Like I posted on the MKX forum, the designer should be jailed but the guy that approve the design should be sent to the firing squad...

I started with a bone stock 86K mile '04 Wrangler LJ that had a bunch of neglected maintenance to catch up with, tired and tweaked suspension, and minor damage to front bumper.

Before




After

Pro Comp Alloy wheels and 31" MT2 tires, OME 2.5" lift with transfer case drop spacers
JKS Front Track bar, Ruffstuff Y-Link steering, and a Warn Rock Crawler Bumper.






I wanted to keep the stock gearing and just give it a more muscular stance. I really like how it turned out and the driving experience is night and day better.

Object all you want, but blame Audi for opening up the gates to hell nearly a decade ago. It just took others longer to catch up, and then they tried too hard to be different and unique.

Trivia question, anyone know why the fuselage is a flattened "S" shape?

To get the nose lower to shorten the nose gear and to raise the tail surfaces.

Extra long props required more clearance?

Way before my time but I think this is one of the sexiest multi engine designs of all time.
