But it does have rectangular lights 
A few people were asking about the new Jeep, so here's a couple pictures. Don't be offended if you're a frame hater.
Last year I bought a 93 YJ to replace my XJ. I wanted to do something different, and although its not as family friendly, I thought it was more inline with how I wanted to wheel.
It started out as nothing special, just a 4-banger 5-speed YJ, all stock.
The original plan was to use the 4L and AW4 out of Ryan's(Blkxjkrawler) wrecked Cherokee. But I ran across a wrecked S-10, and used the Chevy 4.3L drivetrain instead. I modified the frame and fabbed brackets for a front 3-link with panhard, and rear upper triangulated 4-link suspension. The lower links are 2" .250 wall dom with Currie joints. I'm using 4" lift TJ coils in the back and 12" FOA res. shocks. The front uses 14" FOA res. coil-overs. Changed out the rear 33 spline Detroit for an ARB(so I could use cutting brakes), and swapped out the Yukon alloys up front for Superior Evo's with CTM's. 17" Raceline Monster Beadlocks and 37" MT/R's. Unfortunately I didn't have alot of time to build my own armor as I was trying to get it ready to attend KOH, so I used Genright corners, stretch tank, and tube fenders. The rockers are made by Savvy. I built the rollcage using 1 3/4" .120 wall dom and 1 1/2" .120 wall dom tubing.
Here's the rear end during mock-up.
Rear axle housing welded out.
Some front frame work.
Cage tacked up.
going back together.
Even Matt showed up to drink beer....I mean help out
Hans, well, being Hans(Xjourney).
Rolled out of the shop for the first test run.
