this is how i feel...i have a cheap ass 1200 XJ welded front and rear on some nobby ass tires that could probably keep up with one of those fancy shmancy JKs on most trails and that's what the sad part is...140K to have something that a 2-3K rig can do is pretty sad if you ask me but to each their own i guess....for pavement princesses!!lol
For you guys hating on people buying a $130k package truck...
... so what? Is this really just jealousy that somebody else has that kind of disposable income?
I really don't see what the big deal is. If they've got the cash to spend, unless they are somehow doing it on my dollar then I don't see how/why I should care, and more power to 'em. There are people out there who have busted their asses in some way or other and have a lot of disposable income. Good for them. If their time is worth more to them than the effort of building it themselves, and they wanna write a check to somebody else to do it... fine by me. People have different priorities in life. some people don't wanna spend the time and effort to scrounge up parts and mix and match things and do their own engineering, they're rather spend that time doing something else (and that something else might be the way they pay for the truck!
And meanwhile, they are spending money that is giving jobs to other folks, giving some fabricators work to do, and helping spread their business around. Good for them!
It's not how I would spend $130k right now, but I'm not sitting on a pile of cash. Honestly if I were, I'd seriously consider it.

I have seen more than one POS Cherokee (@Dylan W. @toytodestroy) show up a much more expensive rig. The wife's XJ is a $1500 beater that has shown up more than 1 Rubicon, and what can we say about the "No Budget" ECORS TONY STEWART WANA BE? Some were driver, some were the fact of I have no problem destroying $1500 and the other guy was to tight to destroy $60k.View attachment 189728 View attachment 189729
If your jeep will "keep up" with a $140k built rig, it only be because 90% of the parts that fell off your rig are now in his back seat!!
I'd venture that the $1500 rig on 33's would go through a DOT/DMV inspection station or a drive through car wash much better than that sweet buggy
that's a really dumbass saying dude...no shit shirlock. anyone with any kind of sense would know that. that's about the dumbest post i've seen comparing some cheap xj build to some killer expensive monstrous buggy built to handle the most extreme terrains....yeah you're a real bright one
Can that go between trees less than 6'apart?
you talking about that fancy yellow one with all kinds of gizmos...yeah that guy brags about that thing like it's the baddest of the baddest..talkin about allow D30 shafts, alloy 8.25 shafts...blah blah blah. I told him i'd put up pink slips that my XJ would go farther than his on any trail but he was too proud of his pretty little jeep to even fathom that challenge but to this day, still seems to think his 30k xj would out do mine. i laugh till this day. It's a PHAT MALL CRAWLER/sweet looking Jeep XJ but for the money he brags about it, it ain't seen no trails yet.
