They use the Jimney's primarily for 4x4 tours, and rental cars near the resort communities. We were advised not to rent a car in Cuba, if you get into an accident...regardless of fault you have to remain in the country until trial. That could be weeks or months.

@Baby Beater Benz: Many of the heavier Yank Tanks are running Isuzu Diesel engines/tansmissions from older Japanese trucks.

@BigEngineSmallCar: I agree, they could easily get Tremec to configure one of their transmissions for mass production...i would gladly pay the extra couple hundred in cost just to know I am getting a good product.
European Truck Racing. I first thought this was a silly fringe motor sport but now have massive respect for the drivers of this sport. I was listening to a podcast that had one of the drivers as a guest, and he was saying that this type of racing scares the bejezus out of regular race drivers. The high center of…
