Been a lurker for a couple years. I'm building a Mountain farm truck specifically for our farm and family cattle business. Our horned cattle and Bulls tear up everything and I have to push them off the paths and off the vehicle with the cattle guard rails. We have to drive over branches and fallen trees often. We have to access steep red clay trails (some off camber) on 200 acres, in all 4 seasons taking family and visitors to see the farm and cattle. Took the sides off and had the Cattle Guard Rails put on and put the hard top back on, and started doing preservation and small improvements . Most of it is original AUS and I'm leaving paint original (from AUS) and wheels etc. Had Aluminum bumper made same as original steel bumper. I was going to build the Rails, doors and cage for the top etc out of steel but hate to paint things and have to touch up etc. A couple pics of it now and a couple pics of it when I bought it last year. 2H engine, Everything I drive on the farm is Diesel. This is off road 95% of the time, but licensed as a farm truck. Thanks for all the info and Ideas I get from this site! It's the best!
