I do not know much about the lunchbox's, but any truck can be made into a crawler if it has solid axles and shock mount locations. You are going to have to stretch the wheelbase with new links and add longer shocks like the T-Maxx shocks. If you do chose to build one do a build thread! It chould be very interesting!

You could but it will take some custom work..........like using the rear ends from two LB's, modding one or both ends to be able to steer, building a frame and setting up suspension, steering linkages. More work then you want to do unless you already have two and a bunch of parts sitting around.
