Default Hummer H1 crawler

Got this today:













Pre-painted Hummer body. I would have chose something that wasnt pre-painted, but unfortunately there just doesnt seem to be any this size Hummer.

Well anyway I like that color, but I dont like that soft top.
Bed would also be better without that cover, but what would a project be without challenge?

So this is what I am going to do:

First I need to make the chassis a bit longer
Bigger tires should be wide enough so it wont look stupid
Working lights
Maybe sanding down the soft top and do a hard top instead
Maybe opening up the bed too
I already got the 4wd-set, but it needs locked diffs
Replacing plastic parts to metal
Crawler motor. Open for suggestions.

I also need some sort of offroad-equipment onto it. Maybe I buy one or two plastic model kits and salvage what I can, but what would be good set(s) for that? Roof rack, gas canister, more lights and stuff like that.

And maybe, just maybe I just fit all the xmods electronics and stuff inside that Hummers body and do some serious chassis modification.
