The whole point behind this build is to still have a semi road worthy vehicle so I dont have to trailer this everywhere. I have been lucky enough to find a few lunatics around here with all of the tools and combination of parts. Yes, in the end, it will only be a Raider shell on top of a modified frame and suspension build up. When gutting out the truck, anything is possible. We have the welding equipment, chop saws, machining equipment and lifts. Everyone locally to me has jumped on the bandwagon of doing this build as I told them from the beginning, anything is possible. The funniest part is that I have Zookie, Jeeps, and Toyota guys all arguing which stuff I should use. THIS is what has been brought to the shop to CHOOSE from:
-ford 5.0
-CHev 305 or 350
-Combination of a few different transmissions that match the Ford or GM blocks
-NP231 t/c
-several different axles, YES.. the front WILL be solid
-several different rim and tire combinations. I would say the largest I would go is 36", but thats just because I want to still drive on the road and creating the fender flares will be interesting.
I will begin taking pics of the build once the guys are done with their current Jeep build and then its my turn.

ON a side note: 4crawlerz website has been unable to process any orders for quite sometime. I have been wanting to order a 2" body lift kit but the store is "not open". The open date keeps getting moved by 2 weeks. Weird??
