Default MG200 Designs - Jeep XJ - custom chassis build, full interior roll cage

I've always loved XJ's...had a nice 1991 years ago and loved going wheeling with it. Here's my take on a trail worthy XJ.


The beginning:


Looking good




More pics in a bit!

I am not to good at taking progress pics But here's how it sits now, full interior cage.

Any opinions on the front bumper? Still need to add some bracing here and there on chassis. I'll get some with the body on soon...

x2!! Amazing! Those shock towers just flat out excite me toooo much

Is the tubing stainless or steel that is really buffed out?
Safety Silv56? I cannot get my 56 braze to look that color. Always has a copper look to it,

I think that front bumper looks good.

Thanks guys. Front bumper looks better now that I added some plate work. Almost done, will be adding steering servo mount, servo winch mount and rear bumper spare tire carrier.

There is also enough room to put a axial tranny behind the servos and in front of the firewall. I think it would looks killer with the door windows cut out and a full interior!

Wow Trenton, you're really bustin' them out these days.......I think you've built more trucks this year than I have in 5. Looks good, I really like how the bumper turned out.
