There is a reason they call them Iron Pigs! This piggy went on a serious diet today... Already lost im guessing close to 300 lbs. Less glass, roof, inner door panels that felt like they were fabbed out of 12 ga. sheet metal ::)

Why not take off the doors and build some like the ones make for the jeeps. And while your at it maybe bob the tail but not like cut it off completely just cut the bottom side off at a 40 degree angle up to give you more departure angle.

OK! So who are you talkin to? Or do great minds really think alike... ;) Ive been looking at the door repairs and they were done very poorly I was thinking about making tube doors for all four corners and making it so the original skin Dzus fasten to them? Same with the rear Ramp(door)... Id loose some serious tonnage there. |

I was given a front 10 bolt out of a C20 burb today... Does anyone know off the top of their head if an 8 bolt GM brake rotor will swap with a 6 bolt? Seems like it should to me? Oh, it will go on the Piggy. Wrong side drop for the Jeep. So I guess I thought about the rig today!
