Re-loaded "Our 4x4s" from the old website: Cousin WIllard

Cousin Willard started life at ORD as a battered old parts-getter.  But what seemed at first like maybe a downright silly idea - to build the long-bed crew cab into a capable trail rig -  has turned Willard into livin' proof that, with the right buildup stuff, even Gigantosaurs can 'wheel right along with the best of 'em. 

Cousin Willard wore a bright orange coat of paint for Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road's 2008 Ultimate Adventure.

TECH BONUS: Many of you have asked how we decided where to slice and dice for Cousin Willard's boatsides.  They make a huge difference on gnarly trails.  Look below to see how the cuttin' was done
