Hahaha

But business must be good as he is having to upgrade for more room a Tahoe provides.
Sounds like you have some experience with this! :cheesygrin:

Rims like that always amaze me, I start looking for a team of horses attached to the front of the vehicle. They kind of remind me of something off a wagon or buggy from the 19th century! Jealous of the Amish much?

This thread is really dumb.

We are all Jeepers, not d bags. Live and let live. Let others express their creativity.

To each their own.

Nobody asked for your opinion whether this thread was dumb or not.

However, I do agree that we are all Jeepers and should be united. Not saying I wouldn't be friends with this guy; hell I would still post this online. Before this, I didn't even know putting 26s on an XJ was possible. Now we all get to share the knowledge that this is achievable.

As a mod he can have the opinion of a thread being dumb.
I also agree that this thread is dumb. Why bash on a blinged out xj? It's a xj.not my style. Remember people's posts got deleted and banned in "project troll" thread for bashing.

Dumb? Maybe, maybe not. I look at it as an exploration into American popculture. Or in this a case a subculture of vehicle modifications of Jeep Cherokees. The OP has seen something that is different than his jeep and is using this forum to reaffirm his stereotypical version of how an XJ should be modified. The jeep in question is modified in a way that some would interpret the owner as a drug dealing gangster. You may ask yourself how such an inference could occur. Hmmm? I am going to go with mass media. Movies ,videos ,magazines. Which use fear and prejudices to reinforced that 26" rims, blades and spinners represent the thug life. In my post I was poking fun at it by becoming the antithetical stereotype which would mean that all XJ's should be lifted with M/T's mounted on crager soft 8's. I would hope the owner of the "pimped out" XJ would become speechless as well if he saw my stereotypical "rednecked out" XJ. Life is to short for it to be boring. Obviously, I would not drive a jeep like that but its fun to see one.

Actually, this is one of my favorite builds. Very tasteful build of a "street" XJ. Love this one!

That's a super clean one. Nice paint.I like the hoodvents. And I would rock the spoiler but it would have to be rhinolined. The duel tailpipe...it wouldn't have a chance in H E double hockey sticks to get on my XJ.
