I like the title of this build. Is that on post housing?

AirborneDeth

Nah. I got out of the Army in 2002. It's my casa in NC.

Raptor lined the sides and wheel wells today. I will put another coat on after the top gets painted.

Mr. Pink

lol at the guy saying this is hacked up...


your Jeep looks good, i need to do the cut and fold on my quarters since they are starting to rust under the plastic bumper caps.

AirborneDeth

Especially when he sees what is in store for it.

Im chopping the top and removing the rear seats. I will then weld the rear doors to the body and fill the gaps to the rear doors, and fab up a rear 'cab' shell, to make it more of a pick up.This will be a few months down the road, and I will need another vehicle to DD while this is accomplished.


Please ignore my MS Paint lack of skills...but this is what I am shooting for.

Why not trade it for a commanche? You could have exactly that..alot easier. I vote on chopping the top and keeping the 4 doors. Also. You will have to cage it if you cut the roof out like your wanting. The unibody will start to fold ALOT faster with no cage.

AirborneDeth

Thats a valid point...but where is the fun in that? lol

I would implement a roll bar into the bed that attaches to the frame, along with inside of the cab.

I very much want an MJ, but everyone around here wants way too much for them when they pop up for sale. I would gladly trade for one, as long as it was a 4x4, 4.0, auto(Im through with changing gears, unless I get a V8 sports car), and a short bed.

Also, I would like to build something different myself that makes people think just a little bit.

Here is what a 4 dr cut out would look like... (My jeep)

AirborneDeth

Thats right. I havent seen a 4 door converted like I want to do. I am not saying it hasnt been done, but it would be a pretty rare vehicle, more so than a 4 door chop like your pic. Plus, my way would make it look like a semi-normal truck. I am not a fan of how the 4 door looks once chopped in the 'traditional' sense.

Xj88

Id really like to chop mine to a 4 door then seal up the back, that would be ideal for me.

AirborneDeth

Here is a better pic...but still lacking in the MS Paint department.

AirborneDeth

Not really much to report. Scored some free subs and amp, and I bought a new head unit.

Mr. Pink

i have the same head unit, i love it.

I love how there's a little world with a mini van inside your Jeep.

Very interested to see this when it gets chopped, subbed
