    If that is a genuine cut and shut job using only Wranglers then that is a nice piece of work.
    Esp if it was done by a third party and not by Jeep

    That might look cool.... if you think pearl snaps are the ultimate in fashion.


    However the whole point of a limo is comfort no? I mean, you wanna be able to lounge around, drink and party. Bucket seats, a Jeep's suspension, and lack of divider (no drinking).... yeah.... gonna have to pass....

    That'd be a bit much cruising down to the 7-11 for a Big Gulp and hot dog, wouldn't it? :shock:

    It looks like they shorten the wheelbase a bit, so the only issue would be height.

    Well, that and the 70mph top speed. :ramen:

    I did most of my learning on a leaf-sprung CJ-7 with no sway bars. How hard could it be? Just point the fucker straight and it will either go through or over whatever's in front of it.

    It's not cool to flatten everyone else on the road. Satisfying, maybe even justified, but not cool. :no:

    The only fun in driving a deuce and half is off road, (not too) muddy and if you can get it up to 70 MPH the interest would be in keeping it right side up.

    Nice! Looks like 2 HF radios, 2 UHF, and 3 VHF. A pretty slick little mobile C2 vehicle.

    Sorry, Elwood, but I'm gonna have to agree with Albert on this one. I see a lot of dumbasses on the road.

    Hell, I might even invade New Jersey with it just to do Forbin a few favors. :muad:
