Thanks a lot everyone!

Could not have done it without everyones votes and support! Glad everyone else appreciates all the hard work that went into it. Good news is, that its FAR from finished. Maybe 12 months from now you will see her back up for COTM with lockers, fender flares, cowl hood, snorkel, who knows!!!

Make sure to keep checking out my build thread to stay up to date!

Congrats to everyone else, there were some bada$$ rigs this month!

Will

Gratz bud. I had a hard time voting between you and dom I believe it was but I made my final Descision on you. If I were to have either of your jeeps, I woulda rather had yours. that is ona the cleanest xj's on here.

Thanks a bunch bro! Definitely try and keep her looking fresh; i guess it stems from me owning really nice cars before my XJ.

Glad you settle on my cherokee! But i know the others were awesome! Doms was really clean as well and Juicys was an awesome chop top.

Great looking and very trail capable too. The best of both worlds IMHO. Raider colors too so you got my vote.
