I'm in the process of building myself a 4 Seat, 4 wheel steer Rock Buggy, so I've been spending a lot of time and $$$ on that. I'm also saving to buy a house or land. I wouldn't expect things to pickup anytime soon but I'm planning to head to MOAB in April so it would be nice to finally use this thing. It will get done some day, or it won't. I've learned so much from taking on this project and I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the build.
.
Removing some of the Wiring is up next, Fixing the Brakes, then building a Receiver Hitch.
.
I'll see if I can get some pictures of the current state this weekend.

Nice layout!

It looks like a pullout table slides under the bed - that's a great use of space. If you need any slides, check out www.cabinetparts.com, and look at the Accuride 9301. They're rated at up to 500 Lbs, and they come in lengths up to 60".

The mascot is definitely you...
