I liked it better when he was running 38s. Buddy of mine, kinda, built the exo about 4-5 years ago then it got sold and another guy got a local axle shop to build the axles and lift it more. Last I heard some guy in the Carolinas bought it and rolled it.

A lot of people would call that too big, I think its the perfect size hah. But then again I dont rock crawl or do hill climbs I only hit deep mud. It's sure nice during the hurricane season in FL I just run over whole trees that fall in the road and I can go through flooded streets like nothin haha.

Found an old pic of when it was still on 38s and a 44 front. The original owner wheeled the pee out of that thing. Next owner put the 49s and such. This is the day he picked it up at the shop that did the exo.

This woud suck on trails b/c of height and probably hardly has any turning radius and not enough axle for 49's ...would suck as a bogger since it's only running 4.0/aw4 . But it is well worth 12k in parts/fab easily I would buy it drop it down sell the 49's and get something 40-44 size it does have a ton of potential .
Just now stumbled upon this thread.
I traded a TJ for this from a guy in TN and towed it back to NC. I swaped out the 46's for the 49's. Wheeled it for the summer and sold it to a older guy who came up from florida. I have not heard it was rolled and never came near rolling it in NC. So i doubt its been rolled...... But last i heard it was living in FL on the coast.
