thanks Lynn and Funrover, the suspension and the shocks are from HT suspension custom made. I guess the cabin would cost around 20K€, depending on the standard, just ask Marcus from the offroad-schmiede ...

hey again, If you want to leave the mounts in place (wich means the drive train stock) and the radiator in front, the cab has to move foward in relation of the original J4 front axle position. The cab is still much further back as the 80 body as you see looking at the bumper...In order to fit...

I go and find a river about 80-90cm deep with a little current, if the car is very muddy I use a glacier river with some sediment...:sombrero: :D

I would get a HDJ 80, they are very cheap in the UK, just get the gaskets, bearings and the birfields done...and go. You can easily up grade while travelling the US. with a possibilitiy to sleep inside and a roof tent you should be fine and save money you can spend travelling...
