Yes, a friend has one and I had the same reaction. Why would there be such a mess of hoses and tubes? It just seems sloppy when there is a premium today on the "finished" looking engine compartment.
I think it is a neat truck, but unless you use it to regularly go off-roading I think the tradeoffs involved in its design will quickly wear thin. The 4Runner may not be as capable, but it is more livable in the majority of normal situations in which people find themselves.
And I could never deal with wheels that big. The ride quality must be dreadful.
