Not to sound picky..... Cool shots of the modifications no doubt! But, where's an overall shot? Does it have the bed still on it? Just curious..... here's mine:

I can't take any credit for it's build to this point - I traded my full-body rig for it to a friend that needed 4 seater/cargo capability. I have a few plans for it, but the previous owner/builder Led did such a good job - kinda hard to mess with perfection!

Yup. When Led first built it, he painted it flat white and it had an American flag themed grille. He painted it green/black last year I believe...... And I'll be painting it again - just haven't decided what color or scheme...... :dunno:

Knowing Led, prolly pink and yellow.......

Um, no. Led did that with his original XJ "Short Bus". Don't wanna be a copy-cat.

And..... it'd look like a McDonald's promotional vehicle in those colors.....

More than likely, it'll just be yellow and black. :dunno:
