    I work for one of those shops that builds those pretty trucks for dealers and then they mark it up 100%.truck was in OFFROAD magazine called the PATRIOT a class 7 open ranger well that truck basically was decomposing from all the desert miles . Now we are building a stock mini with our 375hp 4.0 v6 rocket
    I did desert racing for 9 years with some buddies so now with rock crawling I get my adrenaline a 3-5mph instead of 103-105 mph .
    My crawler is basically a buggy out of a 85 toyota truck but runs on propane has 100:1 crawl ratio fullwidth axles 38 sx and look like a jungle gym of roll bar tubing . As for a shop its in my garage got tubeshark,welder,notcher,plasma cutter,torches ,and a urban gorilla in the middle of everything

    sounds like a great job I only wish my shop can go that far in the future of building custom fabed rigs
