Good deal. I really like the idea of a built/capable "dual sport" rig. It would have to be a Jeep or something mostly tube though, because I couldn't handle trying to keep glass and functioning doors in anything with a full roof/windshield.
I'm planning on gearing the Gremlin to 5.29 and running 37s eventually. Every time I'm in the woods in my Tacoma (wheelin in trails I drive to), I always see rocks and side trails I want to hit. Plus there are some nice dry creekbeds on my land that I'd like to run, and trailering a rig up there is inconvenient.
Dumb story, but I had a set of new 39 reds when I was building the gremlin, decided I wanted 37s, so I traded them to Mo for some Treps and Creeper Locks, ran them one time. Engine blew up, then I traded the Treps to a chicken farmer for a Samurai, sold the sammy, bought a set of wore out Iroks and beadlocks and rim stiffeners from jccarter, sold the beadlocks to tonybolton, welded the rim stiffeners to a set of 17" steelies that were sitting in the garage the whole time and mounted up the bald Iroks.... At the time I was gathering parts for a 1 ton buggy and the plan was to use the Iroks for mock up on it and buy another set of 39 reds for the Gremlin... which I had to begin with. Meanwhile we have our first kid, I sold off all the parts and chassis for the 1 ton buggy, and in the last 6 months we've been slow at work so I haven't been able to justify dropping $1.5-2K on a set of tires that will get used a half dozen times a year...
