[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 720922, member: 3432"] I'm sure a few know / have seen what I currently wheel...most are jealous of my hood so I know most should know. ;) I don't do work / repair like this. I don't mind maintaining and fixing random things that break but large/heavy stuff I don't like to F-with...or engines...or transmissions....or wiring harness's. Tires / axles / trans case / transmission / engine /steering are all perfectly fine for what I like to do, so I have the main stuff. Hell, even the link bars if I can salvage them. The main reason for a potential swap over would be: More comfortable(maybe?) More visibility Lighter Easier to work on if needed Coilovers/churched up air shocks Better up travel More valuable in long run Things i'd like/want: Swingable / opening doors Storage for large tool box Storage for a 2 person cooler Easily removable skins to not look like a spaghetti bowl if needed Just a trail rig. Still be riding same trails at Windrock. Things i'd need to pay for: Chassis.... 3+ grand? 4 fancy coilovers / air shocks....1.5+ grand? Labor by reputable person / shop.... Billionteen+? Time frame? ???????? Misc......1+ grand? Hope this is TECHY enough. I may've left out the torque specs on the toggle switch retaining rings i'd be using but i'm open to suggestions on most things and have thick enough skin to not cry over another persons opinion. No rush whatsoever. Just thinking outloud.... [/QUOTE]
