Pretty much touching everything starting from a bare frame up, looking at using a M1008 CUCV or a K30 for the most part, but I’ve also considered a K5. If I completely boxed the frame, added crossmembers, and put in 4 point cage; would it handle a mostly stock 12v Cummins paired with an NV4500? I don’t do any crawling, mostly just negotiating crappy roads and logging roads, mild off-road stuff. I’m wanting long term survivability, as this would likely be a truck to pass on to the kids. Would be a do all kinda truck, towing on the occasion as well. I’m always hearing about anything less than a one ton frame cracking and twisting up bad even in stock form with mild off-roading.</blockquote>
