Yes, I said I have. But its not safe or smart. I made one for my buddy's mud bogging Chevy that is always trailered and only goes about 30 top speed. Those are cast for strength. I cant pour castings.

Most of the things I make go to NASA or Boeing or offshore oil rigs. So I can basically tell you you could never break it. If I weld it I will also x ray it for safety.

Basically here's what will happen to your Jeep.


Stupid, cheap mods like this are the reason why us XJ owners get a bad rep.


If you put that on your Jeep, make sure you go for a test drive where there will be no other cars on the road. By all means, feel free to injure yourself, but don't get innocent people involved in your thoughtless mistake.
