Grassroots motorsports (magazine) holds a $2000 challenge where the total budget for your vehicle is $2000. When I used to read grassroots, one of the best issues of the year was how the different $2000 vehicles would compare on looks, a drag strip, and an autocross course. Just read the story of this Jeep and thought you all might be interested. It's not 4x4, but it is amazing engineering on a budget. :)
