    Looks like he's done a lot more progress of cleaning everything up, looks FANTASTIC!!! Id love to have the skill, time and money to do this although I feel as if you did it yourself the money wouldnt be much more than a modified SL.

    ^^^^^
    I agree about the price. If you could do the fabrication, then the flex/lift with this setup would definitely outweigh any extra cost over the modified SL.

    I found a video of it pretty fully flexed out in the jungle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YscU8AGcaE

    His XJ is pretty sweet aswell. It's sittin' with a 14" lift, not to mention he swapped in some commander headlights!

    This is definitely pretty sweet and yes so is his XJ... Matt I'm sure you could do this over time, he obviously has a lot of time.
