The rear suspension is a modified RK coil conversion...and the front is 100% custom one off that i built for this XJ...I CAD every day using Solidworks...so i used it to my advantage when building the exact hybrid cross member i needed to work with the suspension pickup points, for my ride height, as well as clear the Atlas with out any issues...All the front arms are built from 2" - .250" wall DOM...the rears are all solid stock 1018...

The Ruffstuff stiffeners are great; I didn't have any issues with them. Like anything with an xj, you have to have patience when installing them and try not to half ***** them when your working with them...takes a little persuasion to get them on right...awesome product for sure

I had the XJ on the rack over at S&S Custom Off-Road for the exhaust system. New pipes from the manifold back...

Attachment 374026

They decided they wanted to bring it back to my shop in proper form...S&S wanted to "move" there tow rig around a little bit...

Well...here is the end result after about 4 months of work...finished up with all the OR-Fab bumpers and armor, Gobi USA roof rack and all the Rigid Industries LED light bars...it's about 95% done at this point...brought it into the paint booth for some photos after getting everything mostly done...

Just to lay the record straight...I didn't come up with the name, a friend of mine did as a joke while i was finishing it up and it kind of stuck with it for some reason....SO! as a small tribute to FIAT (who owns Ferrari...and of course Chrysler/Jeep since '09) we dubbed this XJ "Ferrar Jeep"....that...and the paint that Beal's auto body used really was Ferrari red (they had a wrecked F550 in the shop, that was getting some work done, and had extra left over...go figure)...all i need now is to find one of those V12's laying around....

This is probably one of the sickest jeep I have EVER seen. I just looked at the pictures ha sorry but roughly about how much have you put in to it? Just out of curiosity. And if you don't want to say, then I understand. But seriously, that's awesome.

gvns8 Apr 27, 2012 08:29 PM

Dang man amazing looking jeep. I know this took a ton of hard work. Great job!

Did you design or have input on the new ORF products on your jeep? They look sweet!
