I know it's probably a pipe dream, but I can dream, can't I? I really like this concept of a more compact vehicle and the removable panels, it looks a bit like my wife's FJ on steroids and with a convertible option.

It's nearly impossible to get good sight lines out of an H3 which is a no-no for an offroading vehicle. I suppose on this concept, some of the issue is taken care of because of the removable doors, but I bet the sight lines over the hood and out the back corners are pretty poor.
A lot of people wheeling the FJ tend to have similar problems and end up smashing the bumper corner wings. According to some articles, the HX is equipped with trail cameras
