well looking around iv seen a few of them on this site and others but none of them were finished. Im thinking abbout doing this to my 96 but i would like to see one compleated before i start chopping.

 

Look up FullSizeXJ (I think that's it), he's got some pics of one he did....

 

found this dudes

 

You can search www.naxja.org/forum for username Goatman to see more pics and a build thread on the above XJ.

HTH

 

fullsizexj does some nice work from what ive seen. not sure if he's a member on here, but ive seen some of his stuff on pirate. he's from WV.

 

id kinda like to know, why? whats the reason to chop up an xj?

 

Too much cargo room I guess...
They wanted a pick up bed too small to be useful...
They always wanted to know what a mini-Avalanche made by Chrysler looked like...
Boredom...
They wanted to be the first in the neighborhood to own a Chero-Camino...

 

i dont know why i want to i guess, i kinda think it would be nice at the beach or in floride in general if i make the back removable.

 

If I was to chop one it would be a 2 door and more so to make it a Super short MJ. Alot has to do with cutting away the blind spots, and shaving weight(not sure how much) but those are the reasons I've seen for doing it..

 

ohhhh that explains it

 

low center of gravity i guess

 

then why do we lift our jeeps?

 

lift de truck and having the maximum suspension down travel/tire size (god bless the sawzall)....

and you remove the max of the death weigth over the center of gravity...

 

it looks cool when its done and its cheap... thats about the only reasons i can think of. o and its nice to get some air flow and sun.


the guys that close off the rear really are pointless because then you make it more cramped and get more blind spots

 

What are you suppose to do when it rains though? Not all of us have garages,well i do but my dads k5 blazer is in there.
