My next rig. Will it Qualify as a Jeep

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

It has a card table and a wet bar. I'm sure that it could also have a BBQ.

The hot tub might take a bit of custom work.

I don't know if I can answer your first question.

They use it at a "hunting ranch" in Texas. This place is a private game reserve...essentially a really, really big zoo where ridiculously wealthy people pay big dollars to hunt captive animals. They use this thing to drive around the ranch with the "hunters" on board. Because it's so high, they can see over the scrub brush, allowing the hunters to feel like they have some part in finding the game.

The thing is that the "guides" are the same guys who set the timers on the feeders for the animals, so they effectively control where the game is and at what time of day. They could get their clients just as close to the animals using one of these.

That's a pretty sweet Big Wheel... just needs a gun rack  :)

I've actually started that project, but every time I try to tack the bar stock onto the back to support it, the seat just seems to melt away, no matter how much tinfoil I put over it. I think that I need to use a TIG welder instead of that big 'ol Lincoln. Anyone want to loan me one?  :P

I have some hose clamps and self-tapping screws you can have.

Thanks Fras!

With those parts, I figure that I can just lop the rear 1/4 of the unibody of that puppy and fill in the holes with bondo and duct tape. That way I'll have something kinda like a pickup bed, and it won't really affect how rigid the vehicle is, right?
