as much as I love that truck, as it is an absolute beast, I still prefer it when sj's look like sj's. if you get me. just my opinion though

I remember that one. But agreeing with Steve on "SJs looking like SJs" is one of the reason I'm gonna repair that tin top shell I've bought.
Horses for courses though. He hasn't built that for a bit of pay and play and laning has he.

That is pretty sweet!
I think I agree with Steve though, I prefer it when they're still recognisable as an SJ. If I ever do get round to building a tubular front end I want to keep the front grill section and the headlights in the same place so that it maintains that SJ look. Still, one awesome truck!
