Well I have seen a Jeep Wrangler violated like the second and third one, some guy did it around 02-04 to a light green TJ. Full hydraulic's and airbags removed T-case and replaced axles to do it. It spent more time in shops for repairs than on road or car shows. About only thing not modded was grill, hood and tailgate to do it. He was invited to visit the Jeep club I was in, but not warm welcome with it. The guy traded it in for a more tuner type of ride the dealership that took it in ended up selling it at scrap metal price. To each their own.

I don't plan on putting any major mods to mine. I have to many lights on mine, for what some people here would think. But I want to be able to light up the night..... Hitting a deer or hog sucks!

I started this thread for just situations such as these, but nobody ever posts in there...

I'll try to snap some pics of them around where I'm at to add.

Have you guys seen the really old suburbalanche picture? That one is pretty darn funny too. Here you go in case you missed it.

Well that's a O.G. on it. setting up the ground work for this generation and last.
Don't have to worry about it being stolen but I'd bet it's a b##### in parking lots.

Yes, the Quake one was a joke to troll us on this forum (and we all fell for it hard!)

I think it was an April Fools joke, IIRC.

It was fantastic marketing. How long ago did they do that? And people are still talking about it? I would say whatever they paid for those wheels and tires...was worth all the attention they got for marketing.

I was questioning humanity and mankind’s overall intelligence level this morning. I was convinced that we as humans were not that bad until I ran across these monstrosities. WTF! All hope is lost.

Ive seen this one before and it's amazing imo

It is a pretty good rendering, just not a fan of lowered 4x4 vehicles in general. Doin that negates the purpose of why the vehicle was designed and built. I am OK with slamming a 2WD truck or even an AWD car but to do that to a vehicle designed specifically for off road capability just makes me scratch my head. I am fine with whatever anyone does with their vehicle but I do question why waste money on such a folly. Ok, only one with a true slammed Jeep? I guess I can understand the want to be unique. Heck, I am an AMC weirdo and when I take my 70 Javelin to a show I am usually the only one like it there unless it is an all AMC/Mopar show and then sometimes another 70 Javelin will make an appearance.

Different styles can certainly be interesting. We live on the west coast and vacation on Maui every few years. They have a lot of lifted 4x4s with really wide rims. The side walls are really pushed out. I thin it is actually called Hawaiian style. I couldn't find any jeep hawaiian styles, because they all drive Toyotas.

It's actually called "Cali style"... Always has been. But with the Cali-style, it's typically got the ass-end squatting low like a prison bitch open for business.

I'd wave at the orange one if I passed it on the road.

He wouldn't see you over the Honda in front of him...

I didn't see the other similar thread, so I had started one months ago also...

I'm pretty sure the orange and purple ones aren't even possible with a solid front axle. Unless you removed the engine...

Such a negative camber is stupid. Impacts driveability and ruins tire life. Plus it looks ridiculous.

First, your comment almost made me spit out my lunch, with that "open for business" part. Hilarious.

I have lived in California my whole life an never heard or seen that here. If you google Hawaii style, you see a ton of them. If you search California style, don't see any. If it was originally Cali Style, Hawaii has taken it over in strides.

Who ever did it first, I would not want to take credit for it. LOL
