Ya know. I kinda like that. I think I'ma make a me a sticker for my Jeep. "Rock Humper" I like it!
Ok, so now that we have distinguished there is a difference between a "Mud" truck and a "Rock Humper" I'll say this:
Would you like to know how I'd set that Jeep up to be a "Mud" truck?
I'd plate the entire frame rail front to back with 3/16" plate.
I'd lower it down so that there's is 12" between the top of the axle tube and the bottom of the frame.
Then I'd get some EXTREMELY stiff springs of some sort.
Cut the hell out of the fenders
In the back I'd run a 4 link (A real 4-link) with some more extremely stiff springs.
Now, I'd go back to the front, remove the 4.0, and install a high horsepower turbo V6 of your choice with a rather large shot of nitrous.
THEN, bolt on some 35" boogers with every other lug cut off.
MUD Truck.
I despise your mentality. It irritates the hell out of me that you think that because "it's a mud truck" it's ok to cut corners and build an unsafe vehicle. If I can get in touch with Paul I entend to make you famous.
When I suceed I'll shoot you a link.

Please tell me that you didnt welded the upper parts to the lower part of those radius arms. Also people generally put the edge of the box tubing down cause that is the strongest part, not the flat.

I can see the resemblance in the last 2 photos.
Can we compare the front of the Chick on the roof of the Jeep to the back of the Chick on the roof of the Jeep?
Don't worry dude. It's all love.
You're not alone.
This build is almost as stupid as yours. Not quite but pretty darn close.
