Default How much of the body can i cut

I have an 84 2 door cherokee. It's a rust bucket was thinking about choping it up but not sure how much i can cut off it befor its to much. I want to get rid of the doors and hatch. Just seems like to much work to bring this one back to road worthy so trail only it is.

cut as much as you want. add tube to reinforce the areas you cut off.

if you dont want to go crazy, just dont cut past the pinch seam on the rear fenders.. youll split the body there.
