A transforming top drive vehicle having a passenger compartment and a separable base is disclosed. One or more hydraulic cylinders are positioned between the compartment and the base to provide force sufficient to raise the compartment. Concentric pipes having sufficient strength to support the compartment are installed with one end connected to the vehicle's base and the other connected to the passenger compartment. The vehicle allows ease of access and the ability to lower the vehicle's center of gravity when navigating rough or uneven terrain and, when the operator is interested in obtaining a better view of wildlife or otherwise increase the field of vision, the passenger compartment can be raised either incrementally or to its fully raised position.
