From
what I can find out the Nichimo Exceed 443 was built in the early
1980's. It was offered in kit form, and was actually quite advanced
for the time. It was 4 wheel drive with 4 wheel steering and 3
differentials. It had bead lock wheels and a mechanical speed
control. When I restored it I replace the mechanical speed control
with an electronic one. Below are some pictures of the restoration.
