Either way you'll love it!!!!! What kind of build you thinking? Mud with big lift or along the lines of what I did?? I can use mine for utility & mud.. However if your talking stretching a-arms & gear reduction for all out mud bike, my vote is work horse...

Looks decent.
The only right answer to a "this or that" is "both"
Keep this one stockish, and then get another one to build.
I'm going to do a stockish one for my kid, with disc brakes, 424, 350D rear axle, and an 18% GR with 27 TSL blems on it
Then I'm going to do a built one for me with a bigger GR and bigger tires.
And another one just like my kids just because I have a third 2nd gen bike.

Jeep.... Don't forget... I still have my 2000 300...lol , but.... I'd love to have a herd of Hondas ! Ya! I'll keep her stockish. At the moment ..... I don't have a choice.
There's twist to this deal, i got the bike from Dave.. His sons wanting to sell this old bell south heavy rear spring single rear wheel 3/4, if i can get $3400 .... I'll everything above $3200, and i think i have it sold! $200 would be a nice finders fee! Now! If it had a four speed man, and dump bed, I'd probobly jump on it. But.... I've got too many forks on my plate for now, besides.. That $200 would be just enough to get the fire breathing dragon water leek repaired .... I have that repair scheduled for this coming Friday.

This gets even stranger, in a good way..... My step father (super nice fella) is now wanting that flat bed truck.... For $3000, and Kyle (out of the blue) dropped it to 3000. The kicker..... Robert (step) told me if i could talk Kyle down to $3000, he'd give me a four door 3/4 ford sfa 4x4 5 speed man ..... Strange..... Happenings here lately .....lol here's a pic of the rocket.....this un is fun to drive!

Thanks! All this caught me off guard... It all started over that 300 aka good luck charm ? And i don't believe in luck...I'm thinking ....maybe i should try and talk him into swopping the ford for that 2wd 5.7 hemi mega cab dodge ..? If there's anything bad about this... It's i loose the $200 finders fee IF i can't sell that flat. bed for $3400 hm .... Gain a FREE truck.,OR $200 ...i believe ill settle for for selling for selling at $3000 and take that free four door ford, man...people can be strange! Oh! Did i mention the 801 ford tractor.... Lol, Dave's selling it too.... I don't have many details on it except we broke it in half to replace a leeking freeze plug , the oem clutch looked perfect, tires look good , (arm strong steering) we added two way hydraulic outlets , she runs great. and kept in dry storage, most us of know about those old school ford tractors (collectors items) my father would be interested in this one for around $2000-$3000 plus, he's already got a ford 4000 diesel , with a (rare) 19-209 side mount front end loader. This pics not our setup, but that's the loader.

Update.... This pic is an old one.... Kyle told me at that time he was thinking of selling his 300 it's the one on the left .... And getting a limited edition kawasaki brute force 750, he did the deal, and i talked to him about that flat bed chevy, and he tossed this bit in (i should have listened to you, when you told me I'd soon want my 300 back) he then told me the guy he sold it to completely trashed it! So..... Now he's wanting another 300 fwd, i foresee him asking to purchase one of mine (nope) not going to happen! I haven't closed the deal on the truck just yet.

Haven't had all that much time to mess with project x (i haven't named this one yet) i started to do i tad bit of modding to the stumpers (foot rest) over to the left two bad azz oregon chains 66 drive teeth one is a full skip chisel square tooth round ground same as the custom stilh chain i had made, and the other is a Oregon power cut 72lgx066, but .... I needed to haul in more firewood.... I talked to Robert this am.... So far he's all good with the price one that flatbed... Ugh ... I just haven't had the time to do the deal just yet.
Three birds with one stone.....
