So tempting to do this. Just don't know if the small box that you get is worth it...

Been wanting to do it for the longest time, never realized there were as many of them as there are. None done the exact way I have in mind, but still very cool to see. Any more out there that haven't been posted yet?

I built this one several years ago, to close off the cab, I used a YJ rear soft window and button snaps......worked great!

Sold it prior to lifting, the XJ had electrical issues.......if I find more pic's, I'll post............The LOOOOOSER new owner ran around claiming he did all the work, must'a liked the fabrication.

Wow that's the best looking four door chopped I've seen. I'd rather chop a two door but yours look very nicely done.
