has anyone seen a project where a T2 was cut up to create an open air rig? Matt? How about leaving the roof/rollbar over the ft seats but opening the rear? the effect would roughly be of a pickup. If you have a link for such an ugly affair pls post. <img border="0" alt="[Satan]" title="" src="graemlins/satan.gif" /> s <img border="0" alt="[Pig]" title="" src="graemlins/oink.gif" />

I tried to find the thread, but no luck. It's from a post by "Airtrooper". I think it's similar to the pic RobG posted except he has a full cage put in. Personally, I don't like the look of the short bed Trooper, but I do like the topless look. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Yep, that was what I was thinking of. BTW, I don't know anyone who like Larell's (sp) Trooper other than its creator. But the image of Matt's is close. I am though thinking 1) some weather protection (this ain't Moab!), so perhaps roof remains along w/ ft door glass/frame, perhaps along w/ a snap on canvas "cap" to close off behind seats?, and 2) roll protection, which retaining the structural "roll bar" within the roof (behind the ft seats) would provide. I did plan to weld the 2 back doors shut as implied in Matt's image. Matt, why don't you just send me the ft end from your truck and then I can make the beast a quicker reality? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> s
