Default Honey Badger - My build

I thought the name was appropriate as these things just don't care.

How it sits currently (4/24/12)


My XJ used to be a surveying vehicle in my dad's company and it was then his work vehicle. we bought it for $500 from the company when they retired it. it then sat a year and a half with some slight issues.

(I have a pic of this on my home computer, will add later)

When I got my permit we got it back on the road, and it was mine. Got my license and I've been driving it since. I recently just caught the bug and have been starting to modify it. It had some nearly bald street tires on there so I opted to get something a little more aggressive than street tires. I got 29" Goodyear Wrangler Radials.





I put a Flowmaster Super 40 in it with the stock piping. It's better than stock, but I was slightly dissappointed, and I will redo this eventually. Think I'm just going to put a 2.5' tailpipe on as I think it just was breaking in or something.

My next thing is the roof rack. I do not have it installed yet since it's not done being welded yet, but here's an idea of what it will be like.

76"x50"x7" (at the highest and longest Points)







A good buddy on here is welding the rack for me, Thanks Bud! you know who you are!

I should have the rack before May 5th. Painting it with Rustoleum Hammered Paint. I would like to put 4 lights across the top, and 2 on the front bumper.

You either need a more mellow name, or a more aggressive build to suit the name. Lolol ;p
Honey badger is badass.

Got another cherokee


has engine and gas tank skid plates on it. has trans cooler and stuff as well. I think it could have the upcountry package and will look as soon as I get home. Going to be taking the skid plates and putting them on the white one. blue one will become DD and I'll take the white one off the road and accumulate parts and put it on.
