I think it looks okay. Maybe finish the top corners a little better. Is that glass or plexi? And maybe Herculine the "bed". Other than that it looks pretty good

Oh yeah, I would go with satin black instead of flat but it's up to you.

Nicely done... Just need to put some sharpness and finishing touches... Start by adding details to the corners and apply some floor liners for added style...

Close those seatbelt holes and protect those tail-lites now that the hatch can't. Looks pretty good but the finish work will be the final defining step.

Maybe some flush mount LEDs for tail lights.Three round lights would look sick.

More power too you though. You got one nasty XJ

What are you planning for front fenders?

Thanks for the advice and comments. Seat belt holes are closed up, and considering the led tail lights.

My $.02

I like the stock tail lights on a stock rig.

I like led or some other type of tail lights on a modified rig. (yours)

So my vote is the led tail lights on your rig.

Man I would love to do that to my Jeep and make it a truck with 4 doors and call it a Jeepalanche. I guess I would need a welder and a cutter which I don't have either. Does anyone else have their Jeep finished? Man I would love to see some steps to do this. I got a budy that charges $30 bucks an hour to weld so I could do alot myself and just have him do the welding I guess?
