So I've been thinking about a Salvage X build I'd like to do....

2000 or 2001 4X4 light damage salvaged... you can usually pick one up pretty cheap...
I want to gut the inside (carpets and rear seats) and Rhino line the floor pans.
Fab a storage box in place of the rear seats for storage of tools and spare parts.
Relocate the computer to a higher location. (I'm thinking the clove box)
Replace the speakers with marine grade type. (gotta have tunes while you're wheelin...)
Shrockworks complete package. (Front, rear, sliders, full skids, and roof rack)
Warn 9K winch with synthetic winch rope
Solid axel swap.
Air lockers front and rear.
2" body lift 3-3.5" suspension lift
15" aftermarket wheels with **** Cepek Mud Country 35" tires
CB, On board air compressor with auxiliary tanks.

So what do you guys think? I think it would be a pretty sick build that would go just about anywhere I wanted to go...

I would want to paint it yellow with everything under body line being black and yellow interior accents on the dash and doors...

So THIS is what unlimited $$$ is like!?!?!?

;-)

I never said it would be built over night... lol this would definitely be a long project built in stages...

SAS is better.. But one word about the ANY of the Calmini stuff

It is great if you live in a state that does not see snow. Otherwise it will rust up and look like shit by the end of the first winter.

Nice work wrapped in shitty powdercoat.

So what you are saying is that their parts should be requested in bare steel and then primed painted and sealed in the color I prefer
