Urban Gorilla body kit

I was looking at my newest issue of 4Wheel & Off-Road and came across this BADASS body kit. Check it out: http://www.4x4bodies.com/ They look F'in sweet but then I looked at the prices and want to tell the company to F themselves. It's cool but not worth that much IMO. One of these days I'll be a millionaire though... (cough!) What do you guys think of it?

Before and after...

seen them before. If you want a hummer get a hummer. IMO the ranger body looks better than that. By the way wouldnt that look much skinnier than a real hummer?

Well I guess you could get an H3 look without buying a chevy.



Only way this is doable is if you have a roll over truck. Otherwise its a waste of a good ranger.

Yes.

Urban gorilla. It was a 84 burb with a 700hp duramax. IIRC

I dunno, looks odd, and i don't think it's worth the $$. What happens if you have to replace just one body panel?

That looks like the biggest waste of time and money. Plus it looks like a retarded hummer. You have a ranger because you like the look and feel of a ranger. Buy a crappy s-10 or something and try it. But not to a ranger.
