I was just thinking the same thing when they did it. You could always email in and ask. They could go into depth a little more on why.

The blue one was on trucks not xtream4x4. And it will hold for a while but that thing just became a through away jeep. In time they will get stuck enough to twist it all to hel and it will be junk. But could work for 6 months or 6 years. I wouldn't do it but they aren't XJ freaks.

I know it's a budget build but come on that's just dangerous !! Hopefully he did more than what he showed. Usually Ian is pretty good about safety, but I think he dropped the ball. The blue xj on trucks! Was cool.

as they stated it was t straighten the cross member and then they welded in a receiver to the top of the stock bumper which then got bolted back on.. the piece in front f the cross member was to hold the receiver up and level and straighten the frame in the front not to hook too.. but they put the receiver too far out and it looks like ****..
