It would look even more awesome doorless. Can't wait to see it with more lift/tires. Love the color.

With that snorkel it looks like you could get the water above your head. Then you would need a snorkel!

Black on teal always looks good.

I like it...One question do you get tons of water in the engine bay with your hood spaced like that? I want to do this too.

Do those 33's rub your control arms bad with stock offset rims? DO you have wheel spacers?

In order to get your hood to sit that way did you use some washers or something under the hinges? And did you have any issues with fitment? Like, did it require some adjustment to get the hood to close properly? I've seen this mod done a hundred times on track cars, but never on a Jeep and I gotta say, I like it! Very nice XJ too, I've always had a soft spot for teal Jeeps, and yours is a 2dr, 4x4, 5spd teal Jeep! Which is about as close to perfect as you can get, great work buddy!
