I've seen another one of these before, but what I don't understand is why they wouldn't use a back door from a cherokee instead of 2 front doors

A lot of older crew cabs were built by simply adding an extra set of front doors. It keeps costs down. I thought this build was pretty cool myself.

Using XJ rear doors results in some crazy angles between doors, windows, cab trim, etc, that would make anyone with an appreciation for aesthetics flinch. Efforts to combine the two usually result in a horribly misshapen rear window. I'm too lazy to drag up old posts but the topic gets covered just about any time a "crew cab" MJ shows up... Usually an abandoned project appearing on Craigslist.

Butt fugly maximus. Anything longer than an extended cab (no extra door) I hate. I would like to see an extended cab MJ made from a longbed, keeping the same wheelbase and using the shortbed box. I think that would be sharp and super useful too. Anyone with computer graphics skills that can whip one up? Anyone? Minuit? :yes:

Yup Totally... I had plans to do just that but With the promise of the Jeep pickup for 18 I will

wait and see if its what I am hoping for and if not then back to cutting up a Nice MJ/XJ for a hybrid cab and a half MJ

98 Dakota standard cab wheelbase = 111.9"

Stretched cab = 131" wheelbase

 

Think an extended cab Comanche would need a wheelbase longer than 120"?
