Sure... while you're at it. why not buy a Corvette and put a 4 cyl Cavalier motor in it.
You are absolutely right; if it's your vehicle you can do whatever you want to it (barring adding a Vulcan to the roof....). But my question is, why would you?
Why would you spend the money on a vehicle that is designed to go off road then completely negate that functionality by lowering it...?
Sounds like a complete waste of money.

Now, i wouldnt want one lowered myself, but it would be a fun project to work on (on someone else's dime) and i wouldnt mind seeing one completed just so i could stare in bemused amazement.
Edit: That pic of the Daytona Wrangler is an April Fools joke from a few years back, i cant believe i am still seeing that come up *L*

That is the whole point. Something different, abnormal, eye catching to a judge. Kinda what car shows are all about. Money wise, it'd be a cheaper beginning project than hacking up a new vette (which gets done a LOT)

There are a lot of Fast & Furious lowrider import fart-can rockets around here, I dont LIKE them, but i can appreciate the time, talent, and effort that goes into them just the same.

There are SEVERAL jacked up 4X4 Corvettes on Blazer chassis in this area, and the Corvette SURE wasn't designed like all that. That doesn't mean they ain't cool, though. It's all in what you like and if somebody wants to put 24s on a Jeep and scrub the ground with it, then more power to um. It's still a Jeep.

As many people in here probably know, one of the stories as to the origin of the name "Jeep" is the derivative of the term "General Purpose Vehicle" to "GP" to "Jeep".
There is NOTHING general purpose about that thing...

Right on. You have to start somewhere. nice to see another northern illinois-er on here. There arent too many of us around.

always nice to ask what one feels like is a legit question .... and catch shit for it. Hate to break the news, but Jeeps have gone mainstream and are not just for smashing big rocks into little ones. I am 6' 8" - 260lbs and wanted a new convertible as my midlife crisis car .... only thing that I can get my big ass body into is the Jeep (and I have always wanted another one (this is my third))
- so when we ask about things like cat-back, Cold Air intakes, leaks in our softtops, noises from who knows where ..... it is frustrating to get the response back of - hey what the hell you expect ... its a freaking jeep.

This is a great forum and us "newbies" can learn a shit load
