i actually have this planned for later this summer after the frame stiffeners, and cage. i like how this guy did his and will be copying parts of it. tieing the cage into the interior sheetmetal, the half doors, but adding a MJ tailgate.

i have been thinking about doing something similar on my cherokee. i want to leave the roof and take out both side windows then cut the back section out where the top and bottom of the side windows would be. then make a tailgate for the rear and a roll cage that bolts to the roof for support. the soft top would be custom side and rear windows that zip down, like the cloth doors for a wrangler.
