Default Am I too mod for this forum?

I'm new to forums in general but not new to customizing 4X4's. My first Jeep was a DJ at sixteen. I think I've owned at least a dozen so far, if you count Jeep, ****** and AMC Eagles. I've always followed my own creative outlet and shied away from what was "the norm". I'd like to know if this XXX-J modification is too extreme for this forum. I didn't see anything like it and I don't wish to offend anyone. This is actually my daily driver.

not at all "too extreme" we have a couple very nice "extreme" rigs if you look around.

Welcome to the forum, and we look forward to hearing your input

Sweet rig, to each is own. And for the record I love people who think out of the box.

I've got some cut and some bent..I have to finish some mods on the cross members and skid plates before I can install the rock rails and then the foundation for the cage. All has to happen before the cage can be fabed completely. It's going to be and endo / exo. By the time I finish drawing it it will be built...Oh YA!

Sweet ride. Can't wait to see more. Quick question. How did you route your exhaust like that?

I've always disliked the exhaust under the trans and vowed someday to find another route. This one is tight and needs some heat shielding in various places and runs right through two custom made cross-member braces. I still have to create attachment points for the rock rails...but have a good design for all of it...All it takes is time, money and a few choice expletives... Thanks for the compliment.
