Have fun with this Nightshade, and be sure to keep posting pics. I love watching projects progress, even if I'm not that big into four wheeling.
That is exactly what it is. Kind of a noncomittal way of cutting the rear of the rig without removing sheet metal. I liked it when I first started seeing it on the trails and at events but after seeing it in use for a while it stopped appealing to me at all...cut it off or not at all if thats the route you are thinking IMO.

Yeah, the idea is you retain some semblance of factory bodywork, but you narrow it so that you're less likely to get hung up on trees and rocks and stuff. Whether or not it reduces body damage... well in the long run it probably doesn't make a difference. Basically, some people just like the look of it.

What about on a daily driver rig? I could see that kinda stuff on a (semi)street-legal setup possibly.

This will be a trail only rig and even when I had DD wheeling rigs I have never thought of dovetailing them. I would rather deal with bent panels than that.

Gotcha. At some point I want a truck as a beater. Personally, i think a truck SHOULD have dents.....trucks = work machines (or off-road vehicles)
