So after much deliberation the decision is to keep the good old Ford Ranger and use it for the build.   So now I get to start a build thread (The son and I are pretty excited about this) to keep track of the progress.  Would love for people to chime in and provide some ideas.

Step 1: Shocks; Suspension; Tires  Complete

2 Inch Leveling Kit Tires: 275/75/16 Toyo Back Country Mud Terrain – Same tire as the Discovery SST Pro. Shocks: RMX Extreme Monotube

Step 2: Storage

Custom Bed Rack Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack Step 3: Bumpers and Lighting

  Some things I need to figure out are:

1. Additional Fuel: I am liking the rotopak’s but not sure if they are the right fit for my build, also given the fact that my truck only gets about 150 miles on the tank I may need extra capacity.

2. Winch and recovery gear

3. Water storage options.

4. Bed storage options.

5. RTT or Ground Tent

SunkCost

In economics and business decision-making, a sunk cost is a retrospective (past) cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. I guess my miata is a sunk cost if I decide to keep forever, isn't it?
