So I don't have a CUCV yet, and probably won't till late fall :( , but I like to plan things out. I have decided I wanted to get a CUCV pickup. I will list what I want to do to it below, this is of course after I make sure it works and there are no real reoccurring issues, :p

A secured gun transport (since I won't be able to have the guns in the cab with me) I will have to either get a lock box or locked bed shell.
Install ball hitch
Two bucket off-road seats to replace the bench
Roll Cage... not sure if there are kits out there
Lift Kit, not sure how big, but not looking to go huge with this.
Light Bar
Fuzzy Dice

Now FUTURE distant plans... like its something I would like to do, but have no idea how I will do it

Engine Swap w/ Cummins Diesel
Going from Leaf Springs suspension to Coil-Over conversion

So right now I only really care about help with the top mods, since I have already seen a guy do the cummins swap I know it can be done, but I would like to see if anyone has done a coilover kit on these :)

Oh oh also new paint job, probably desert tan the entire thing, or have it professionally painted Metallic Graphite Blue :)

I FORGOT TO ADD... I want to install sound dampening insulation, like Dynamat inside the cab, and put a minor audio system, no bass or anything just some clean stereo, the dynamat is really to keep the outside noise down!!!!

Install ball hitchyou can swap out the pindel hitch for a ball reciver.
Two bucket off-road seats to replace the benchthats easy.
Roll Cage... not sure if there are kits out therepeople use to make kits but its better to have one made. i cant find anyone who sells a kit new.
