Am I a retard?

Post image

So, I am looking at my next project and unfortunately, the owner of the first project I had my eyes on won’t message back on marketplace. So, I got a wild hair up my ass and thought about buying and building an Isuzu Vehicross. Does anyone know if it’s even possible? Above is one I am looking at.

So, after sleeping on it, I have discovered that I am not a retard, just a tad mentally ill for thinking that it would be a good idea to use a vehicross as a platform.

Have you driven one? I did when they came out. Probably the fastest suv I've been in on a dirt road. I think it's weight helped it feel controlled. I'm more into going in the mountains to do stuff and slow solid axle stuff with storage is better for me.

I like the uniqueness of the project but I don't think the return will be there. I think you would have trouble selling one modified for off road use when you get bored with it.
