Take it offroad or take it back.

Naming of the "Crew Cav"

Project "Crew Cav" has been named as a play on words.  With no factory dual cab available it was decided to go for a crew cab.  As this multicab really is a individual cab.  So changing the Cab to Cav is easy to do and ties into the Caterpillar Theme.
