My builder gets called to go down to somewhere in Cali to fix the expensive sand buggies, and has been bugging me to build one.

Oh ... and just looked up the Beck Pig again, and WOW .... I think you will agree, mine is considerably better and more detailed in every way, and I would not be asking anywhere near $299K . Mine will likely end up on Bring a Trailer, after it goes to SEMA late this year. (if it's done on time)

I kind of wonder if body flex is what cracks the gas tanks.
Until they redesigned the mounting...
I am hoping to go to SEMA this year as well.
I have never been.
As for being outspoken, you know what color you need to paint it once that sunroof is in, right?
RIGHT?!?

Hi Bob, no it's 3D printed plastic that we are using as a mock up. The nest step will be to have the entire thing machined out of billet aluminum and then anodized. Jlawson, not too certain yet what areas will be left aluminum and what areas will be anodized, or what colour we will anodize, but likely the outside trim and the LandCruiser logo area will be left aluminum.
