My thoughts exactly, although, I don't know if I would sell the taillights, it never hurt to have an extra set.
Yeah, sometimes my brain is a little richer than my wallet. If I wanted something more practical, I wouldn't be looking at buying a 32 year old truck to drive in the snow.
Maybe I could do a stepside too. Here are some different bed ideas I have.
1. Ranger stepside bed, looks OK and could probably get done the quickest, but not the most attractive.
2. Chevy LUV? bed, looks cool, but finding parts would likely be difficult.
3. Flatbed-personally my favorite in this case, I would probably do something similar. I know the picture isn't of an MJ.
