The hardest part is deciding if I want to go with off road only mods or try to keep it street legal...if its not street legal then I wont care what it looks like really as long as it wheels good

this is what i thought you were going for, except thered be a windshield, that would obviously need a cage
but this is the design that i wanted and one of my favorite xj's, he has a cage, but wouldnt this be supportive enough without a cage?

I have a friend that chopped the rear on his xj and doesn't currently have a cage. He wheels the **** out of it and it still seems pretty straight. But he does have stupid luck with his jeep and it's a beater also...
But i agree with everyone else who's posted.
