Medium I would say. The engine loom is fairly well self contained, immobiliser is not that complicated. ECU Needs a speed input from the transmission via the instruments which you can do with a Dakota sgi-5e and a feed from an ABS ring or elsewhere. Clutch and N sensor. Battery is mounted in the back end so lots of wire. I had to extend quite a bit to re-use the gauges. and I had already used the column switches for lights so just built a bit of circuitry. Bonus is that wiring diagrams are available. Mine was a Mk 2.5 from 03I undid all the unneeded pins from the connector blocks rather than cut wires To StartSpare bitsPackedMade up bit

Getting back to my "Road Rail design", I did some sketches based on a print out of the LWB Vittara chassis, sort of part trophy truck, part sand rail, part bouncer. Unfortunately I suck at design or drawing but I sketched this>Then today on one of my google trawls I found this uncannily similar awesome looking thinghttps://www.wideopendesign.com/evolution-rock-crawler-chassisNow I don't like the Jeep grill just the flat hood but I just love the layout and form - obviously it's not designed to mount on a chassis but that shape of a low-ish slung cockpit between the wheels look great. There is a sketch of the frame somewhere so time to get to CAD, wood sticks and duck tape
Yep I think you are right it is the Samurai Chassis drawing - all I could find. Wheelbase is 10cm different I think. Do you have a LWB Vitara drawing by any chance?
