Default The Good and The Evil XJ's, The Evil's rebuild.

Well it's time for a little redoing of the Evil XJ, going for a more aggressive look.

Just started to disassemble, so let's see where this is going.

Sweet! Do you have any close-ups of the roof rack on the OD XJ? I'm looking to build one like it.

Thanks in advance.

there is a an xj on youtube that has been cut in half behind the rear doors, and then made into a buggy. It is black and can be seen by typing in (jeep xj 4x4)I believe.

With a $250, serial numbered, hand made Cherokee body hacking it behind the doors seems too extreme, I'd cringe just watching you do it lol. But from watching your other builds, you will come up with something good with it.

Quick question- Where did you get those axle wideners?

If I remember correctly Ebay?

Maybe a link please?

On the jeep, what about Rc4wd rocky countrys? Maybe not the look your going for though.

Thanks,

Ben

The white XJ is on 39.5's with an 11" lift.
The black one is on 38's.

Based on proportions I'd say The Evil is running forties with about 6"-8" of lift.

Too big? Depends on what yer building, but I think it's just right.
