i had one just like it. tough truck,ran great but burned more oil than gas lol. icouldn't kill it, sold it for $500. the darned thing is still running around lol. i don't think you would go wrong,they have good parts
one suggestion,i made my hoop from left over muffler pipe. seems strong,yet light weight. i have slid into a tree, no damage. looks good, just try to lighten
you should also consider weight. also if offroading approach angle. mine i built is a little to long for the approach, modifying later.you can see it in the tj reader rides
