Lets see the MJ with the doors off. Might do it to mine!
I'm famous!

It would look a lot better if he painted his door jambs, but here's an example:

I don't like the TJ flares on it, but otherwise that a pretty nice goal for your MJ! I don't dislike TJ flares in general, when done right. Like Dukie's, those look tight

I've always liked the TJ front flares when they're parallel with the body line. CF member 'no rdplz' has the perfect example of what I mean.


That said, I don't plan to do TJ flares on the MJ. I was going to on the XJ, but I'm gonna put flatties on this one.

I think he may have meant "adding AC" by "removing restrictive doors". Sort of like Lotus' "adding HP by 'increasing lightness". lol thats really what they say

I'd need to check the weather reports to answer that accurately.

Originally, the plan was a SOA conversion 6.5" with 35s, but I think I'm just gonna do a SOA 4.5" with 33s. There's nothing around here that would require anything bigger than that.

More clearance and I won't have to buy leaf springs. Since I'll need custom built perches anyway, I can make them longer than an XJ's to prevent axle wrap.
