Calling all off-road enthusiasts and adventure seekers! The iconic Force Gurkha, renowned for its rugged capabilities and go-anywhere spirit, might soon become more accessible. Recent industry whispers suggest the arrival of a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant, promising an exciting new chapter for this legendary SUV. Force Gurkha Goes 4X2 Gurkha: A Sign of Expanding Horizons The Force Gurkha has carved a niche for itself in the Indian automotive landscape. Primarily offered in a single, fully loaded variant with a 4WD drivetrain, the Gurkha has earned a reputation for conquering challenging terrains. However, a recent RTO document has sparked speculation about the introduction of a 4X2 variant. This potential addition could significantly broaden the Gurkha's appeal by making it a more budget-friendly option for off-road enthusiasts. Features: Familiar Functionality While official details remain scarce, industry experts predict minimal changes to the overall feature set of the RWD Gurkha. The current iteration of the Gurkha boasts a comprehensive list of features designed for both comfort and off-road prowess. Here's what you can expect to find in the potential RWD variant: 9-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment System: Stay entertained and connected on the go with a user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay: Seamlessly integrate your smartphone for hands-free calling, music streaming, and navigation. Manual Climate Control: Maintain a comfortable cabin temperature regardless of the exterior conditions. Dual Front Airbags: Prioritizing safety, the Gurkha comes equipped with dual front airbags. Rear Parking Sensors: Maneuvering tight spaces becomes a breeze with the assistance of rear parking sensors. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Ensure optimal tire pressure for safety and fuel efficiency with the TPMS. Powertrain: Proven Performance The 4X2 Gurkha is likely to retain the same 2.6-liter diesel engine found in the current 4WD version. This tried-and-tested engine churns out a respectable 140 PS of power and 320 Nm of torque, providing ample grunt for tackling off-road adventures. The engine will likely be paired with the same 5-speed manual transmission, offering a familiar and reliable driving experience. Price Advantage: A Budget-Friendly Off-Roader The most significant advantage of the 4X2 variant is likely to be its price tag. The mere shift from a 4WD to an RWD drivetrain can result in a substantial cost reduction. For reference, the Mahindra Thar, a direct competitor to the Gurkha, boasts a price difference of over Rs 3.5 lakh between its 4WD and RWD variants. While the exact price difference for the Gurkha remains unknown, experts predict a starting price under Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom). This would make the Gurkha significantly more accessible to a wider range of off-road enthusiasts. The Road Ahead: Speculations and Possibilities At the time of writing, Force Motors hasn't officially confirmed the development or launch date of the 4X2 Gurkha. However, the emergence of the RTO document and industry buzz suggests that an official announcement might be imminent, possibly sometime later this year. The potential arrival of the 4X2 Gurkha presents exciting possibilities for the off-roading community in India. A more affordable entry point could open the door for a new generation of adventurers to explore uncharted territories and embrace the thrill of off-road driving. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What are the key differences between the existing Force Gurkha and the potential 4X2 variant? A: The primary difference lies in the drivetrain. The current Gurkha is a 4WD vehicle, while the potential 4X2 variant will offer rear-wheel drive only. This change might also lead to a more affordable price tag. Q: Will the 4X2 Gurkha have the same features as the 4WD version? A: While official confirmation is pending, industry experts believe the 4X2 Gurkha will retain most, if not all, of the features offered in the current 4WD variant.

At around 5:40 p.m. on August 7, 2002 a guerrilla live performance by “Nini Radio” was held on a pedestrian road in front of the Messe Sanoh game store (now Trader) on Chuo-dori in Akihabara Electric Town, Tokyo, with a packed crowd of fans blocking off half of the roadway. According to discussion boards and news outlets, at least 1000 fans of Ukagaka gathered in the streets illegally and screamed “ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━( ﾟ∀)━( 　ﾟ)━(　　)━(ﾟ 　)━(∀ﾟ )━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!!!” and sung along to the opening themesong until a full police car arrived and a small riot broke out, people began to quickly pack up and disperse, the live performance was stopped early at 5:55.

(part 2) of my spiderman!vernon thoughts ft. his friends.

2/3 of BooSeokSoon adopts Vernon as an honorary member of the radio gang since he and Seungkwan come as a package deal at this point

Vernon feels kind of bad just being a member in name so he’s listed as a photographer together with Wonwoo

Unfortunately, his pictures always come out blurry. He’s not exactly fit for this role but they keep it as keepsakes. Seokmin decorates their prompt board with the pictures.

The only pictures he takes that are of decent quality are those that feature Dokyeom the pigeon

He got his first suit upgrade indirectly through Seokmin. The latter being part of the theatre org.

They kind of plan their halloween outfits in advance and that set off the lightbulb in his brain. Vernon’s known as kind of a nerd, so claiming a superhero costume wasn’t unexpected. (Cheol helped him with the electrical parts; Joshua and Jihoon helped with assembling the cool parts bc of their cosplay experience)

Sobs bc BSS ft. Vernon and Wonu halloween cosplays

Vernon made 2 costumes btw! He dressed up as a jaeger pilot for halloween.

They can’t hang out at the radio booth all the time so their 2nd hang out base are the dorms (and eventually the apartment)

That’s how they meet Lee Chan, Seungkwan’s dorm mate. He’s the unfortunate victim to his midnight theories of who and what Spiderman is.

He’s very observant though. Most likely the first one to put two and two together and uncovers Vernon secret to being the masked spider slinger.
