Incredible work, glad to see more Alberta guys, especially who have such a built rig, and who understand the pain of buying part's in Canada, haha. Those are some amazing fab skills. Can't wait to see this thing in action, both in picture on the forums and potentially on the trail one day The only thing that's similar about our XJ's is the original colour and the location of the Rubicon Express sticker.

 

thanks guys, I have this week to try and finish the rear fenders before I go back to work. I was originally planning an exo-cage, but decided to do internal, what do you guys think on external Cage? I think it might ruin the look of the xj.

 

With the look of the front fenders a full exo would take away the looks overall to me. Maybe a hybrid would be cool, look into that. If not, go internal.
But congratulations man! I can only dream of building a rig as sweet as this one day

 

Meh, I don't like the rear flares or that chunk of steel triangle full of holes up front.

Maybe it'll look better once it has huge tires under it. I guess we'll see.

 

Yeah that's what I'm thinking about the whole thing to. Imajin bigger tires I'll make that thing look bad

 

I hope you know I'm in agony...thanks a lot lol

 

Really? I kinda like the flares, the front does look like it needs to be fit to the body a lil better. But those dimples have to make it stong as ****.

The rear fenders look a bit too big IMHO but I'm loving the front!

 

With full widths and 42s, I bet the tires will still poke out a good amount

 

It's good to see something really different on here. Even if some of the things he does aren't exactly my taste I still think it's an incredible build to watch.

 

Nice to see your still plugging away at it. I'm in the same boat, 3 years down rebuilding, and still buying parts or garage tools to build parts. Just picked up a new bender, I'm pretty stoked, now to buy the Steel.


I would go hy-brid cage, with no headroom inside XJ, it really hurts when you spank your head against the cage !


cheers Rob

 

Just read this from start to finish....

 

They just look big in general. But this thing is amazing so I'm just going to sit back and watch it come together

 

Good Lord, just read through this and all I can say is WOW! Awesome fab skills! I'm not fan of all the stuff, but heck, with something this BA, who cares if everyone likes what you've done. Very amazing job on it!
