What exactly is the ultimate goal in rock crawling as far as the vehicle is concerned? Is it to modify a vehicle we already have? Or is it to find a vehicle alredy half built and modify it to our needs? Greg has mentioned that his goal is to keep his as a daily driver yet remain capable of hard core trails. I would like to build a buggy that is cheap, strong, reliable, very good parts availability, and look half decent. What platform would you start with? and before you answer... read the requirements. This is my entry... a chev blazer. You can get these running for under 700 bucks, just toss in tires and 60's and 200 bucks in tube and your done as far as drivetrain is concerned. What are the drawbacks to Blazers you say? Weight, size. How about cutting off the entire body save the firewall with the wiring and steering column? you would lose a lot of weight and size, yet still have a good platform to tube out.
