Anyone else ever rebuild a SEMA show truck?

So I bought the Ramsey Winch SEMA 2017 Show Truck.
I knew it was probably not roadworthy and I was correct!
The truck still has the titties on the tread of the tires, not many miles since the show . Well I found a lot of loose bolts and nuts, the wiring was “for the show”.
So I’ve gotten it torn down and building it towards roadworthy.

That’s pretty sweet! Congrats on the truck. Mind if I ask what you paid for it? That’s a good start on what could be a sweet build.

Looks like a fun project. Interested to see the changes and what you do with it.

The plan is overland/rescue style!
I’m not a hardcore destroy my rig kinda guy. I drive them and enjoy the ability to get anywhere I think I need to be.
This will be my first “show” truck but honestly I doubt it changes my driving style.

I started a build page here for it. I haven’t gotten all the pictures loaded yet but I’m getting there!
20 pictures loaded so far, kinda like this!
