dfreeman616 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 seen it before in pics, wouldn't mind getting close to see how they did it...but i agree that it's too long. i'm kicking around doing something like that with my long bed and the parts xj i have, except chopping some of the bed off the front. i'd still have a bit of bed that would probably suit me fine, but i'd also get 3 more seats, which will probably come in handy in a few years...

Kenosha Warrior Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 set it up with a shortbed instead of a longbed and it would be killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackel18 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 also add a small lift and some bigger meats :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenlow12 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 yeah now that you mention it, it would be awesome with a short bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhardzj Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'd say short bed with 6-8" cut off the front of the bed to keep the wheelbase more proportional to the track width. It would look very good like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 The idea is neat, but dang, that's ugly! Too long! A short bobbed bed'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnuck Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I want to graft the front 1/2 of the XJ 2dr (up to the B pillar) I have onto an MJ, but lack time and $$$. (gotta sell the '86 MJ longbox I was going to do that with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 there was a long bed chopped in the front with a cap dropped in like i was talking about on ebay a few months back. i've seen pictures of all sorts of combos, and that's still the one i like the most. it was red, and it had a lift and larger tires. i have pics on my home computer, i'll throw em up later.

86FUBAR Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 that thing is awsome , i want one but it does seem long but a good sized lift and some 33s or 35 it would be more likeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 can't find quite what i was looking for, but here's another one i found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhardzj Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 can't find quite what i was looking for, but here's another one i found Exactly how I would build one, but maybe about 2" more in front of the rear wheels for the bed. That one looks GOOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DansGreyMj Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 it's a piece. at least re-do the door to cover the old wheel-well spot.... didnt the guy want like 12k and it still needed a ton of work. i thought it was cool when i first saw it, then i saw it on ebay and it looked like crap especially since he just threw in an xj rear door.

dfreeman616 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 i don't remember it needing more work, and the door does seem a bit unfinished, but still not bad. give a good idea of some proportions at least. it would be hard to make the bed any longer in front and keep full rear doors. could always chop and make them shorter, but then, there's already not much room for legs in the back of an xj, and i can't imagine there's much more room in that truck.

jared Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 i say a good mix is in the middle of the original pic and the halfassed one a few posts aboue the first one is Waaaaaay to long, and the second one is a bit too short for all the effort. it would need a littlle more room in the cab behind the rear seats, but the super short bed like that, so only adding about 6'' to the length of the second one, and then fixing the rear door to make it look good.

gogetemturbo Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If I remember right, the red one a few posts up, the truck was a Long Bed and kept the rear wheels in exactly the same spot and grafted in the rear doors. I like that truck a lot, if I were to build it I'd prolly ad 6" in front of the wheels wells. And I personally don't care about the rear door being stock, I still think it looks really good. A full door would be optimal, but that would be a lot more work. The Cab of the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG one looked really good though...minus the damn visor...

dfreeman616 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 this one had originally been a comanche, the bed is bobbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 this one had originally been a comanche, the bed is bobbed. well that settles it. tatersalad ain't leaving, and I'm thinking it needs a LS1 :brows: like the one I can get for $500 (complete 97 camaro 100,000 miles) running and driving. hmm... and I'm gettin a free cherokee body here soon.... guys, I hate to say it, but I think I have another project coming this winter...wait, I love to say that!
