Here is My 96 Jeep 4.0 2 Door. Almost Complete. A bit longer neededWhat you think so far. I do need front coil springs or 2 inch spacers, a winch for the new bumper and the third set of fog lights for the bumper.

Remove the step bars, and if those lights on the roof are fog lights move them to the bumper, because they aren't doing anything on top of the roof. You need driving lights on the roof.

An trim the fenders below the bumper.

It'd look great with:

1. Some lift. (Which you have planned)

2. Some tires that weren't designed for the street.

3. If you cut the bottom of the front fender and the OE plastic valance from under the the front bumper.

I've never been a fan of winch bumpers that stuck way out on Jeeps with small lifts but if that's your thing go for.

A 12* approach angle just isn't for me.

Edit: Okay not untouched but pretty sure the driver would be alright. Maybe a broken foot or so...but still, remarkably safe for as small as the are

Yeah i saw that too, the car would be fine but the Passenger would be dead from the sudden stop. You'de almost be better off strapping a rocket to your back and flying into the same wall at that speed. Traditional cars have crumple zones for a reason!

With this you would be find in slower crashes like say 50mph into a non-solid object with that fancy crap they have inside the car, but 70-80 into something solid seems a bit much for something with less than a foot of metal for a crumple zone.
