Is there any point in starting another build-up thread?
I'm starting an '89 4Runner transformation. Is there any interest in another build-up thread?
This one will be a little different, as I plan to remove the fiberglass top, and add a solid steel top with "barn" doors on the back. It will also have a roof about 12" higher than stock. I may also be extending the rear body several inches to accomodate more equipment. I also will be building almost every piece of equipment, bumpers, skid plates, aux fuel tank, interior racks, etc. The rest will be an entire vehicle overhaul.
This will be a VERY budget build as well.
I have some other plans to share if there's any interest.

Of course you should keep starting new threads! It starts the fun, with no new posts there would be no fun on the forum! -
1 poster to post about a "mod" and to post to the mail list that the mod has been done but can anyone help with a problem it caused
26 posters to reply use the search feature
14 posters to share similar experiences of performing similar mods and how it could have been done differently
7 to caution about the dangers of performing such mods

Sounds ok to me. I was just thinking it would be cool if everyone did their own vehicle evolution thread in their "check out my ride" section. I tried to provide a history of my truck in my thread. I only wish I had some "before" pictures to compare with the "after" pictures I hope to have soon.
Your project sounds great! Definitely share it with everyone.

Indeed, that would be great project. I've been toying with plans to do something that with my F150, only in fiberglass-over-foam. A real offroad 4wd mini-motorhome - more than an expedition vehicle, less than a regular motorhome. If you were a tad closer I'd lend a hand!
