Very interesting concept. I like it. Is it gonna be removable? Totally enclosed? Are you gonna reinforce the slanted portion? Does the jeep have any structural support now that you chopped it?

It's actually gonna be welded to the body, and as soon as it's done I plan to make a roll cage for support

Or at least make it openable. Kind of like a hatch back or like the humvees.

Cool, but a lot more work...I'm a fan of keep it simple

What is the benefit of cutting the hatch off and replacing it with sheet metal at a slant?

Wasn't really the plan when I cut it off.... planned to move the hatch up to then back seats and have a small bed in the back. But the I figured I'd do something Completely different

If the rollcage is interior and not exo, youll want to do that first

looking good man, any updates? I did this on my 94 zj and welded it too the body. I used square tube to support it around the hatch. if you have any questions feel free to ask. took the taillights out so I didnt smash them on the trail. |

Hell yeah looks great man.
