I saw that Scott Grubb's JL was for sale not too long ago. I wonder if this is his new ride?
Seriously though, Wide Open Designs for the win!

This is exactly why I’m selling my LJ! I need that!
actually, I need more money and then, I need that!

OP
I would like a ball park cost for a build like this. I'm guessing $60K or more but I have no idea.
My instinct says that a ground-up turn-key build on a tube chassis like this is well north of $100k.
In the case of Scott Grubb's build, I wanna say he started with a brand new JL 2 door Sport, then built a rock bouncer chassis to mate to. It was one of the first 2 door JL's that I remember seeing when they first hit the market. They even kept a lot of the dash intact which turned our really cool! The last I saw this was for sale, priced at $115k.

Is it for sale?! He beats the snot out of that orange JL and it just keeps on going!
I told @Wildman that another company built the 5.9 TJ I’ve recently been playing with, but did some research and I’m fairly sure it was WOD.
I would say something like he posted above pushes 6 figures or beyond. What you see is only a resemblance of what it originally was .
While they look like they would drive “perfect”, some are hardly streetable, have lots of roll and oversteer, and are fairly loud inside....at the same time off road, they are near unstoppable.
