Anyone been following the TJ buildup? Ian is nuts! What a great idea. Take a wrecked TJ, throw in a Hemi and everything else under the sun. Make it street legal, affordable, and one hell of a beast!

I was impressed at least.

Its a great build. I would like to see the same with a LJ. Jeep should still be making the LJ or at least the new J8

If thats the right show, He picked that TJ up from Daveys Jeeps, it about 4 miles from me. Great guy.

It's too bad that Jessie is gone....

But that build up is one my fav. Can't wait to see the crazy hyrbid TJ/Scrambler.

Yea, I've been following that build. One thing I don't like about Xtreme is they don't keep current, they jump around projects just too much. I want to see a build from beginning to end, but it rarely happens.

Not everyone is as enthusiastic about Jeep builds like we are. Almost all of the shows do that. But xtreme should stick with it a bit more until something goes to paint or powder coat or whatever.

What happened to Jessie? Haven't seen her on the show when they are doing work, but she is still in small segments and announcing what is next. She was the best part of the show - besides the crazy rides they build.

She has been gone for awile. She decided to move on to fabrication or something. She is still doing guest spots and I guess other shows too. She has a website and there is stuff about why she left all over the internet. I heard she was having back problems too. Who knows, it sucks though. She is one bad chic!

AFAIK it is, I am pretty sure they mentioned that name.

Ian seems like a putz, but that could just be my read on him and I could be wrong.

I love the TJ though. They should raffle that off to me.

I miss Jessie, but the better half doesnt. For some reason that girl intimidated her.
