It has potential to be a cool street rig, but needs a LOT of changes, I mean a LOT.
-It needs SRW front hubs with regular SRW style wheels.
-The flares have potential, if they all are done like the front ones.
-The winch has got to go. A 12k pound winch mounted behind a nice smooth clean bumper would be much nicer.
-The hood needs to be redone like a normal cowl hood.
IMHO, to do this the cleanest, and the most purposeful, a dually XJ would need:
-the body seperated from the unirails and slid down over a 78-79 Bronco chassis (only 2" wheelbase difference, strong frame)
-efi460 with granny low 4 speed
-8 lug outers swapped onto the front d44
-14b C&C rear axle swapped in
-34x9-16 Swampers on all 4 rear wheels
-34x12.5-16 Swampers up front
-12k winch
