My TJ is under the knife right now... I am trying to stay as much Jeep body as possible, but I had to trim the back of the body and I took the fenders completely off.  I'll have tube/flat fenders and tube sidesteps... and pretty much the only thing left as a Jeep is the portion of the body... everything else is going to be swapped or cut out and won't be Jeep anymore.

I dunno... I absolutely love the tube buggies, but I love the look of a Jeep body as well...


What are you thinking of doing?  What kind of Jeep?  Are you building a completely new rig altogether?

the trend in the magazines these days is full tube buggies. built from scratch. im just curious what poeple think of either style.
i prefer a jeep body. of course some tubing will make its way onto every jeep. but i like the way my YJ looks... even the square headlights;)
the tube buggies have a lot of great ideas to them, but id still take the jeep body.
whats everyone elses thoughts?

x 2  I love the look of a Jeep body, and it may be the only thing Jeep left on there, but it's what I love.  My vote is a custom rig with a Jeep body.

You have a YJ?  One of my favorite Evolution builds was the old Rocky Mountain YJ.  Here's some inspiration for ya...
