johnny quest Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 what the..... :hmm: so the bed is now partially connected? looks like its well done, but i wouldve done it differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Um............ that ain't good. Building ONTO the bed????? We all know our MJ's don't flex much between bed and cab........ but there IS some movement. That truck is one pot-hole or speed bump away from a whole lot of cracked body filler and ruined paint. Massively bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looks neat. Wondering if he left the bed mounting alone or did any modifying to it. The XJ shows that there can be a successful one piece body, frame but stiffness is designed in from the start. I think it just boils down as to how he joined them.

onlyinajeep726 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 what the..... :hmm: so the bed is now partially connected? looks like its well done, but i wouldve done it differently I agree. I like the idea of it, but I would have moved the bed back or bobbed the front of the bed and extended the cab back. Neat idea, unfavorable execution...

GirsMJ86 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looks awful. I've got nothing more that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looks like it is 2/3 front XJ and 1/2 of an MJ. I would totally dig it if the bed was its own unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah... that looks very sketchy from a durability point of view. Shame that it'll probably end up snapped in half eventually, because someone put a lot of work into that. Good idea, terrible execution. An extended cab MJ done in the normal way is something I'd love to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoore1031 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Photoshop? 97+ conversion on the inside including the door panels but, using pre 97 doors and exterior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 looks suspicious photoshop-esque to me. I see lots of very careful cropping of the photos so we don't see too much. and look at how wide the drivers side B-pillar is compared to the pass side in this shot.

92tanMJ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't think its photoshop I mean its got the 97+ mirrors on it. 97+ motor, 97+ intirior, and the back seat..which just looks like a peice of 1x8 covered in carpet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92tanMJ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 As much as I agree with that the bed looks jank and could be photoshopped. Looking at the glass, more importantly through the glass..it doesnt look photoshopped to me. I honestly don't think some dude from Greece is going to going to spend all of that time photoshoping those windows just to trick and impress a bunch of people in a different country on a facebook group. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hassyfoto Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The extra room is nice. Would I have built it this way, Nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 On a second thought, some of these pictures do look pretty sketchy. On the outside shot where you can see the whole truck, look at the joint between the original cab and the bed. It doesn't reflect any light like the 'paint' around it. I'm saying this is at least partly photoshopped. You'd have to be insane to actually build a vehicle like that. The upper cab chrome trim isn't straight either. Looks like a clone stamp job from that angle. Very clean '97 conversion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyinajeep726 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I don't doubt that this was actually done to a Comanche. If someone took the time to photoshop all of this, then they have no life and plenty of time. Time better spent building an actual extended cab MJ...

The way they joined it is just ugly as sin. I've seen better looking 1 eyed, 12 toed inbred kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
