dream rig?
If you had all the money you needed and the time to do so, what would you build for your ULTIMATE 4x4 rig?
I would put a 67 Mustang convertible body, candy apple red, on a bronco frame. 40 inch tires. that would be sweet

i wouldn't have just one. I would have several, couple of mud trucks, trail rigs, raock crawlers, sand sccoters! Just not enough time/money! If I had the money I would finish my Bronco cause that is a very capable 4x4 from the factory!

Well, my dream 4x4 would have to be an M1-A1 tank. Killer off road capability, supreme jeep crushing goodness, and the ability to blow the yuppies in their H2s who are broke down clean off the trail.
