Geonovast Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 So I'm perusing google image to find a picture of a gray 2 door 86 XJ to throw into my sig when I find this. From some of the other pics it's obvious there's no engine, trans, or even suspension on this thing... but it made me cry inside.
SuperWade2 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I think that dude is on here..pretty sure he has a lo-build thread somehwere...
vaquaro Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Did you notice its right hand drive ,which probably goes well with them left handed cigarettes they're smokin' :nuts:

From some of the other pics it's obvious there's no engine, trans, or even suspension on this thing... but it made me cry inside. what's wrong with that. I like it. If you recall, that's where beaterjeep's MJ will end up
BookspanS Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Mine might end up lowered some as well . maybe 2" to 3" and a set of 22's my friend has layin around. But I have another Comanche in mind for my mud adventures :D
beaterjeep Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 MMMMM... Someday Baby will be there as well, just not quite that low. :yes:
BLHTAZ Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Yep...that is jbhill's. He has a build thread on it in hte Project forum. It is an amazing job so far and a lot of heart & soul put in to it. It's not something I would ever do to a truck, but I repect what he wants / likes and I am sure it will be a great truck when he is done :thumbsup:
jbhill Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 yup i cut up a perfectly good truck lol. its got an s10 frame and a 350 engine.it started life as a 2wd, so its not like a i killed a good 4x4 MJ...
brdhntr Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 i'm not big on low riders, but a jeep mj lowrider!! now that's just plain cool!!
mvusse Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 It's not my thing either, but I like it because it's different. Lift an MJ? It's been done a million times. Slam an S10? Done a million times. But an MJ laying frame stuffing 20s, you don't see that every day.

wolfpackjeeper Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 not stuffed in there like that I have seen a picture of a black lowered MJ with some 20" 5 spokes that looked great.
jbhill Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 yea from the bottom of hte fender to the top is 26 inches tall in the center, smallest 20 in tire is 27inches i would run...
glundblad Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 We have one in the neighborhood very similar to that one except it is a Chevy 1500. A tree fell on it during a wind storm.
wolfpackjeeper Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 yea from the bottom of hte fender to the top is 26 inches tall in the center, smallest 20 in tire is 27inches i would run... Yea, it looks nice laying like that. Is there any bed in there at all? Do you have pictures of the rear setup? I want to get mine down about 3in to see where it sits. Get it looking something like this: those look a little smaller but the picture title says 20's. I would like to fit 18's really well. possibly bigger, but 18's look nice on a lot of things.

The front is already there and looking great still. The rear is yet to come, but all told, she should be sitting right around the stance of that one you posted.

Whos truck is that?????????? I LOVE it.. I like the wheels too.. and the rock slider is sweet as all get out on that truck... Thanks for the picture and inspiration...
wolfpackjeeper Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I wish I knew dude, I would love to find some more info. I usually dislike nerf bars also, but they really do something for this. It does seem to be just about right, without going into the overzealous category. my inspiration too, but it's ok, we can share.
Pete M Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Who needs the floor? Just slap a cover on the bed and go. :D
