i like doorless and chopped. doorless gives you better views on trails and u get more air, driving on the street people look at your jeep more, and its funny when u see wranglers with tops on and doors on on nice days when your driving a doorless cherokee.personally i like the chop tops. some make them really nice and fab up a soft top and make them look awesome. i love davevmax's rig and hopefully my 2 door will look as good as that when it gets chopped. all depends on whose cutting it and how much time they spend on making it nice.

 

Famous last words!!


Its all personal preference dude. Just like the folks that lift a 2wd truck. Everything done doesen't have to be practical.

 

Again, I don't care for them, Besides I want my things (and myself) protected from the elements. If I wanted something that I couldn't really carry anything with me, I would of just gotten an ATV. Chopped just kills the practicality aspect.

 

That be awesome

 

dave's looks great, but that's because it's a 2 door and looks factory.
but would look silly with the doors off.

now for a hack job 2 or 4 door chop or even just with doors removed looks just pure dumb. even a civic with lambo doors looks better with the doors up.

now if it's a built truggy with full cage and built properly, then they can look pretty good with attention to the rear where the hatch was.

i like shawn's old rig from tri-city, built xj truggy with cj/yj widened rear.

i'm with the op, love the boxy xj, why try to re-invent the wheel...

 

davevmax's xj looks cool but its not what im talking about, he did more of a truck conversion and i dig that. its still quite practical safe and secure

 

But you just saying that goes against your argument that IS chop and a really nice one some people chop to have the truckish look so you saying that just went against what you first said

 

Why take the doors off?

Because they're broke
Because its hot n your AC only pumps air for your tires
Because you can't see the things you need to run over.
Because it makes it look cool

Why chop the top off?

Because a tree fell on it and the roof gets in your way now.
Because you want to put a full roll cage inside but don't have enough headroom with that pesky roof there.
Because your xj cost less than your nephews new bicycle and its fun.

That pretty much sums it up.

 

Hey OP, found your perfect xj

Haahaa!! I needed to laugh. Thanks

 

Jeeps are just cool period. Do what ya do, but do it in a safe way.

I like the no door look. Great on trails.

 

No doors to stick it to the cool kids who buy wranglers to be hardcore and go doorless well you know what i can to im so hc make a vehicle doorless that wasnt supposed to be but the chop top has to be done right i cant decide wether id like it or not on my rig but it is def a head turner

 

I had my doors off today, and I'm covered in mud. While driving home I made a guy in a semi lifted, doorless Wrangler's mouth drop when he saw the XJ. Made me chuckle. Some chops are nice, others aren't. I personally like the look of soft top Cherokees. But it comes down to do whatever you want or like to your Jeep.

 

see were on the same wavelength lol

 

nope i was talking about the folks who chop their tops and have an open roof like wranglers. daves is sealed like a truck cab.
