I had this XJ built by Dr. Smash in Carson City, NV. He did the vast majority of the work on it, and the fabrication is amazing. I intended to keep her forever, but my mom is sick, and I now have different priorities.

The build is mostly new, less than 5k miles on all the major stuff, under 2k on the engine. She was built to drive to and from the trail, and is a pleasure to drive.

This XJ is featured in the February 2017 issue of Petersen's 4 Wheel and Offroad.
