    Should I build it

    As some of you know I have a second Rangie with a 350 chev in it, and have been wondering what to do with it.

    I was thinking about a Rangie ute, but the Missus won't let me do that.

    So the plan is one of the following:

    1) A bobbed soft top rangie

    or

    2) A 100" 110 County front extra cab with a 130 defender well back.

    I am leaning towards No 2 due to the extra uses it would have, but now I'm living in Sunny QLD, I can see myself in a bobbed soft top cruising Fraser.

    What do you guys think?

    Here is the Rangie in Question:

    <span style="color:blue">you just answered your question....



    will you be using it for beach work or carting things around.....?


    you already have a hard top.....

    go the fun buggy for where you are.....if its ready in time for summer....

    the missus will also enjoy it too....
    (a happy missus is a good missus....)





    but me personally.....i prefer the fender....
    but then again i dont like the sun too much.....</span>

    8) now i like your thinking about modifying it, but really you arn't looking at the big picture here.
    you now live in queensland.
    so you will need all that roof area to
    keep shade on the esky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
