Awesome :-) Thanks for sharing
Nothing like stealing a 30+ year old design and sticking Jeep badges on it :(
Looks like a Mog to me!
I want a Nukizer 715.

The Willys Cab-over Pickup came about shortly after the Mog, close to 60 years ago...waaay back in the day! That's the look they were going for...Just sayin.:_confusedQuote:

Enjoy.

Man, that is sick. I so would love one of those if they made them. Only thing i don't like is the front door. I would of reenforced the front instead of adding a "Literal" suicide door, and at least made a door open from the rear some how to be different.Quote:
