Don't be surprised if Mini Cooper comes out with a Mini truck using Mr. Widman's work as a prototype. They could probably sell every one they could stamp out. I know I would buy one.
I was reminded I haven't done anything with this post, although most of what 've done is drive.
I did add an oil temperature sensor to the transmission, cut the exhaust headers to raise it about 3 inches, added Dynamat Hoodliner to the hood, added a skid plate, added a fuel pressure regulator to drop it to 15 psi, and made a cover for the bed.
