nice work and a great way to pass summer

 

That is AWESOME lookin'!!! ^5

 

Cant wait to chop mine. Looks great though man. Nice work

 

VERY COOL CHOP PROJECT!!!! I think you really have something there. I think you could make a little coin doing this mod for brother XJ owners. As soon as you come up with an ingenius way to seal up the back of the cockpit, with something removable I would consider doing it. I love the open look but living here in Wa., I like being able to get inside and turn my heater on in the wintertime, too. VERY VERY COOL LOOKING JEEP!!!

 

i have come up with an ingenious way lol^ not sure how well it would work. i got the roll bar from a yj really cheap and with a little shortening(4 inches) the main hoop fits perfectly.

it even allows the back seat to still work. i dont like how the rear supports are so i plan on cutting them off and building a rear cage off of the hoop...
anyway i would assume a yj windjammer would seal off the cab well enough to let the kickass cherokee heat do its job

as far as doing this for other xj owner i dont think i would. i dont like working on other peoples stuff. i dont mind lending a helping hand or loaning out tools but i hate being asked to do something without the person there. and i would never accept money for helping another jeeper

 

thanks man i really like to here that. i am not building this jeep just to be a beat up trail rig. its gonna see lots of offroad but i am also building it to drive around. i want to be able to cruise down to the shore in it and take it to partys and take it camping. i dont want the cops to see it and think "wow thats a death trap im gonna give him a ticket" i kinda want it to look like just another lifted jeep to the average person.

 

wow. this is an awesome looking build

 

looking REAL nice!

 

This chop project inspired me... If I ever get the money (which I think I will). I'm thinking of getting kind of an urban camo paint job on a rig similar to this. Some nicely placed graffiti (still working on how I'd get that bit done...) that doesn't get on the windows/tires/etc. Would actually look pretty slick on a black background. Love the rig so far. That thing looks like it was built to eat rocks. Go get some mother earth on that beastie

 

Wow im so glad you didnt just beat it to death and fixed it up instead, it looks great! I think thats the first time I saw a 2door chopped and I like it.

 

Great job

 

that thing looks good!!

 

some more finished shots of the bumper
we have the roll cage all cut and notched and ready to weld

 

i also started stripping down the dana 44 rear i got. i am going to do the explorer disc brake swap. its also getting an Aussie locker and possibly an after market diff cover for some bling factor.

 

that thing is awesome!!!
