Wow, so this is out now for public viewing :-). GREAT. As you go along, I am sure people would have tons of questions for you to learn from...

You know what, I REALLY wish I could somehow drop my gypsy at your place for few weeks and get it to shape I want. Wish you were somewhere near Bangalore.

I will be asking lots of questions to learn from this build.

To start with:

The axles look different. Which axles are these? and what all specific schanges to steering had to be done? I see that this looks like a cross-over rather than a full hi-steer. Am I right?

PS: Must say that it looks like to be articulating beautifully.

Another one from the master himself. The Gypsy looks good as it is. Rugged. However I am sure now you will make it even better and will be fit soon with you custom signature Light force lampsThe fading color, finish and looks have a very much Jeep element attached to it.

The other one's not yet complete and you are out with another one. Good job man! . If this is what she does in R&D stages, I'm can't even imagine what the finished product will be like.

I guess this time, i can suggest you chop the rear of the body similar to sultans spidey.
and how bout seats like this? you could also do away with the doors.

I have seen this mate

Hey Allan,

Congrats with your new project.

I have seen your Gypsy and touched it aswell in Nagpur last month. Never knew it was for you. I Wish I had taken pics of it. I wanted to take pics but my memory card got full.

But I did manage to take a pic of that white Defender parked next to your Gypsy though.
