oh well get a 2wd s-10 the older the better and get the leaves out.take out all the xj leaves but leave the main and attatch the s-10 leaves minus botton.this netted to about 3.5 to 4 inches on mine and they where flat.

Ya I could build a pretty bad *** xj but I cant take the top off it. I have been driving my dads lj and my bros yj around without the top and doors and it is pretty intense driving them, especialy on the freeway. but I Have no idea what Im going to do I just think having a cj, yj, and tj in the driveway would be pretty cool.

Im also looking at this yj that my dad knows the owner it has a 4.2 I-6 wirth the good trany locked front and rear lifted 4" with 32's and a M8274-50 warn winch all for 2500$ but it has not passed emmisions for 6 years, well the guy has not tryed to pass, its a trail rig.

You could take the doors off still lol but locked front and back would be a ***** to drive around seattle and will be eating tires up. plus isnt the 4.2 a 2bbl carb??
