But, I've thought it would be interesting to chop the rear end off a Cherokee and close it up like a crew cab, and add the rear end of a Comanche so it has a decent bed, but that might look like crap. I'd love to see it though, it may look awesome.

Another thought I have is that the chop top reminds me of an Avalanche, and it would be sweet to have it work like one too with a hinged tailgate, removable back glass and make the back portion of the cab onto the back seats, so that when they fold down they create a larger bed and whatever you throw in there doesn't tear up the fabric. Maybe even have a removable cover for the bed too.

I've considered the full chop like the grey pic above but weld the rear doors, close in the seams, and shave the rear door handles. Then you'd have a 2 dr the length of a 4 dr and if you god mad skill you could fab in the 2 dr xj doors. Are 4 dr and 2 dr xj's the same overall length?

By then ill have a computer and be able to post picks and the choped shell and exo will be free to any one who will give her a good hone. People say its like a hummer on sairoids. I hate hearing that!
