    you're taking a vehicle built in 2004 and using only the engine and transmission, downgrading the suspension, changing the wheelbase, eliminating any storage or utility the vehicle may have had, and likely ending up with something so unstreetable that it can no longer be considered an extra vehicle or pass a vehicle safety inspection.

    if thats what you want, great. There are MUCH better platforms to start with.

    There is a fine line in building up a vehicle totake on the extreme terrain and normally that line requires quite a bit of money to have all the things you listed and still be able to perform.

    I do not condone nor discriminate against anyones build in any of my clubs simply dueto the fact that I do not know their financial or logistical reason for building up their vehicle. For instance I have no clue why anyone would own or modify a vehicle from a company prided on crappy quality, doesn't make sense to me but who am I to judge, I have owned crappy cars in the past also for the right price.

    That is the idea that would one drive their rig to the trail. In this club you are only cool with a tow rig and trailer!

    we lie about the quality to keep the riff raff from owning them
