I know what you mean I feel the same way about cutting up the body. It's just that I think it would be more enjoyable to not have to slow down to a snails crawl when going over severely washed out roads and ditches. I want to be able to blast thru them with the gas pedal floored without breaking anything or bottoming out.

Where ill eventually end up even the paved roads "if you can call them that" are in horrible condition and you can't go much more than 10 MPH in a regular truck.

I love that green/white truck in the video and I want to build basically the same thing just with a bad ass suspension that is capable of taking a beating. I guess I used the Ford Raptor because it’s the only vehicle that I know of that comes pretty well set up from the factory and everybody can pretty much agree weather you like Fords or not that it’s a very capable truck.
