Well, if it goes too far, you guys that know him best will need to stage an intervention of sorts. I've learned a lot from his posts on here and I don't want to see the quality go downhill.
What kind of clearance gains did the MCE's afford?
Only that it takes away from the classic TJ look that Josh has tried to hang with for so long. Mostly, I'm just giving him shit, but he knows that, lol!
What's next Josh, chop the frame, 7" stretch and comp cut the rear? Lol! Might as well just skip the 35's and go for the big boy tars!
Stock axles, I promise.
One thing I like about what I've put together is that I think it is still pretty accessible for most to figure out.
That is really good looking...how nice that it included the stock inner fender.
He does but it would be the rare offroader that doesn't tag a fender and glass is a bitch when that happens.Jeff has a really good eye.
It looks great Josh! Very clean. What is your Jeep doing clean anyway? I still love 33's on a TJ. Interested to see where this goes with future 35's when the time is right. Interesting route.

I especially like the look from the front. The front fender/flare being flat is classic Jeep. I am still torn on whether to snap up a set.

Good sense of aesthetics, but not always the right materials. My dad has a fiberglass body on his cj5. It looks good where it isn't damaged. But it doesn't die with much grace.
I think for the cost and ease of use aluminum could be a better material choice.For the overlander catergory (which I think he is in) with the occasional light offroading fiberglass perhaps works ok?

I see that, it’s too bad he either didn’t (or didn’t want) a company to back his prototypes with a production line.To be fair, he knows his way around mold making and fiberglass quite well. And most of what we see are his personal prototype projects that aren't really intended to become production pieces.
Works fine, just don't tag it on any immoveable object. TJ hard tops are far tougher than any lay-up you'll see in a fender and look what happens to them.For the overlander catergory (which I think he is in) with the occasional light offroading fiberglass perhaps works ok?
