As the title says Im thinkin bout selling Cherokee to get a comanche. Should I do that? or make a chop top out of my 2 door? Please Chime in.

 

My opinion, it shouldn't matter what we think. What matters is your opinion. Don't let us decide what u should or shouldn't do.

 

If you can find a commanche in good shape 4x4 do it you can always buy the cherokee later. commances are hard to come by these days

 

Do you have your own fab tools or know of someone that can help you reinforce the xj if you chop the top?

 

Get a Comanche

If sleeping arrangements weren't important to me.. i'd build a MJ truggy

 

Totally different builds for me and I've been considering the same thing.

I've chopped a 2 door and will be doing my 4 door this spring. Only reason I'm chopping it is for a removable roof with the rear open and I want to keep my rear seat. It's almost entirely cosmetic for me and I think the people that do chops turn the rear into a bed are retarded, especially when they seal off the rear and turn it into a sealed cab. At best you get 4 feet or so out of a 2 door. What the hell do you need a 4 foot bed for?

I've been thinking about getting rid of the XJ for an MJ but only because I want to shorten the wheel base and run a flat bed. It's a lot easier to run bigger tires without the body work on an MJ if you get rid of a bed than it is on an XJ. Granted a 2 door is easier than a 4 door since you don't have to contend with the rear door but still.

 

If you can find a mj not rusted to hell and back buy it.Most i have seen lately are 2wd 4 cylinder 5 speeds tho.But all of that can be fixed easy.

 

That's how they all are around here and probably the biggest reason I haven't picked one up.
