Looking at possibly chopping the back of my 2dr XJ. Was hoping someone could give my some ideas on how to do it. Im wanting to remove the back seat as well.

 

I've got a chopped 4 door as a daily I could send ya some pics

 

That would be awesome.

 

aren't you the guy running like 36's on stock axles? and now you want to remove 2 of your 6 pillars? time to cage it dude.

 

Don't forget to plate the unirails too. HD Offroad, Ruff Stuff, TnT Customs, etc.

 

I know Ill need a cage and Im running 35s on d30/8.25 combo now. 8.25 has 4.10s in it so Im not using 4wd right now

 

I'll take the cover off tomorrow and post pics of how it was cut. The cage attaches to the halo right above the door trim, then again at the floor just behind the driver and passenger seat, and behind the rear seats, whoever did it pretty much cut on the inside of the outer row of roof ribs and forward to the start of the two layer roof, leaving about 6" behind the windshield and 5" on either side. Cut off everything behind the rear door b pillar and fiberglassed some fancy PVC tubes down at a 45 for visual. But I'll take close up pics tomorrow for ya

 

Awesome thanks man.

 

hope this helps

 

That's awesome, really nice work with the soft top. How's driving that in the winter?

 

Oh wow. Is that soft top custom or sourced from another vehicle?

 

Looks cool how well does the soft top seal?

 

It's totally custom, it seals like factory in the front but leaks a little where it wraps around the down tubes and around the hatch area, you would never know it was any different from stock when driving in the cold weather or rain

 

wait, the bars going back are pvc?

 

Awesome
