There are very few maybe 3 or 4 XK owners that wheel the XK hard enough to consider the benefits of a SFA or even live near trails that would require this mod. The XK can do things with just a 2" lift that 90% of the XK owners won't even try and good amount of wrangler owners won't either LOL. So you throw a 4" lift with some JBA parts up front and some 33" tires and the rig is more capable then almost anyone will dare attempt as well as stated already even have access to trails that could stop this combination. So IMO the money is diffidently better spent on some other mod to the XK then a SFA. Now the cool factor you can't deny but a SFA is really not hard even my off road shop has a place to send the computer to have it reprogrammed for this mod. So for the reasons I already stated is probably why no one has done this yet, and I'm guessing no one really will either. Because when a XK owner really gets extreme enough to wheel that hard they usually just go by a JK. IMO

The sticker says jeep off road research vehicle and has Michigan plates. That might be owned by jeep.:icon_confused: I don't recognize it and I know most the XK's that are wheeled like that. Do you have any info on that XK?

Depends on who gave it that title though... its in Jeep5253's photobucket account.

Maybe its the Superlift Jeep Engineers? I noticed the paint job and roof rack are the same as the XK featured on the Superlift website.... pretty sure there aren't two jeeps like that.

It was posted on the forum a few years ago. One of the Jeep engineers drove it on the Rubicon.

Yup sure does look the same I doubt another jeep has that same paint job thats a pretty unique paint job.

I copied those pics from the Jeep engineers photo album. He was on a live web chat a few years ago.

Some pretty awesome shots looks like fun. It proves my point I was making though.

I wonder who has their hands on that thing now.... would like to see if they wheeled it like that with the superlift installed rangehat:

Here is the Q/A session (8-29-2007) about the Commander that the jeep engineers hosted on jeepforum.com (this is where I got the pics way back then)---> http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f144/08-29-q-session-commander-456042/

Man that link is some interesting reading. The axle is full floating on the 8.25 axle for both drive systems http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f144/08-29-q-session-commander-456042/index2.html#post4149577
