Jeep Grand Comanche?

[fatcat0491]

I'm thinking of Buying a Grand cherokee and Adding a Bed to the back

 

Here is a pickture of what i want to do

 

 

hahah what do you think?

 

No hauling would be done it would be pretty much a show / off road truck/suv thing hahha

The ZJ, just like the XJ is unibody. You'll need a cage to keep the thing from folding like a taco if you chop the rear.

[fatcat0491]

I know damn jeeps unibody design, just an idea though :D

[DirtyComanche]

You don't specifically need a cage... Just to reinforce enough other things to make up for it.

You'd be the only one on the road, that's for sure. :cheers:

I like it.

 

Just plate the "frame" to stiffen it.

[aemsee]

Always wanted to do a removeable top on my ZJ like a Blazer, but figured it would cost too much to have someone make a canvas top for it.

Seen a couple like that already.

Personally I'd love to see the ZJ as a 2 door.

If you cut off the back of a WJ, they look like a Dakota pickup... I had a die-cast car and a dremel, kinda disappointed by the outcome of that one.

In my honest opinion, it looks silly. Leave the poor ZJ be... :roll: You see way more Xj's chopped like that because their cheaper to acquire, so I guess people don't feel as bad cutting them up. I'm personally still a fan of stock bodies w/ interior cages. :cheers:

 

BTW check out this forum if your getting serious about it:

http://www.nagca.com/forum/

My screen name over there is "mission-inc".

 

Here are some pictures I found:

 

From Pirate4x4:

 

From Mallcrawlin:

 

I suppose that's enough pictures...? :nuts:

[ORCA]

Someone asked the same question over at NAGCA:

Oh and 1 more picture of an XJ chopped:

[DirtyComanche]

However, they didn't convert those to a 2dr, so they look kinda ghey-sauce.

 

And I extend that opinon to chopped XJs.

[ORCA]

This was the only clear picture of this rig (I think it's kinda what your going after):

 

 

 

Check out the blonde sitting shotgun :brows:

[ORCA]

XJ chopped quite a bit (this guy ended up cutting the entire rear half off and turning into a badass buggy):

 

 

 

 

 

Here's his build thread: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthre ... t=chop+top

[ORCA]

Bottum line, seems like you need endless cash, welding skill, metal, and time to really pull something like this off and be completly successful.

 

Anyone can just cut up a body with a sawzall. :roll:

No jokes about it being one foot in the grave. Way too easy. :D

[Sir Sam]

Oh man.....that one guy chopped up a 5.9!!!!!!!!!

 

I wonder if he still has the factory wheels and wants someone to haul em off for him.....

[shelbyluvv]

I watched the build of the 5.9 over on NAGCA. It was missing the whole left rear 1/4 panel and he replaced it with junkyard parts.

Why don't you just find a Dodge Rampage and convert it to 4x4? :D
