I love low slung rigs. I decided the next one I build will be minimal lift with max clearance and travel. If you can keep the center of gravity low and still allow it to flex you can go just about anywhere.

here is my 98 XJ, couldnt find pics of the 94...I know there are somewhere, will keep looking. I built most of the stuff on this, including the roof rack (free steel...cause I know someone will ask why its square tubing) and hydraulic steering setup.

Did you have that when you were here in Utah? Perfect Moab crawler. That's one you wouldn't have to worry about banging up.

That's exactly why I had it! It made a few trips to Moab and I loved the fact that if I smashed it on something it didn't matter. I had rocker guards on it for a while too, just not in these pics

I've never been to Moab, but would love to one day. Looks like alot of fun. My brother-in-law used to have a crawler and went down all the time. He used to be part owner of Sky's Extreme in Clearfield. I made it out to Little Moab with him once. It was unbelievable what that beast could do.
