im thinking of doing a full belly pan, the axles are the only problem that ive seen so far, my wheels dont stick out from the wheel wells at (surprising seeing as it originally had 215 width tires and now has 235's).

as for why.... well i love jeeps, its how i ended up with a brick on 4 wheels, the only thing i dont like is the impact on the environment, hence the reasoning for wanting to do some aeromods (gas prices dont really bother me if that where the case i would just convert it to electric lol) as for the boattail, i plan on making it a little sturdier than pvc, i will be making a full top with the tail integrated in so as to make it one structural "self supporting" piece, it will definately be fiberglass (with plexi windows) and probably have a foam core and a wood frame, i have experience working with fiberglass so this isnt tat huge of a project for me.

and for reference it is 4WD
