After seeing it with all the metal work the same color I actually like it the way it is. Just cut the side of the cab a little smoother.

In the plans are to make the cab cage extend to the frame. That is, if I keep the Ford body (or find a new one). I'll have to wait and see.

Cutting down AR60s is stupid simple. Having the right tools just makes it easier!

Definitely. Make sure it can handle a rollover or two, but only two.

Guys, I have an idea. Being that this rig is so well known and loved, I thought I would run it by everyone before I do it.

Some may remember my JeepSpeed 447 Cherokee with the Twin I beam front suspension setup...... Maybe you see where this is going. Now that I have the right tools and resources, I can get the setup just right to perform flawlessly. I miss that JeepSpeed Cherokee and always have thought about building one again. Since Oleminer did just a fantastic job capturing the racing feel with the chassis, I feel like the front suspension would compliment the chassis.

I need your vote!

Slowly but surely I'm getting the suspension right. Just going to see what setup (4x4 or PreRunner) will best fit the chassis.
