Hi there jeep-folk! I happened by and thought I'd drop in. I'm not a jeep owner anymore, but will be again in the future. As for now, I have a few questions.
I have been dealing primarily with VW's in the last few years, and miss the offroading lifestyle. Being military, I cannot have the fleet of project vehicles that I would like, because they don't move well between assignments.
I have decided to embark on a project that will combine my love for volkswagens and for offroading by literally combining the two ideals. I would like to literally use a volkswagen unibody as a cabin, mounted onto a rolling 4x4 chassis (jeep or other).
Has anyone tried such a project, or know anyone who has? I'm looking for any tricks, tips, info, etc that I can get my hands on. Here's the kicker: I want to make something that can be tagged street legal, yet be versatile as a medium-duty offroader.
I'm sure you will all think I am crazy, but I'm looking for any guidance I can find. Thanks!
