Still in the planning phase and probably several years from even collecting the parts to start it all. Anyone got a 1-ton Longhorn they want to donate to the effort?!!!
Why not start with a longer wheel base 1-ton with dual wheels? A bunch of them were already 1-tons that you would just have to add the 4wd stuff to.

Some day when I have more money than brains that is what I'm gonna do.
