But that truck has a plow on it and the first thing I think of is damaged and/or twisted frame. Bad news for a project truck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Re: New Trail Rig??? [Re: MaxJeep] #556205 01/23/05 05:28 AM Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 534 San Antonio, TX R RockJock OP Rock Warrior I wouldn't buy that truck. I have vowed to never buy anything from ebay. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> I just thought a jeep bobbed with a flat bed a 360 t18 d20 and at least dana 44's front and rear would be a cool start. Maybe even find one with the 60 rear. I could see that running on 39 Iroks with a little lift and tube fenders. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> How much longer and taller would it be than an XJ?
