Perhaps a bit of tolerance is in order.
Personally, I think the 2 jeeps are atrocities that should be erased from memory. BUT, as was mentioned, one sold already, which says what? There are people out there that like that kind of stuff. This Gary dude may lie on the far side of the aesthetic spectrum, but his creation SELLS.
Out of the entire population that buys JKs, what is the proportion of true off-road enthusiasts to mall-crawlers? I suspect the majority are into chrome, looking good and more concerned with image than anything else. Just have to accept that this kind of crap exists. The flip side is that more people buying up these atrocities gives us more spare parts from junk yards 10 years from now.

Jesus "Oasis" maybe if I was dieing of thirst in the desert, I might climb in the hunk of crap. I'd probably set it on fire and hope someone saw my signal!!

There was a dealer in Albequerque I stopped at when I was driving across country, they impressed me.... They had a couple of modified Jeeps that were tasteful and reasonably priced. They had a Rubi Unlimited with 3" lift, 35" KM2's, Mopar Rear Tire Carrier/Bumper, and good looking Pro-comp alloys for about $34K sticker price. They had Saharas with smaller lifts and 33's BFG A/T/Pro Comp wheels for about $3K more than a stocker.

So I just built a Sahara on the Jeep website and loaded it up with about every option available including the chrome appliances. It came out to just under $37K before the discounts.
Assuming this Jeep is loaded, you'd be spending about $10K for a lift, tires, wheels, Mopar tubular offroad bumpers, and a painted hardtop.
Good luck with that.
