Talking Slammin my XJ soon

Anyone ever drop one of these?

Wonder what a bunch of rock crawlers would do if a Jeep Donk showed up?

They look so aweful, why would you do this to a jeep? here's a pic of one they have been trying to sell in Syracuse for about 3 months, started out at $5000, he's now down to $2000 and still can't sell it.

I always thought it would be fun to find a 2wd one and put a little fatter rear tire on it and a 4.6 stroker or supercharger on it. Just make a street pounder out of it.

I would love to have a street XJ project someday. I've always dreamed of doing it up hotrod style, with say a black 2dr 2WD lowere about 2-3" with some nice mag or chrome wheels and a fatter rear tire, like a 10.5" radial. Paint the plastic trim gloss black to make it all look clean, nice dual exhaust. A 350 swap and Ford 9" rear would make it that much sweeter. If the Blazer/Jimmy crowd can do it why can't we? I'll leave the big blingin rims to the those folks over on the "other" end of town though...

I think that XJ is at stock height, but it looks slightly lowered due to old springs and those retarded wheels. It actually looks to be worth $2k pretty easily other than it's a 4 cylinder. I'd buy it and take those wheels off and make it a DD.

WHY; just why, in 1000 years would you want to drop a jeep? Go get a honda, leave the jeep for people that know what to do with them.

Not to mention: its not gonna be the easiest thing ever.. New springs, shocks, pry some cutting, gonna have driveshaft length issues, etc...
