I liked the build.  The tires are a little big but not a deal breaker by any means.  They didn't mention what gearing it had but I'd assume 5.38's...  No mention of any transfer case mods.

Loved the build and a white 4 banger to boot! The only concern i would have is overall wheelbase length decreasing due to the 37s. A frame stretch kit would allow for more optimal length but they may not have had the time. Because of that, I would have just gone with 35s.

I liked what they did...  Would have loved to see more wheeling shots, though.  But overall, I'd say that's a very nicely built 4-banger.

One day before I get rid of my Jeep, I want to ship it to LA and drive it to Moab and all those cool places to wheel, and then ship it back home...  I have always dreamt of doing that some day!  And there should be no taxes involved, as the Jeep was bought in the US and has already been imported to Panama.

The only problem I see with the build is that the axles probably cost twice as much as the Jeep.  Although that's not really a problem but it doesn't make the Jeep a bargain either.
