Agreed. And the Caddy taillights are perfectly molded. It was such a unique touch before they started getting into minitrucks

Yeah... I have the build thread for it bookmarked somewhere. I'll have to see if I can't dig it up.

Yup! I remember someone commented on their dislike for it in an unrelated thread - just randomly finding the picture somewhere, and the owner piped up and told him all the hard work that went into it along with all the other modifications to it. Basically the OP was bashin' the jeep saying it was ricer-modded and got called out because of the legit mods done to it. Classic.

That's the other one I like. Another very nicely done chop. This one is probably more akin to a true "Cheromanche" than the green one. BUT, I like the green one because it's more like the small Jeep version of a k10 blazer or Ford Bronco with the removable half-top.

I don't like the red one, personally. It doesn't sit well with me. I don't like the bars or the way the curved taillights clash with the stamped lines in the MJ's tailgate. But that's just my opinion. I definitely respect the amount of work he did. Very high quality.

I always go with a 4Dr for the kids' sake, but I sure do dig that 2Dr look. Clean and uncluttered.

Im a single man going into the nation's greatest fighting force, kids wont be for a while so I am living a fulfilling life.

Installed a Rubicon Express RE1600 track bar today! Death wobble is completely gone but I'm still having a slight shaking issue. Pretty sure my front tires are oval shaped, plus I still need ball joints.

I see where you're comin' from there. I'm a little iffy on the bars and the MJ tails would have looked much better. He probably has the 97+ clip on it and was trying to match with that theme... that'd be my guess. Doesn't matter much when people can't see the front from the back though.

Might have a bent wheel, tires could be out of balance, or you could indeed have a tire out of round. 2 of my stupid Mudstars are out of round and it gives a bit of a vertical bounce every now and then... of course bad shock bushings are amplifying it.

If I remember correctly both of my front wheels have a slight bend in them somewhere, I suppose I could try putting my back tires on the front. But my backs are out of balance too lol
