Nope, I didn't even know they built them...
Mine used to get 32 mpg till the check engine light came on for it's tune up...now 24 is the max...I just love the shit outa mine...I treat it like a full size truck with the loads I pull behind it...I have been kinda looking for another one to build like yours but they arent readily available here, well not rusted to the ground anyway ;D...I got people stopping by prolly 15 times a year leaving notes on it wanting to buy it...15 years old with only 90k miles and rust free...In minnesota that is a feat...salt on the roads,and slush gets everywhere

 ;D
That would be nice wouln't it...
The deisel deals sounds great since I like fried food...I know a few guys running on used french fry juice ;)
But up here in the great FROZEN  tundra...They have to idle all winter or be kept in a heated garage...
Your buggy should be stoopid fast with a V-8...I'm really looking foreward to your build
BTW what brand are those tires...I've never seen them over here

The diff in my tracker has howled since the day I bought it...I do dogh-nuts every chance I get and haven't blown it up yet...But that would be a feat with the whopping 98 ponies I got under the hood/bonnett ;D
Just cuz I said bonnett doesn't mean I'm gonna start driving on the wrong side of the road...or is that the side walk...Sorry... if you don't like my driving...STAY THE HELL OFF THE SIDEWALK ;D

 Gotta love the 'rover air pumps for on-board air systems...just picked one up at pick-a-part for $20!! Everybody else wants at least $100 :o

 We are just finishing up a TBI conversion on my bro-in-law's CJ-7.... used a 4.3L Chevy for a donor. What a sweet set-up!! We built the whole thing for around $500 bucks and it runs like a top. :)

 Where did those tires come from!?! They are BAD A$$!!!

 Cool build, I'm kinda doin' the same with a 46 CJ2a (trying to bring it back from the dead!!)

 ok so whats a " pick a part" is it a scrap yard ( junk yard or wrecking yard )  are you still able to go in and remove the bits you want yourself ?
the scrap yards over here dont like you taking stuff off yourself anymore in case you stub your toe or cut your finger somehow

They are mostly that way here too...
Or they charge you a couple of bux to go and look for your parts...At least that's how they are in MN..

 Maybe somebody can help me shrink it down some? Yes, pick-a-part lets us take what we want... pay $2 to get in and away you go! Wed and sat here are 1/2 off! Gotta love that!
