I think it would be a PITA to cut out all those rivets and then redrill 40 holes for the bogies versus 20 for the singles. With that small foot print though it would be a bada$$ off road.

Removal is bad enough , for the re-install I'd consider going with fewer bolts that were a larger dia. to save on soem drilling. Duece frames are not hard but every once in a while you hit a spot thats just tougher then the others.

The reason of ALL the bolts is for a better clamping together of the parts( a lot less movement), not so much for out right strength. as much DESIGN that is in these trucks, if fewer larger bolts was thought to be a good idea, there would be larger bolts, there is a REASON for everything and the way it is done on these trucks
