Advice - SPL VEHICLE

Hey guys

Just asking around trying to get some feedback.

What would be the the advantages and drawbacks of working with the following vehicle for SPL purposes. Offcourse the rollcage and most of the extra braces would be removed. But in all should be an excellent structure to start on.

But is this a good vehicle to start an extreme project.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

For an extreme vechicle i would say no. Those door jams are way too big, and hardly any room for a box with amps and batts. Find a vechicle with small front doors and lots of room in the back if you want to do extreme.

thought about that as well but was hoping the extra fabrication would have compensated for something.

Especially since technology has taken a turn where you dont need much equipment again to make some decent numbers.

System does not have to be that extreme in nature since generally install and creating the environment is supposed to be the most important factor.

To create the enviroment, you need a good vehical. But if you do use that car the wlv 1 would be the best choice.

I have taken your comments in mind and it looks like i'll be looking for other alternatives.

Does anyone have or know anyone with a spl vehicle for sale?

Not looking for something fully built, something that I can further develop etc.

Basically a good platform to work with.

Other than that, I take it Rip Rock is the guy I should be speaking with. I tried sending you back a pm but your inbox is full. Let me know how I can reach you otherwise.....maybe an email contact?

Thanks for your comments guys

Very much appreciated
