My Baja doesn't excite me any more.

I'm thinking about converting it into a Chenoweth DPV/FAV/LSV/ALSV style rail.

Talk me into or out of this lunacy.

Get both :)

I've only driven a rail once and I thought it was a lot of fun but your Baja looks way cool. I would leave it intact and get a rail.

I had a rail frame buggy long ago, it was great fun.

I did however have lots of trouble with frame breakage under the seats and where the front end attached.

Using it in sand probably would not be an issue fut frame flex/work hardening on harder surfaces definitely was.

I've thought about building a Baja, but I really don't need the project or the money pit either one.

I like the Baja bug. Maybe go full custom long travel

And a v8 swap would be awesome
