It's suspension is beam-axle, which is one of the way's to tell it's based off the M-38 rather than the later M-151 also in Iran's inventory. The Karaba can be distinguished from the old Willys M-38 jeep by its sharper angled body panels, hood and by its distinctive grill. The body and chassis of the Karaba are integral and are of all-welded construction.
