Xj dove TAIL build thread?
I have done the search. Does anyone have a link to a build thread where they Dovetail the rear (seems like I shouldn't have to put "the rear" but some people do the front and say dove tail) with pics, that the work,...I find a lot of discussion on people starting to do it and then go a different direction. Or old threads that the pics don't work on.

Not sure the one you are looking for, but the YouTube channel bleepin jeep just finished a dovetail build. Granted it's pretty hardcore, but it was pretty cool following the process.

that is an OLD pirate build thread. I don't think I've ever seen another full body dove on a Cherokee, he even kept the glass. There isn't going to be a build thread or "step by step" for something like that. It's pretty simple though
remove all interior panels
cut out the wheel wells
measure in how far you want to dove
bust out the sharpie and draw some lines
measure again
cut some triangles!
bend metal, secure metal, fill in the gaps
