Why would somebody do that? I love my xj. BUT I love k5's. A k5 is awesome lookin I think. but this is just stupid in my own opinion. jeep xj's are awesome cause they are light. They are light cause they are UNIBODY. So this guy just destroyed why an xj is awesome I think.

Agreed, I love the k5 blazers and the xjs, but they aren't meant to be one. Haha they claim it was 20000 build, what a waste, I can think of alot better things to do with 20 grand.

Gee, you get all of the rust problems of the Cherokee, and all of the crappy ride and handling of the K5! The worst of both worlds!

I don't think it took much $$ to do that because everything on the frame looks stock.
I think he just could not afford a real lift kit my opinion.

agreed. If this guy spent 20k on this build then he over payed for a lot of stuff. The interior has wires hanging everywhere for switches and new gauges, the frame is stock k5, and the front wheel is missin lugs! This is just another hack n slap body on frame. What a waste IMO. I would rather had the k5 or the xj.

Its got the "big gay truck syndrome" goin on.. Too, i dont like any vehicle that cross bred like that. Its one thing to swap to diffrent motors, drivetrain but any body put onto some other kind of frame is just gaayyy.
