My XJ is a "urban" jeep I guess....My Bro bought it in Orlando & drove it to about 212,000 miles up there. I don't think you can get more urban than I-4 between tampa & daytona. 2wd with a 3" lift. Think clean & mean.

And Oath... I could see myself wheeling it too... Maybe see how far it can go off the edge of a boat ramp...

2X4 is a term that's used for a piece of wood 2"x4" (but unless rough-cut actually measures 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"). 4X2 is a term used to describe a vehicle with 4 wheels and 2 wheel drive. 4X4 is a vehicle with 4 wheels and 4 wheel drive. 6X6...etc. You got it now?

I think thats friggin beautiful, i use to have 20's on my jeep didnt like the ride but loved the way it looked, now i have soft 8's and 31's and i think it looks nice both ways.

I noticed alot of people hate on anything thats not the offroad look on jeeps and i kinda understand, but the way i look at it if somebody fixes there jeep and spends time and money to make it look nice they have my respect. As long as they love there jeeps like i love mine its good on my book.

well if your in the city and looking for a street vehicle why not. I say throw a 350 or stroke the motor throw some 4.10's in it throw some airbags and a nice set of wheels and tires (note i said tires not rubber bands) and go dust ricers. Talk about a sleeper

Is that because they're easier to get into? Just kidding. I like most things Jeep too, and both of mine are stock, and I don't go off-road, yet. But to take something with a straight front axle, whether it's a drive axle or not, and make it unsafe like the example I posted is ludicrous in my opinion.

[quote=dlundblad;197131]You know, I dont think it is suppose to set that low... I bet it got ran over at a monster truck rally... But really, that Jeep is ugly... It does not deserve to wear that Cherokee badge on the side... And I bet that poor thing is crying inside...

When that guy airs his bags, you can walk under that Cherokee like you can a swamp buggy.

I don't see how he could have a straight axle AND an engine in that thing. Check it out. The axle is where the engine should be. I don't believe it's a real vehicle. Someone did that on Photoshop I'll wager.

I dont like this one but I admire the work that has been done looks like its been tubbed with stainless and that would take some serious work. and if it was a 2WD i say its a good idea i'd rather see a jeep than a yota slammed
