As most of you have seen. I traded the #BlewTJ for the buggy this weekend. I think the buggy is a better fit for me that the full body rig although I did like the TJ.
Buggy is super clean. Fab work is top notch. Tons of over the top finishing touches.
I absolutely cannot stand the color. And it may get some small changes made to the sheet metal because I am not a fan of how it's done either. I'll post some more pics Tuesday. I won't have much time until then unfortunately. My first thoughts were to change it to a FJ hood like Ram-Rod was but I think I'm digging the CJ hood. After all, the first rig I had was a CJ. I also plan to have the computer tuned to wake it up a bit.
