Default Custom 14" widened cherokee.

I know you guys don't like outside links but it has the pictures in it. Hopefully this will be one exception.

It has the be one of the most unique things i have ever seen done to a cherokee. Truly a one of a kind!! What the heck were they thinking?
Can you guys imagine the work that went into this thing? Custom front and rear windows, axles, all the welding?

What the.... Why the..... That may be the biggest waste since the smart car monster truck. I mean sure you got more room, but now it's as wide As a full size truck. Dumb with money is scary when they get together.

Love the ad description, you would think with something that has that much work you would want to say something about it

It would have to have full-width axles for the tires to sit where they are in the pictures.

X2, little on the understated side. If I cut a car in half, I'd sure play that up!

It was late when I looked at this, totally Photoshop. Why would you put a ad on cl? Too much time I guess.

Actually it is real - it has been spotted out and about. Very odd though.

In the cl add the spare and the Gerry can cast no shadow, even you see shine on the tire. It looks fake to me, but hay what do I know. I still question the moon landing( space wind and what not)! If it is real I'm guessing stock axles with 0 offset wheels and not full widths. That would have to be one sick bastard.

In the CL ad it appears that the sun is shining from left to right (in the picture of the rear of the vehicle) as the shadow is directly to the right of the truck. You can see a shadow off the spare on the gerry can
