Thank you! In hindsight, obviously, this has been like a "ship in a bottle" build. We ended up building a buggy/crawler inside the body of a JK - not an easy task! I'm thinking that next time it will be much cheaper to just build the ultra-4 race car straight away. Still, we now have an amazing chase/recovery vehicle that will be good in the Baja races, KOH, or anywhere in between.

Jen at HigherGround cleaned up the rear tub area and added a separate fuse panel for all the lights and add-ones, such as the fuel pump, fans, winches, air compressors, etc.
