As you can see by this extensive parts list, no expense was spared in building this truck. Countless hours of custom fabrication and engineering have gone into this truck to turn it into a solid trail rig that can bedriven down the street comfortably. The truck needs nothing as it sits. Fire it up and head to Moab, the Rubicon, Baja, or the supermarket.
This price reflects the value of the truck itself, plus parts, time to build. You could not replicate at a professional shop for this price.
