Post by: chrisfranklin on August 19, 2006, 11:28:49 PM: I like the engineering with Low-Riders. And if it got me laid, I'd probably have one, too :lol:

But, the idea of taking a jeep and lowering it like that is kind of repulsive given the vehicle's intended use. But, hey, why not, DC will make more (course, not of that classic "YJ" look that everybody loves)

Post by: Jesse-James on August 20, 2006, 10:40:07 AM: Not just lowered, it's got hydro's.

Elements faster and more comfortable. Scion gets better gas mile and has a whole lot more room. Either would be better over that POS. It's got to be heavy with all of those batteries and hydrolics.

Here's the only lowered Jeep, I like:

Post by: GreenBayjeeper on August 22, 2006, 06:29:18 PM: Just think though. For every abortion like that you see, there's just that many more un-used 4WD parts available.
That and when the guy looses his job at Wal-Mart, he'll have to sell the Jeep. Losers.

Post by: Tall Boy on August 22, 2006, 07:18:41 PM: He'd probably find a job with the county or school district somewhere if that ever happened. They have temporary sympathy for sad cases like that, plus, they would give him some educating as well I suppose.

Post by: YJmechanic on August 29, 2006, 04:33:30 PM: the last truck show I went to a guy had an xj that he lowered and was fitting a body kit to. i stared at it for about ten minutes and then the guy said "pretty sweet right? I'll be the only one around with the body kit!" a friend of mine drug me away but I got a couple choice words in before he did. the kicker was it was a 4wd model too. What a waste. i thought about picking up a 2wd xj and putting in some power just for fun but this guy seriously thought he had the coolest xj around.
Title: This is sad...
Post by: chardrc on August 29, 2006, 05:16:44 PM: theymade a 2wd xj :sad: what a shame... oww that reminds me of need for speed underground when you could lowe rand put bodykits on an escalade.. but thats alittle different cxus its a cadi not a jeep...

They made 2wd XJ's, MJ's, ZJ's, I believe WJ's and KJ's also. The new JK will also be available in 2wd.

Post by: chardrc on August 29, 2006, 05:48:47 PM: its a real shame.. but i gues they didnt have to look too fare to see the idea.. aka the dj3a.. but it still makes me :sad:
Title: This is sad...
Post by: YJmechanic on August 30, 2006, 06:20:32 AM: some people just want the vehicle and don't care about 4wd. i agree with the 2wd xj for something like a work truck cause you get the reliabilty of the drivetrain but better fuel milage from the 2wd. xj was a workhorse vehicle.

Actually...some sand paper and a couple of cans of flat black spray paint would do wonders..

Entire body is polished stainless, and they put a Toyota 4banger in it. Nothing like polishing a turd is there.
For Sale at Collins Bros for $16K.

Wow.

Actually, that looks like a Jeepney form the Philippines. I'm betting it is since that's what they normally do. The bodies are hand-made. I wouldn't call it a turd. It's just another Jeep variant like the Mahindra, Mitsubishi, etc...
Title: This is sad...
Post by: chrisfranklin on December 22, 2006, 09:35:10 PM: Yeah, man, no rust ever on that thing - body will last forever (in theory). Would prefer a Chevy Big Block or a Hemi in there, or at least a 90's era 2.5 or 4.0L AMC engine in there (then again that Turbo 2.4 looks kinda interesting and might be a perfect match for the unusal look of this one).

Post by: chardrc on December 23, 2006, 07:44:50 AM: wooo.. what did they do to the fenders!!!! i can see the lines of were they should be but then under that i see these rounded fenders.. :( :( .. its so posed to be a flat fender.... and is that the exhaust pipe coming out ontop of the foot step at the end of the fender???

i was holding out to post on this tell i found something wrong other than the Toyota motor... and now i have..

Post by: lanulos89 on December 23, 2006, 09:41:42 AM: wuts with the roadster fenders,???????????????? eww!

needs some mud
Title: This is sad...
Post by: Jesse-James on December 23, 2006, 12:25:43 PM: Yeah, I didn't realize at first that body is handcrafted from stainless. That is impressive. Just don't like the look of it. Would be better brushed ala Delorian style. As far as the motor, I had a Yota' with the 22R 4cyl, it had less balls than the 2.5 by far. Althought the damn thing never quit running. All in all, there's definately worse Jeeps out there.
