Thumbs up, and hands down, this is the best way to build a crawler if you've got a trailer.  Have you weighed it all geared up?  I'd bet right at 3200.  

The constructive criticism in me says that you should probably mount the seats directly to the cage, and let the floor just be a skin, it looks pretty chopped up.

I have not weighed it, but i bet its somewhere around there. I plan on finishing the cage in a few months. I wanna mount seats and fab up a hood and close the area behind the seats to keep things from falling out of the cab(or whats left of it). It wheels so much better without the body. Center of gravity went ALOT lower. I should of done this 10 years ago
