There's a guy on another forum, he's doing something like that to his '98. He took the camper top from a VW and is almost done getting it all installed. He did a lot of fab work, all pretty much himself.

Here's the link:

It's a really good read.

Those were built by a company called Explore (no longer in Business as far as I've heard) they built some XJ's and some ZJ. Very cool and rare.. Nice pics and thanks for sharing..

What is that rowboat doing on top of that XJ? :rofl:

j/k

I dunno...I'd be worried about sacrificing the structural integrity of the unibody by removing the metal roof, unless it was caged.

Kinda glad that is in the Junkyard...

I was thinking the same thing, I for see somthing like that being in a roll over or side impact and the welded seem around the top breaking and the cherokee folding in like a taco... Any one know if that's DOT approved :grin: j/k don't won't to open a can of worms like that.
