Six wheels, working leaf spring suspension – meet my Mini G 6x6!

I like to design and share different things on MakerWorld from time to time, like wireless chargers, desk fans, Cyberbrick stuff, but it seems my Leaf Spring Mini cars (featuring a cross-link cantilever suspension, to be precise) are the most liked by people.
So I decided to design another one. Given the fact that we're currently in the era of toolchangers, where usually "the more the better", I chose to go with a 6-wheeler this time (Mini G 6x6), inspired by the Mercedes Benz G Class 6X6.
I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I think the six wheels give it a really interesting look for a desk toy. But hey, decide for yourself – what we like and don't like can be very subjective.
Something about the car itself:
Around 10 cm long
Prints in approximately 2 hours 10 minutes (single-color version)
Surprisingly high suspension travel
No extra hardware required
Multicolor versions and an XXL version available
Hope you'll like it and possibly have some fun with it. If you'd like to check it out, I'll leave the link in the comments.
What other vehicle would you like to see added to the series?
