Is this worth the investment? Linked 1st Gen truck with Beadlocks

Ive been wanting to build a rock crawler for awhile but havent wanted to sacrifice my daily driver quite yet. I ran across this today and wanted to know if you all thought it is worth the investment. Supposedly all it needs is the shock hoops welded in the rear for the air springs (that come with it). Truck has stock steering, stock gearing (welded in rear), and does come with all the front lights.

The asking price is $2600

Thank You for your opinions

as long as the welding was done properly on the links.. it is well worth it.

The humvee tires aren't the greatest however..
