    I wanna do this when I find a wrecked truck. If you do it a write-up of any major problems would be sweet.

    lol in theory it would be really easy. find a truck just like yours thats wrecked, swap over the body panels that need replaced, interior..etc...

    I want to get my hands on a cheap rab 4x4 and chop it up, make it good for crawlin, throw some SD axles under it, cages, 1/2 doors, coilovers, cut fenders to run 40s yet not be jacked sky high so it will be a good crawler.

    something else that would be cool is make it where it could be AWD or be able to run 4hi all the time, lower it a tad, coilovers, huge sway bars and make it handle like a track car. that would be sweet!
