Bad assumption. It correctly done, aluminum will be as strong. Remember, they build airplanes out of aluminum. Now whether you have the skill and knowledge to design and build something, that is completely unrelated to the material used.

What is this sorcery you are speaking of?! A cab forward HMMWV with a habitat box... Okay, this took a left turn and I am totally digging it!!! Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Biggest concern with steel is weight and rust. If weight is not a concern, it's easier to work with/modify. Aluminum is not hard, just a little trickier. As for rust, epoxy primer and then topcoat with a good paint. You have to get good coverage as thin spots will rust over time. Steel will...

Nice rig. 700R4 swap should make this a much better freeway cruiser.

It wasn't originally, hence the questions about the price.

Sorry I missed the fact the tires you mentioned, were new ones, not what was currently on there. Yeah, sadly the 16.5" wheels are a no go anymore. I think I read there was one size choice available. Totally understandable to move to a different size wheel for tire availability. Still cool. :)

Forum rules require a price. I might have missed it but I don't see it listed.

I know when I had my Cummins, you could buy heavy duty contacts for the Denso starter, which was typically the point of failure. I bought a set but never ended up needing to fix anything.

Awesome Burb! Love the color combo. For all that is holy, please tell me you are keeping those wheels!!!! Those are sweet and remind me of the old "turbine" wheels.

That is awesome!!!! I just signed up to request being a Beta tester. :) Fingers crossed

What brand of headlights are those and how is the pattern and brightness at night?

Ain't that the freakin' truth!!!!

Cool project. Might I add a suggestion. Turn up your wire speed just a little. Welds look like they have a little "undercut" to them, which typically means not enough wire. Will make for stronger welds.

Any updates?

Bummer to see you selling it. GLWS, nice rig

Sounds legit.

Nice! Curious, why the difference in rope types? I would think synthetic would be preferred in both spots.

Might want to look at Diode Dynamics. They have some very great lights and a lot of size options.

Great news! Get it in and move on.

Sorry to hear about the pup. Always hard to lose our travel buddies. Cool idea on the step plate!
