I really want a long bed MJ to replace my aging, twisted, tired 96 XJ, "Old Blue"
I know that I will loose some departure angle but I also plan on going higher with the MJ(6.5 on 35's) than I did with the XJ(5.5" on 35's) and I plan on cutting the rear quarters and making a rear bumper that is purely about departure angle much like my Logans front bumper is made for a high approach angle.
I also plan on using the complete OBD2 system and 96 engine/tranny/t-case as well as my powered doors from the XJ.
This will not be a dedicated trail rig or even a "rock crawler", it will be a multi purpose rig
Thoughts?
