haha yea yea yea trust me I wouldnt be this far if I wasnt going to do it. I'm currently cutting the rear floors out and moving all of the wiring harnesses from the rear hatch to the front of the truck. Decided to cut the brake lines in the rear because they were so damn rusty and they are attached to the rear floor. The ABS was already cut so that made it easy.. I need to go buy more cut off discs already

I really wanted to do one like that retaining the rest of the truck as a bed but without the truck being a 2-door I would need to weld guts of like 3 trucks together.. I looked at a couple others..


This truck may evolve into a 100" defender or series truggy eventually. Once I roll it once or twice hahaha
