It's been done. Don't know if he did to his, but I know he would do it and take pictures just to prove you wrong.

Why would anyone do double the work to do that it would be a lot easier to just build the frame and bolt it to the unibody to cut the frame away from the body is a waste of time unless you plan on making a show piece and want a clean look

Unless the frame will be where the unirails are, in which case it's a clearance issue.

Why the hell wouldn't you in either case? Why would you build a complete frame and leave the unibody frame rails?

You do realize thats how companies like art Morrison a well known chassis builder make frames for mustangs camaros and all other unibody cars the make them to bolt up to the existing frame rails

Put on my spare tire. I finally found what was causing a slow leak in the current one. Time to try to put a plug in it. Since my spare is brand new my jeep drifts to the right. Sickkk.. it drifted to the left before haha
