rolled the jeep, any ideas? im thinking chopping.
I ended up rolling a couple times on the highway, but she still runs just fine. I'd like to chop off the roof, gate, and some fender and convert the doors to half doors. First post, so let me know if I'm in the wrong place. Thanks.

Better do a full cage if you're gonna chop. You'll need to do stiffeners to have proper tie in points. Also, how's the uniframe? Street rig or is it now an off-road only vehicle? There's a LOT of work to do it right, and if you're gonna street it, you need to make sure it's safe.
How did it happen? Everyone OK?

well I'm glad you're alright! IMO go for it as long as you check all your steering, frame, and suspension! Make sure it'll be 100% safe by the time you're done. Cage it and get a new roof. You might have some alignment issues you'll have to mess with a lot. But if it was mine I'd do it. It would be a cool project

I'd be really wry about planning on streeting a rig that's been rolled. Visually the damage doesn't look bad but you never know what could've bent. I would absolutely check your alignment, that will give you a good idea whether or not the frame has been bent.

Replace that mirror. A little hammering and some bondo. O and chip repair on the windshield. Good as new. Lol. But seriously... glad you're OK. And post pics if you do anything to it
