Got a new 55 to wheel!

[dtrain]

kewl! Can you take pics of how the rear window stuff was reinstalled after the chop? I like it...

Maybe I should clarify... The tailgate is the only piece left after the chot... not enclosure behind the back seat (I think thats what you are describing above)

I am only going to gut the tailgate (to make it lighter) and sell the interanal parts the tailgate... sorry for the confusion.

55

This is one of my favorite wheeling shots. I shot this at the very first "Running of the Pigs" event at the Rubicon trail like four years ago.

Again, Luke Porter in action...

SICK SHOT! Soup Can right? (at least that is what my buddies call it)

Are those stock axles? or Full-widths?

I have been thinking to do the same exact thing with the roof... cut it off... full cage and then a custom bikni top... wanted to try and incorporate a fold-down from winsheil as well... but - just thoughts at this point.

I think Luke had modified axles.

Having a stock 55 fold down windshield would be super hard. There is that curve to deal with. Shields on the 40 are straight etc...

Yeah that's what I meant. I'd kinda like to chop my Pig but this is winter-land up here, so I'd want to enclose the cab. I'd like to reuse the rear window for that...

That would be a sweet project!
