I really like the 4x6's, but I REALLY like the 1x2's that hold it in line...that cargo strap up front and in back is pretty friggen sweet too... Is that available from Skyjacker or Black Diamond? I can't tell, there's no signature color on there... Or is it a home custom build?

I'm pretty sure it's safe as it doesn't have drive shafts. This means there's no chance of them actually driving it. Well... based off the lift the still might try...

It actually looks like they wanna retrofit a full frame under an XJ, and just have the blocks to keep it raised til it can be located and swapped in. I know that's a full-size Ford short p/u frame or a full size Bronco frame under there. The T/C is there also...

It has the motor and tranny so i bet it has the driveshafts remeber it is a body lift so the motor and tranny stay in place. the frame is probably hiding the drive shaft.

But do you see a rear shaft coming down at some point? Nope.

You can't see the tail end of the tranny because the added frame is blocking the view nor can you see the the front on the rear end. A body lift moves the body not the motor
