The rear hatch is not a bad idea but on the opposite side to clear for a spare tire carrier. The rest is... well, a little too dated and done in poor taste.

hey everyone has a different taste.. but to me, i feel like this jeep is crying out "why would you let this happen".. definitely not my cup of tea.. but on that note.. its looks cheaply painted.. oh and the Christmas lights are very tacky.. i think you would be better off making yours they way you want..

At least he listed everything bad about it under INTERIOR and EXTERIOR, that was considerate.

Spray on chrome on the engine!
Christmas lights on the interior!
That Vinyl coated panel behind the front seats does not have a single straight cut on it!
Speaker holes in the front door panels look like they were cut out with a butter knife by a 3yr old.

Not my style at all but IF the work was done properly that would be a rather nice show Jeep. But the shoddy craftsmanship just kills it. I mean seriously If your going to go through all that work you could at least cut a round hole to mount your round speaker in and use a straightedge to mark cuts in your custom panels and enclosures!

Someone should buy it cheap, strip all that crap off of and out of it and get the 4x4 working again. Selling off all those electronics should get you more than enough to buy a lift and tires altho the lack of door handles would really **** me off.

The $4,900 is WAY to high for that XJ.
Issues:
4x4 doesn't work
The flashers not working means electrical somewhere - switch, wires, etc.
"Some" quirks - needs to be more specific
VERY cheap paint job
Horrible craftsmanship on the interior
The bumper and side kit pieces have been warped to fit

I really wonder how he's won 76 trophies with that thing. Personally, I think you'd be better off spending the money doing this kinda of stuff to your current one if this is the look you're going for. It's definitely not the look I'd ever want, but, to each his own. I've bought a lot of used cars and I can tell you this without any hesitation - walk away from this one.
