    Thanks man. This is the first big build like this I’ve ever done. Couldn’t think my friend enough for the help.

    Your level of custom design and integration of top components on the super XJ makes me wonder if some sponsorship could happen. Perhaps some challenging trail performance can put this super XJ on the map creating a buzz in the off-road community. Ain't no mall crawler or DD thats for sure. Keep up the great work

    Gotta give my buddy credit for all the custom stuff I’ve got him to do. It would be awesome to be sponsored that’s for sure. Thanks for your kind words, means a lot.

    That's really interesting man. It adjustable correct? So what did you guys do. Thread the inside of the tubing and fab Heims to fit? Looks really nice dude. Got my interest peaked.

    No the heims slide inside the tubes and you weld them on. Right now they’re just tacked on.
