I am not going to get into with you because I will wheeling with you soon , but money is not so much the issue I have . I know private builds that cost a lot but in that it was not done in 2 weeks and have a lot of resources a shop has
How many builds you seen come out of shops in 2 weeks completely done , where it takes the average guy a few years to get done
If you ask me who has the best rig it would be the guy who actully built his jeep on his own

I don't take things personally I don't really care its an chunk of steel with wheels lol a fun chunk of steel but still just a object.
Because we disagree on this point isn't a bad thing lol different strokes for different folks, but a build is a build regardless of who built it.
Don't get me wrong there are some of the builds I do laugh about because they will never use it and yet it looks to be built to take on the end of world scenario....I see a lot of guys build em and never use them to the fullest, heck give me those parts I'll beat on em....

Since we were mentioned twice, once for our built rigs in general and once for our ABADDON build, I will chime in.
To an enthusiast, it will forever be a moving target. "Best looking" is about as tough a question as it gets.
My own JK for example will never be finished. It was born a 2WD JK and now is now running 2.5 IBP coilovers, front Currie 60 and rear Currie 70, supercharged, 40" Maxxis Trepadors, and more. It's been tested everywhere from the Hammers to the Rubicon to Moab to Florida. It has ALWAYS gotten me home.
But, it will never be done. It's currently being given a major operation right now transforming it again in time for Easter Jeep Safari, and I thought I had it where I wanted it.
Do this, and I have challenged people to do it in the past: walk outside and hug your Jeep. Log off from the forum, shut down your PC, and leave politics, forum drama, and keyboard warriors behind for an evening. Remember why you bought your Jeep in the first place. The adventure, excitement, and camaraderie that come with owning a Jeep should be enough. That's what Jeeping is about. Not what forum bashes what forum, what stickers you run, or who gave you lip in a thread 4 states away and has a completely different build style.
Don't worry about who has the best looking, best performing, best this, and best that. You know who has the best? You do. I do. We all do. Why? We have the vehicles that for decades have brought people together in a way no other car or truck has.
Go hug your Jeep. It's good enough.

Yep small world we all wheel the same trails.

Best built for what terrain or use? While EV01 is really cool I personally favor the rigs that have struck the balance between weekend warrior and daily driver. At the end of the day when everything is said and done, the rig that looks and performs exactly the way the owner wants it to for the price they were willing to pay is the best built JK. Ask the owners of some of those "dream builds" over a beer what they would do differently on their next build, their answers might surprise you.
