Yes, Liberty Walk built a widebody kit for the Jeep Wrangler. The same company behind almost every widebody Lamborghini is now into Jeeps, and it's a little weird.
There's literally no connection between their other projects and the SUV-making brand. So either Kato Wataru and his gang have suddenly fallen in love with American 4x4s, or they're just branching into a new, lucrative market. Either way, we're curious to see if this package can break into the saturated Jeep market.
The Wrangler kit is designed differently from all the other packages they sell. It's not low and streamlined but lifted, in the so-called "mall crawler" style with the big wheels and the expensive-looking parts. The name is a little unfair since people still customize their Jeeps to go off-road, but that only happens a few times a year. The rest of the time, it's like using an army knife as a letter opener.
But while it won't look good next to a Supra, the LB-Works Fairline appears to bring new things to the game. We've seen plenty of Jeeps with custom front ends, including ones that have this angry look. They're commonly called skulls or angry bird bumpers. But Liberty Walk decided to make the custom metal the same length as their big fender flares. These are made from carbon fiber and have exposed rivets, leaving you in no doubt that this is a custom build.
The Easter Safari sees a lot of Wranglers with no doors or roof. Following the trend, Liberty Walk designed a bunk of other components. The doors are now just tubular frames, while a military-like cargo net covers the body from windshield to massive spare tire. We're not sure what that protects you against, but it looks cool.
Custom elements with an angular design are then added around the windshield and doors. It's a stealthy tank-like appearance reminiscent of the Warthog from Halo games. And it's not a custom Jeep without some redundant lights.
As with all the other kits they make, the LB-Works Fairline body kit for the Wrangler is expensive. Only the grille and fenders are currently listed at $4,034, though more parts will become available soon.
