3Pooches version 3.5

Rite. I remember AEV doing one but didn’t see it listed on the site. Couldn’t remember if it was a kit style or all fab work.

 

I fixed an AEV brute several years ago and it was a beast. It had a supercharged hemi, Dana 60’s, pcs steering, 37’s, and looked so much better than the gladiator

 

Cools!

This is what I think Jeep (FCA) was going for... The Land Rover Defender died off and they kinda (FCA, and my thoughts) took the design and rolled it into the Wrangler platform to keep the body style and off road usability going.





Take off a JKU's rear doors and mod the bed.







The similarities are not far off.

 

I want the first one!

 

A little of both. You could buy the kit and DIY. Or you could get one from the dealer all done.

 

You and me both.

 

This ancient design is so over proven, it baffles me as to why Kia or others don’t build a modular vehicle.

 

100% agree. Would be so easy to do. Passing all the US regs to get it here... Yeah, right.

 

The airbag stuff has gotten rules and certifications overly complicated but if you build a cab full of airbags on a modular frame the potential is there. The “full framed” vehicles these days are so flimsy and porous that we have to reinforce them to accept decent suspension. A small hydro formed boxed frame with solid mounting points is doable with current market prices. I don’t want a sound system or pleated leather, I want a sturdy platform that doesn’t have a proprietary electrical system and simplifies modification

 

You and like 50 people.

 

Well Ford sent me my disqualification email for the bronco dr so there at least 251 of us

 

Two of those will be used for their intended purpose.

 

51 or 252

 

But in reality, look at us just in this thread. Your jeep is living outside its means on 35’s and Nick and Mark have cut and welded to their frames to achieve decent suspension travel.

 

I wish car/trucks weren’t built as disposable tools. I know the average joe will buy a vehicle based on the size the touch screen interface not caring that the rest of the vehicle is made of balsa wood, but the same person isn’t the life long customer.

 

Is it? Talk to me my friend. A couple beers in and would like to hear you thoughts.

 

Hahaha! You know me too well

 

See, Now you lost me, dammit. i'm a few beers in. You?

 

I thought you were assume I was a few beers in (I am) and just bantering

 

Oh kay. Soooo what now?
