Boss/President says he can drive over me. I mean 44's are no joke, but im pretty sure i can just maneuver around under the Jeep. :)

Went to Hyundai to pick up my spare tire carrier and all these vultures came rolling out. Didn't say hi until i returned to find all of them there. Lol, so many questions.

Oh he takes it out on some serious trails. If you check out the bead locks they are all scuffed up. Brand new wheels that he took out on Fordyce and the Rubicon this summer.

Did i mention its a supercharged LS swap. :eek:

Yea its no joke. He actually doesn't drive it much on the street as he has those really soft compound tires. They don't like pavement.

Looks like he’s pushed the front axle forward so it can climb strait up as well. At least I know some do that.

Correct, extended front as well. I think the rear is extended a little too iirc.

Only $7600? That seems like a bargain.

Yea not bad for running. I would be worried about the aftermarket paint. Lot of guys cover up heavy rust that way.

There's definitely some rot in the underbody photos, but it's not awful. Could be a nice driver for someone that just wants one to screw around in.

We still need to unload the Hummer. Vira wants a convertible, but it has to be bigger than a Miata. So Cappuccino is obviously out. :eh:
