It's getting there. Should be all finished later today or tomorrow. I have two more hoops to do yet. Then fully weld everything, then paint.

 

Nice build. Thinking of getting another xj eventually and chopping the back like that.

 

Thanks man!

Well phase 1 of my cage is complete. Phase 2 will contain windshield area, fender area, and some other minor stuff. Here she is all done for now:









I am extremely excited on how this has turned out!

 

lookin sick

 

Thanks Schatty!

I drove the XJ to church today. Afterwards I went and got some groceries lmfao! There was another XJ there, so I had to park next to it and snap a pic lol.

 

That is one tough looking rig! I am looking forward to seeing finished product.

 

Thanks. Phase 2 will be in a few weeks or so.

 

I put my harness in!!!

 

sick xj, thats almost exactly how i want to chop my 91. got any tips?

 

Did you ever think of putting on some flares? Just for a cleaner look. YOur jeep is pretty clean but that's just something i would consider. I don't really know what i'm talking about though ha. Im just 16 and wishing i had a Jeep.

 

Rig looks beastly!! I think it is def. looking good.. and if I were to do any type of flare on there, it would def. be a tube type... but I don't think it really needs any type of flare...

 

andecase: Thanks man! I just popped out the rear windows and followed those lines with the sawzall. There are some wires that need to be cut when you chop it. I had to run new wire for the tail lights. Not that hard at all. But you must strenthen it back up somehow because the XJ is a unibody and when chopping, you loose a lot of rigidity. My way to strenghten was the cage lol.

cherokee.dreamer: Welcome to the site! Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not a flare guy. Plus, my axles are full width and they would have to be some HUGE flares lol.

bluedragon: Thanks man! Yeah the rear portion of the cage has like a mini rear tube fender. Phase 2 will have tubing running next to the front fenders and down to the stinger. But as far as full tube flares, yeah I am not thinking so lol. I am happy with how this is turning out and thanks again man.

 

ha thanks, finally glad i found a site where i can talk to people about something i like to do!

 

looks great boss

 

Thanks guys
