I hope its similar to the Short Bus bumper. If so, put me down for one as soon as they are available. Man, this thread just keeps getting better and better!

Hopefully 12K winch compatible, integral recovery hooks and high clearance/low overhang...just my personal wish list

Warn powerplant compatable minimum! 
Yes, but with what motor
It might stay green for now. Cost and time is not on our side for a full paintjob.
On the motor, probably right, need to get the 4.5 and turbo it, rather than the 1HZZZzzzzzzzzzz
As for the paint job, surely shouldnt take long, a good roller for the main panels, and a 4" brush for the fine details and pinstripes?

$'s for a swap? We are keeping track (read Scary) but we will know what it takes when we are done.

You might not get all of them. The 12k kills the deal. I am looking at the Warn powerplant thought. I might have a very rough prototype on the truck for Moab. We are doing Ultimate Adventure in June and Warn is a big sponsor, so I am hoping to get my hands on the Powerplant to incorporate it in the design.

I do have a turbo for the 2uzfe in stock, but when I suggested that Joe install it before Moab, he threw me out of the shop.
Ah, but you forgot the 55 gallon drum of bondo I need as well.As for the paint job, surely shouldnt take long, a good roller for the main panels, and a 4" brush for the fine details and pinstripes?
Honestly this trucks body will be a little rough. Next one we will make pretty.
The meaning of "Scary" do depend on who the UZJ 100 driver is.
- scary of draining his kid's future college account.
- scary of living in a smaller house with one car garage.
- scary of seeing his wife's sharp nails.
- scary of _______________________.
Cheers,
Christo...as you probably know the 9.5XP does a commendable job on a loaded 100 in all but the most difficult pulls (I have used mine a couple of times just to get a "nudge"...and no big deal even on the outer layer of rope).
I am curious how the 100 will do with the air blockage (or what appears to be a significant reduction in the air flow to the radiator/A/C) the Powerplant presents.
OBTW: Kudos to you and your crew for pushing the hundy envelope state-side

This is a very exciting build! Christo, in your opinion, what is the minimum amount of lift (in inches) needed for an SAS 100 using the same axle you've chosen.

I don' think the powerplant will be an issue. With the 100, the winch sits between the frame rails. However we will see when we get the dimensions.
Hoser, we are running our six inch springs in the front and 7.5" in the rear. It all depends on how much travel you want. We have about 5" up in the front. Amazingly the diff is not the clearance problem, but the axle tubes on the frame as well as all the panhard mounts etc.
All that said, we expect it to drive really well since the panhard and draglink has very little angle at ride height due to the use of the hi-steer arms.
