Drove it out to Garner State Park last weekend to go camping with family. I was nice to have all the extra room. Does have a starting issue though. Pretty sure it has a bad fuel check valve.

Its not always fun having to start over but once you get rolln and get some parts on there you will start feeling better I'm sure. Start with the free mods of taking off the rear sway bar and cutting fenders. If you do the rear quarter panel "cut and fold", make sure you actually fold it rather then cut it off. Haha I now have rocks and mud flying up while trying to strap down tools so they don't fall out. you could make your doors removable also.

I did it an love it. My doors don't close like they should. I just need to fine tune them. Its just frustrating getn in that tight space with those star bits and doin the loosen and tighten game. But my buddies kids always love it without doors. Just dont forget to put sunscreen on the whole left side. Haha
