I know this is not an HDT or MDT, but some people have to start somewhere. This one looks kind of interesting. Has a lot done already. Would be nice for dirtbikes, atv's, etc. Could easily have living quarters installed.
Heck yeah, might be a great place to learn and get some hands on experience doing a conversion. Might turn into a nice little camper. I bet you could sell that lift for a few dollars that would add to your budget.
