I may be jumping the gun with this thread, but I want to. After I am finished with Tom's Willys Wagon, I have decided to build myself a new trail rig. I fell in love with Sebastian's Willys MB a few years ago and have decided to replicate it with a few minor changes. The main changes are; I will build mine as a tube chassis skinned to look like his and I will have a driver's drop front Dana 44 and an NP231 instead of a pass drop and D300.

I will have the same wheelbase, axle width, wheel/tire, and similar drivetrain. Due to under hood room and cost, I will not have a Mopar engine

And this all started because I had a steering box and a fuel tank laying around
