Chopped Excursion

[RockMonkey]

I followed this thing for a minute this afternoon. I couldn't really tell much about the execution from where I was, but I've never seen anything quite like it. Rollover salvage, maybe?

I saw it a couple weeks ago on 45th and main. It is actually pretty damn cool I thought. They left the windshield and the doors. The pillars come up about 6-8 inches, not sure if their was still glass in them or not. The cage looked good. The guy driving appeared to think it was pretty cool also

I would love to see more/better pics! That would be a cool idea if you had a salvage rig. Did it have the diesel?
I hear a lot about people wanting to see more "full-size" rigs on the trail, but that thing might be a little "too-full-size"!

It was a diesel.

I probably could have, and gotten some nice shots of the underside. Priuses (Prii?) are tall compared the Civic I drive.

Note the dealer plate. Ones that started with 4 use to be wrecking yards. I don't know if thats still true today.

Thats pretty cool. More pics would be cool if anyone happens to run across this again

I got to see it the other day at regional supply while they were building a windshield for it. It has front and rear arbs and a compressor also the fab work is really good. The story is that the guy bought it for 7k after it rolled and built it for going to moab with the grand kids. It's all leather interior also.

Yes, it is a pretty new Ex with a 6.0 diesel. I think less than 10k on the clock. Matt did the cage at home before they lifted it. Cage is tied to the frame.

Nope, ours start with a 4, and we are not a wrecking yard

I saw this in Jack-it's parking lot the other day. It looked like they had built it?

Hopefully it's bolted and not welded to the frame. On my bros 05 6.0 they removed the whole cab to do a head gasket.
