybe they have a portable bar or something awesome like that.
