The only place I know of that you could get away with driving that rig down the road is MOAB!

No problem driving that here in Kentucky, I've seen full blown buggies going down the highway in N. Carolina......Only major item missing is turn signals/marker lights......

Want round headlights ... buy a Wrongler. You too Mark! You know I love you, but ...

Anyway, since it's not my Jeep & y'all can do with yer XJ's what you want to, my (positive?) contribution to the thread is thus: Just yesterday I was looking at the resemblance of the Patriot to the XJ & I wondered: would the front grill fit with minor modification? (Not for me of course ... for those of you who want to bastardize the stately XJ with round peepers).

So many haters. You guys wouldn't have XJs if it wasn't for Jeeps with round headlights. What happened to the saying "real jeeps have round lights"? I think it's pretty cool when done tastefully. I've been considering borrowing the lights off one of the parts Scouts in my backyard to do mine...

I kind of like the round headlights, it looks a lot better than the projector conversion in the square headlamp housing.
