I guess just one of those personal opinion things. Maybe a bit overkill.

Well he certainly is proud of it and I guess as a swamp buggy/hunting vehicle it might be usable but "POSSIBLY THE SICKEST AND MOST CAPABLE JEEP EVER"........?!?!?! Capable of what?? 3" body lift?! 4" suspension on stock control arms and no SYE?! It doesn't mention axles so I am going to bet it has a D35 rear too. (can't tell by the great pics)
Love the roof high tail pipe! :shock:

Oh well, I hate picking peoples vehicles apart but this one is special. To each their own.

I think when he referred to "sickest" vehicle around.. perhaps he meant broken? underpowered?

I'm not bashing the vehicle.. i'd remove all the hideous bumpers on it..
Oh wait.. i wouldn't buy it due to the 2.5.

All i can say is overkill w/ false advertising. can you say.. poured it on thick...

I don't know what I find more amazing. That jeep or the fact that it's got 26 bids :shock:

Now if I ever get the chance and have my camera on me, I'll take a picture of this TJ I've seen around my neck of the woods. It's completely covered in lights. The hood, sides, tailgate, basically any flat surface. Looks pretty rediculous.

Yeah, but bidding started at $100. I'd buy it for $100. Heck there's $100 worth of steel in that front bumper alone.

Actually, you might be wrong about the city slicker thing.... Some people do things a little different down in the Pine Barrens of NJ. Been there, seen that. :lol:

"about the city slicker thing...people do things a little different"

I spent a long summer in Passaic County and I agree completely. Or to paraphrase one J. Foxworthy, 'If the bumper on your 4-cyl Jeep looks like you may have ordered it from the Caterpillar factory you might be a redneck from Ringwood'. LOL
