You will always be looking at ways to improve...

You are CORRECT on both counts sir!
However, I find that if I DONT have plans for improvement, OR Im totally chasing my tail (so to speak) Im bored and frustrated.
Anyway, The Vortec will go in before ANY chopping happens. Im really hoping that the gear reduction will open a whole new realm of wheeling for me offering more control and thus making the size and weight less of an issue.
Ive been having struggles with this rig in regards to wether or not it is the RIGHT FIT for what I want to be doing trail wise.
Either that, I just armor the PISS out of it and say **** IT...what fold, folds.

Know what I mean

My only concern with the bob, is the gas tank in the rear. Otherwise, that is a really bitchin option. It kinda looks like a 70.
Extending the WB seems like it will be REALLY costly in my estimation.

Actually I would prefeer bob it .. than extend the WB .. thought the standard 60 series WB it's pretty nice ..

Chevy 63" springs, a longer rear DS and a sawsall I thought is all you need.

I had been considering this for a long time that if I ever did roll my rig...
This came out SOOOO sweet.

Just donno where to source the soft top.
I suppose Id have to have it made, or make it myself.
Im quite the knitter....

You know, there is nothing suprising about this comment










Any boat shop should be able to make you a top like that. They do that sort of thing all the time.

I really like that Green/Orange truggy out of Texas somewhere. That is a cool way to chop and extend the wheelbase. I wish I had pictures of it...
