Wide Open Design LJ buggy build

Or on the tailgate, if he runs one. On the cell/cooler mount if not.

Just curious, what made you decide to do the LJ chassis vs a "tube buggy" with Jeep skins? I know this chassis is just a buggy with a tub sandwiched in the tubing, but I assume there is some design tradeoffs by working around the tub?

Main thing was wanting the extra room. I'm 6'4" and 250ish or so. Pretty big guy. Going with a TJ/LJ gives me around 8" more width vs most buggies. Also, I can easily run half doors, various tops and such to keep the elements out.
But for me another reason is low slung, big tire TJ/LJ just look cool IMO.
I casually spoke with PJ, Cutler and PCR about a buggy. But ultimately after riding in and with some, I prefer a Jeep based rig.
