I agree....looks like a lot of work that could have been achieved with a nice lift...and it could have still been street driven and safe.

I plan on build one similar this winter. I bet that thing is somewhat drivible on the road. It have front leafs that would give it some stability.

im guna try to do all coil one,with zero departure angle and zero approach. This one has zero departure angle which is the reason for cutting the back off

im sorry guys but i have to disagree with some of you. this thing is awesome im pretty sure he trailers that thing everywhere. i pretty much trailer mine and im not at his level yet. Some use xjs for daily drivers, some just for wheelin. i will say this though the leafs up front are stupid, the rear does all the work, he could also use a rear suck down winch too.

I agree. Im not a fan of this rig. Something with that kind of flex can be achieved with a nice lift and be street legal..and my jeep is a dd so i wouldnt consider it.
