Custon Xj Bed Cap For Mj

[87sparTruck]

I don't know if anyone has thought of this before but I just thought of a crazy idea for someone with a 2 door xj donor jeep. Why not turn that cargo bay into a cap. I don't know the exact dimensions of the 2 door xj's but maybe by combining it with another xj 2 or 4 door. Something kind of like the chermanche creations. After seeing some of the mods on here I'm sure someone with a little ingenuity could build one. Any thoughts?

Hmmm. I have 01 4 door XJ I'm parting out. I'm gona take some measurements tomorrow :crossfingers:

Ohh that would be nice. Use a modified XJ hatch on the back too.

i always thought doing a 4 door comanche would be cool. cut the back of the cab from a comaanche and weld it to the back of an xj the do a back half to fit a comanche bed. not sure about dimensions but always something i thought about

That would be very interesting. Almost making it a suburban type truck.

Some people have done it. Look around on jeepforum, there are some builds. Some are done better than others.

...thereby making the MJ not an MJ

 

OR...At the risk of sounding sacriligious...you could get an ACTUAL Suburban.

 

You can modify anything just for the sake of modifying it. Personally I like my little truck to remain as God and Jeep intended it in the overall design.

Yea true that. Trucks are trucks and should look like trucks IMO

[87sparTruck]

Yes I agree trucks should look like trucks but if you wanted a bed cap and wanted to be different here one idea. But honestly for me I probably wouln't use it much if I made it. Having a roll bar is way better.

And that would be a heavy cap with a modified xj hatch on it.

If you want to try something like that, then get a Blazer and S10, or a Ford Explorer, Ranger. But don't go hacking up a MJ.
