IMO, no, don't defile your buggy like that. i like trucks, I have an NMT which I love, but I would never consider turning a buggy into a truck. It's like those people who put ferrari bodies on the mk2 Toyota MR2 chassis. Yeh, they look good, and they still go like an MR2, but there's just something wrong with it. My opinion only...

If you want to do it, go for it, it's your car...
