just make sure you think your cuts through and when you do make sure to measure twice. i was close on all but eyed everything lol im gonna finish cosmetic stuff this week you will like the finished product if you like it now.
my suggestion is to also use a sawzall...with a short metal blade it sliced like hot butter, by the way the lower part of back under window is sealed now, and has more tube work on rear cargo area i boxed it and im goin to have to wait to finish rear part of cage and the exo til next week. ran out of some supplies and gotta buy groceries befor i spend money on jeep. uggh

I really like how you closed in the back underneath the hatch, its genius! When I go to Wyotech this june I think I'm gonna do that.

I don't think so.. since I cut more off the top now the back passengers will be able to sit on the back rest of the seat and watch over the top of the jeep. After the exo roll cage is installed, of course!

I cannot wait to retire my jeep from daily driving and do this to it(unfortunately it will be a long time before that happens)... nice build and they look great(both of them)
