Let's sure hope it stays that way...

Um, well, uh, yeah....

At least he got it to a semi-driveable state?

Dunno, as far as abominations go, it 'taint that bad (upon a cursory inspection). Hell, there's been weirder stuff in the challenge.

There's a fine line between really cool and really not. I think this car sits just slightly to the not side.

I get the feeling that he was on the right track to making a really cool-looking mini moke-like thing, but at some point, things took a ghetto-fabulous turn for the worse.

Hasn't reached 2 sacks? Reserve not met? I'd E36 M3 myself if that hits reserve.

I get lotsa mileage out of this one...

Just a few pages back there was a ratrod ground scraping jeep that didn't look as dumb as that. It could be made kewlish with a bit of work.

I kinda like it.. and I think cleaned up and finished, could be a LOT of fun.. it's the getting to that point that is going to be hard

I think normal wheels and the stock jeep windshield would go a long way to making it much nicer.

I actually like this. I want it or at least want to copy it some day. It was built as a joke but came out pretty freaking cool.

yeah, that Mazda CJ looks pretty good, but I like it in a fun in theory sort of way. That vette/jeep/yukon abomination needs to be nuked from space.

Yep, if the Vette/Jeep wound up more like the Miata/Jeep, it would be on the right track.

Did we ever get the story on the MJ?

I dunno..only thing I hate about it is the "donk" wheels. I'm with xd, I guess..I actually kinda dig the one on the Miata that racinginc215 posted up.

A "J-Bucket"! If I was a hot-rodder, I'd rock it.

It could have been cool but it took a wrong turn somewhere.

I have to get off this board. I'm actually thinking the MJ is not a bad idea.

Almost think he was going for this look. Like that J-Bucket and that land speed version though.

i like where he was going with it. Then it turned tacky and dumb.

What i see is bad but i always have liked the idea of a lowered wrangler.

In my mind i can see a locost frame and all but with a jeep body. I dunno. just me maybe

For the current bid of $1,700 I would sell the wheels and tires to a pimp and make it back into a C4 Corvette.
