I'm just gonna say I would hate to be caught driving it. I realize there is probably a lot of work put into it, but nothing I would personally take pride in showing the world.

I am a little embarassed driving my own jeep around with the **** welds on the bumpers I made. There is a lot on my own jeep I would love to re-do if I had a garage, and a nice place to layout my tools.

how can that be wheeled though. it doesnt even put enough power to the tires to be a mud bogger. and it sure as hell wouldn't rock crawl. it would tip over on a hill side. it would be to tall for a trail ride.

not trying to bust a nut here.... i just dont see a practical use

to the guy who started this, please enlighten us on what you like to use your jeep for!

The goal is to turn it into a mud bog truck. 488s front and rear . I just started to put some money into it. And the blocks are 2 inch . The motor ill prob do a 4.5 stroker or something along that lines. The bumper is welded into the frame..

I think it looks mean, and a Jeep you could take to the woods and not have to worry about floppin' due to having a nice paint/body.. Besides, as high as it sits im sure it wouldnt take much to lay it over on its top.

Could have sworn I saw a 5spd stick in there, but now see it's an auto... so gearing is not as bad as I thought... I think you'll really like the 4.88's!
I believe all wheeled rigs are a work in progress.

Not embarrassed to drive it, embarrassed of the quality of work I put on it, knowing I could have done better if given the a better place to work. And knowing the people who see it probably think I take pride in the work I did. I do take pride in my work, I'm just not too proud of my bumpers.

i mean any person hows got an XJ all got there own style but to me its just like you hacked a little bit to much up on it . but i mean un xj is un xj at the end of the day gets the job done preferably i thinking about going to an 8 in lift and not going any bigger . fix the bumper put a nice winch on it and since your rolling so big did you think about a EXO cage and get un sye kit for it you probly have mad vibrations going done the road
