if i cut the rear inner fender well out of the back? plans are to cleanly comp cut.
also i chopped the top 4 door style. no braces or roll bar lmo i got seat belt and a helmet. I don't wanna be in the middle of a folding taco. i rolled a 6 or 8 in lift ranger 5 times. thanks to god i am her something happened with the seat belt the second roll. well point being there danger rangers and how much can i cut my xj?

myth or truth of the taco?

 

 

I would highly suggest a roll cage if you think rolling it is even a possibility. At the very least a front seat roll cage. This guy flipped a Grand Cherokee, and it buckled up the driver's compartment pretty good.

well what about graceful flops?

 

It's up to you, your life. The roof was not designed to support the full weight of the vehicle. As I said, I would recommend one.

Even in a gentle roll, you risk the chance of encountering a corroded/faulty frame piece. Without a roll cage, your odds of the roof buckling and potentially killing you are unknown.

 

That poor XJ

If I was going to chop a xj and wheel it id put in a cage just because i wouldnt feel safe because if you flip it you will most likely be crushed

 

Even though the rear fenders aren't regarded as a supporting structure, with as much metal as you've cut out of there, I stand by my recommendation of installing at least a basic roll bar.

 

least expensive one? dg? make one?

 

Fabbing is probably the cheapest option.

 

no roof = cage it

 

If you think it's going to flip, you should cage it anyway

 

yeah mang, you gotta put a full cage in it. even a half cage around the driver isn't enough.
if you were in an accident, it will fold possibly trapping you inside, not even a "basic rollbar" will save your ***. or even worse....

so do everyone a favor, cage it, or keep it off the street and don't carry any passengers.
oh, and probably no one will wanna wheel with an unsafe rig either.

seriously though, please do it right.

 

^ Well put, nobody likes reading about jeepers in obituaries.

 

x2!

its a no brainer, bro!!
