Default Jk hardtop on xj?

Been thinking about chopping the top on my jeep when I get another vehicle. Been looking at a friends jk hardtop sitting at their house and I got me thinking about trying to get one to fit. I know I would need to stiffen up the unibody but junk it would look cool

why not just make the back part removable like the broncos that can remove their tops it would look a lot cleaner with the top on instead of the jk one but thats just a thought for you to think about

I honestly think anyone trying to cover the chopped back is silly. It will all look like garbage unless tons of fab time went into it.

I agree with it might look silly unless tons of fab went into it but would still look nice once done

This has got to be the most badass chop top I've ever seen on an XJ
