Have anyone ever chopped their xj and added a toolbox body like on service trucks? Sorta like this.... I'm a thusly considering doing that to my xj

 

just buy a comanche

 

Don't like mjs

 

Would you cut it and make a 2 or 4 dr? Lot of work and a lot harder to do it without a frame
To go off of

 

Once someone likes something, nothing is too hard

 

what the hell you like xjs but not mjs... thats like only eating blue skittles!!!
you can take the box off an mj so it would seam much easyer and more practical... and if yo just want the 4 doors, well thats not much room for a utility box on the back,,, whats your plan?

 

Chop top has been done a ton of times.

Be prepared to add a cage with unibody tie ins.
Otherwise your unibody will begin to fold.

 

WHAT!?!?

OP, why not just add some storage units to your cargo area?

 

Sell your XJ and buy a service truck.

To think someone would want to cut the back off of a Cherokee. What are these people thinking?

 

i would just use a comanche, since they're the exact same from the front seats forward. well, for a 4 door xj anyways.

unless you want the 4 doors, but as mentioned, you won't have much room for the box when you cut.

or if you use a 2 door, those have longer doors, so you will have the room behind the front seats to leave enough metal....

just use a comanche, half your work is done. otherwise, it's months of trial and error, because if you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't have asked.

good luck, and post lots of pictures.

 

chop is a lot of work. i didnt start the chop on mine but i did finish it.

i bought it with body cracks everywhere. The body flexs soooo much. Cage is a must.... aswell as unibody plating and thats just to start.

 

Those seats are so sexy!

 

I love the seats too what they are from?I have to ask whats up with the screw drivers?

 

lol @ hating MJs but liking XJs.

 

seats are out of an acura RSX

screw driver handles are attached to shift rods for my 231/231 doubler

that is an old pic.
