A lighter vehicle is more appealing to me. In my opinion, Landcruisers are too heavy and also too heavy on the pocket.
I also need back passenger seats, so without the seat delete, I'm carrying a whole lot less.
Great build. I was considering a Gladiator for my next vehicle and would install a canopy of this style if I go ahead.
