I just think aesthetically they have built some good looking jeeps. I don't really like the look of there stage 6 builds though

I would like post two pics of one of my favorite "Top Shelf" cherokees. I don't know who this particular Cherokee belongs too. I found the pictures on google images a little while ago.
It it has been chopped and looks like it has new paint. I think the most interesting are the Ford Explorer flares.

Anyone know what flares are on the white and the gold xj's in the first 2 pics? They're on a few others too.

Here's a pic I found on google a while back when trying to see how it would look if I put lights on the factory roof rack. This is clean and lightly built.

And this I saved when researching metal flares. It's pre 97 and I love the bumper to bumper protection with the flares built in. Need some other angle pics of it though.

In my humble opinion those jeeps are nice but outside of lift tires trail armor nice pain they are mostly stock. Meaning aaxles, trans, transfer, and motor. People get off to easy modding a rig. I understand not everyone has the skills or money to mod everything like some of us. I do however believe we should not knock anyone for small cheep lift and cookie cutter rims. Most all jeeps you showed not much has changed I even looked at your build and again stock components with lift tires and the such.
I believe we should inspire people do go outside their comfort zone and tackle things like axle swaps. Transfer swaps. Building motors. If you check out my rig I do plan to paint and do interior in time but you never start that till you are done with the rest of the build. My axles for instance I have never been formally trained but through research self taught perseverance and trial and error I build the axles with 1/2" thick walled axles tubes lockers race polished gears chromies. Seen it done on off-road shows u tube and talked to several shops and now they are under my rig. So I summery I see what you wanted with this tread but I think it's a little miss placed. There are all kinds of different level builds and no one is better or worse and than the other. I am far more modified than 90% of the rigs on here but I learned a few things from smaller less skilled builds on here.
