Nice build.  Too bad they are extinct.  Hell of a brand to let disappear.

Nice! Does the whole slant-back lift up? Lots of little subtle mods too - like the door handles - that make the whole rig come together.

I would definitely like to do a SFA conversion some day.  I don't think I would ever have the time or resources setup the back end like that though.  All it takes is time and money though right?

Why do you need one?
Nobody goes out with plans on getting stuck.

At least one manufacture is Off Road Evolution.  They call it the EVO Lever system.

It is not the system just the dust from riding the rig super awesomely.  Or it might not be squeaking depending on how you define squeaking.
