I wouldn't have much use for it myself, but it looks nuts

Not a fan of the flares and bumper but it's hard to beat a set of mogs.

Wee bit of jealousy here. Cheapest set I've come across was 4k and just can't drop that kind of coin. 404s are a little cheaper but then you have to deal with torque tubes or custom adapters.

I think the flares are to help make it road legal in the UK. Over here you're not allowed to have tyre poking out past the vertical extent of the flares. It's stupid because you could wrap several small children round those wheels without them even touching the flares... but it's the law.

Getting these for $600. A guy came buy the shop last weekend and said he had those and several sets of 2.5 rockwells. He just wants to make a little more than scrap price. Buying all of them.

Rocks are cheap around here, 400 a set, but mogs are like gold. I ride with a couple of buggys running them and the ground clearance is sick. Have one guy that kinda built his own with ford 8.8s and H1 portals.

I absolutely love my 404's It was the best decision I've ever made with my XJ. It's all stock with the exception of the suspension, axles and tires. We haven't found anything that it won't climb or go through.
