Hey guys planin on doin a chop top on my jeep just wana see what u guys have all done. and any risks to doin it? like uni body and stuuf like that?

 

gotta cage it to cut it beyond that if your asking questions like that your not ready to cut your rig up yet

 

not yet lol not for awhile just for future refrance

 

I dont really have many recent pics of mine, it keeps undergoing little modifications, but heres a few that I do have.

this is about how it looks now, I know, not a good angle

this was when I was mocking up the bars

here it is all ugly lookin

and here is kind of the transition from ugly to not so bad lol

 

oh, and here is a crappy interior shot

 

It's not done yet and The cage will be going in soon. But you get the idea. I also cut the front clip off and I'm narrowing it to make room from the 40's.

 

Some nice work. I would like to cut the top off of mine one of these days.

 

dude your diffs on the wrong side

 

nice chps..id like to do that to mine..i seen one in jersey that had a nice chop when i was workin last year..i like the guys on here that has like a pickup bed with a lil rectangle window in it

 

there was a cage for an xj on craigslist for a chop top here in colorado it was only a hundred bucks just thought id throw that out there for you all

 

lol that would be a great buy but i live in Dease Lake Birtish Columbia way up near the youkon lol thx tho

 

Not even close to correct. Your sawzall has no idea whether or not there's a cage before it rips away. In addition, looks like the two people that posted pics here are dong just fine w/o your methodology.

 

i have trashed two xj's unibodys from lack of cage and a chop top. unibody started cracking all over the place. havent had this prob in the other bazzilion full bodied xj's i have built and owned. i wheel this **** out of my junk, so im sure if your doing light wheeling you can prob get by without a cage. but over time, it will do the same thing as mine.

guess what should have been said was, you should cage your jeep if you are gonna do a chop top to avoid problems down the line. no reason to get all huffy about it.

 

Jeez, thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea a unibody would crack. BTW that is not what I was referring to. Reread the post.

In addition, don't tell me how to receive things. I'm a grown man.

 

Well said.
