It can still be a daily driver. I plan on it with my WJ once it is finished. And I have an 09 Nissan that I'll probably end up selling just because I know I'm gonna want to drive my WJ everywhere. Go for it. You won't regret it especially if its done right. Just make sure make sure you plan it instead of having to use 20 tubes of calking and drywall screws. LOL. I'll have more pics to come on mine in the next couple of days. Forum is called Chop That Top.Originally Posted by 1ABrian

Thats the name. Again, though its probably good stuff, I dont kbow what Id cover it with and can figure out a lot better ways to spend $100. Though Im going for a utilitarian look wrinkled foil and tape just doesnt sound good to me, and Id have to cover it up. Guess I have to wait tor spring and rattlecan in some bedliner or undercoating (which are suprisingly close in resemblance if you get them mixed up, but undercoating is half the price!)

Yeah, I don't think that'd be the answer to your issue. Like I said, I've never had a moisture issue in my Jeep. Granted, it hasn't had carpet in it in 7 years.

Not sure about the areas you guys live in, but I've had atleast 3 vehicles (cars and truck) with no headliner that I drove all year round and never had much of a condensation issue.. Yes the inside would be a little wet, and may drip a couple times in some areas if it collected together, but was never too bad (not like the leaking sunroof in my winterbeater S10 anyways lol).

OK, you didn't look very close I guess. There are pictures of the motor mounted to the frame before I set the body (see picture below). With a 350 V8 I wanted a frame. It will hold up better than any stiffners. There are 8 body mounts. I have taken great care to make sure this will hold. And just to set your mind at ease, This will be the 3rd xj that we have set on a Scout II frame (see link to youtube). They work. The other two are VERY capable rigs that handle Clayton OK and some of the hardest trails you can think of. There will be a FULL cage before this thing gets wheeled as stated in my build thread if you had read it. Here is the first of the three in Clayton ok. Watch and learn. lol
