And now for something totally different - need guys with custom truck/diesel build skills

Is there a reason you are thinking diesel other than being more representative of the original?

In an off road environment I think I would be looking for a gas engine. Lighter weight is my biggest reasoning. Diesels are great but hauling heavy loads is where they shine and that comes with it's own weight penalty.

A number of other units use the dagors.

If it was me i would go jeep chassis. Its allready boxed and tons of aftermarket. Pair that with a 4bte cummins and fab the shell

Something with rotors.

The downsides to buying one is they are :
hard to get in and out of, especially quickly
nowhere near comfortable (they all get hot inside)
a used one has likely already been flogged
not conducive to many chassis changes as they are purpose built and the chassis is the frame/structural integrity of the car

I know. But 600hp and a 4speed tcase!

I'm a design engineer and a YouTube certified mechanic. If you want someone to make a mess, strut around like they know what's happening, and bang on shit with a deadblow until it works count me in!

On the specs for the DAGOR that are actually disclosed, it lists the engine as a turbo diesel.

Also, from a 8500 curb weight and a 4000 payload capacity, I'm thinking diesel is where its at.
