For awhile now, I have been considering a ground up 4x4 build and thought you all might enjoy some discussions regarding same ... specifically, I want to pick the brains of; Superbuickguy, STINEY and Loren.
I have not even settled upon a CJ or FJ base, but would like to keep it in the popular models in order to have the largest available selection of aftermarket parts. As for the style, Florida is the flat lowlands so we don't have mountains or snow, no deserts or cross-country Baja racing. What we do have is a lot of swamps and sugar sand that will suck you in like a sinkhole. Therefore, I think we are looking for a mud buggy over a rock-crawler.
I've seen some of those aluminum body tubs and custom mandrel bent frames. Would 42" - 44" tires be too extreme? Please join in with your thoughts, suggestions, recommendations and / or ramblings.
