I have the show on "record series" and absolutely love it. I can't wait to head down south into the USA for some wheeling. I think they did a great job on the format of the show, its just different from the Power Block show on Saturday mornings. Or the Truck U, Chop Cut Restore, Classics etc that Shaw has.
I totalled my Jeep YJ a year and a half ago up in Mclean Creek. I don't really know what happened to it because I was in the hospital and my dad took care of it. Then the '99 XJ I had , I had to sell. I do love jeeps (prefer the CJ's, YJ's & TJ's) but for now, since I am bussing it I need to look at functional vehicles that can serve a dual purpose such as getting me from A to B and a vehicle that can make me some cash on the side. I am currently looking at buying a Early to Mid 90's Chevrolet Truck 1500 or 2500, ext cab, 4x4.
I have seen a few rig builds where people have chopped the cargo area off the back of a XJ, I was thinking I could do that for a Suburban or Tahoe, if anyone has any websites or pictures of that could you please post them or email them to me. I have had this idea for awhile, and need to get an idea of where I want to go with this wheeling project.

If you look at an avalanche, its just a suburban without the back windows. If you're planning to try this, you're going to need access to a mig/tig welder, metal break, pipe bender, and lots of time. If you're looking for the same basic idea. put a extended/crew cab onto a shorter frame, then section or just trim the front off a box to fit whats left for frame.
Or go find a ZJ/XJ and buy a little utility trailer for the times when you need to haul anything bigger.
