DrThunder Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Anyone have any pics of their bed chopped? I want to take 8-12 out of the rear and then weld the lights and such back but wanted to see what it would look like, and i have a short bed tthanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The rear leaf mounts are not to far from the rear in the SWB. Taking 12" out of it will most likely put you in front of the leaf mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrThunder Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 yea thats why i said 8-12, haven't really looked into it a lot, i plan on ending the bed just after the shackle mount, also ii may 4 link it. not sure just yet cause its still my DD for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Not sure where I found these, but I think it said he took 16" out of a long bed. You can see ho wmuch of the frame he had to chop. I'll be doing the same thing with mine in a couple weeks. But I'm cutting off the rear leaf mount too, gonna build a rear crossmember that serves as a bumper and has the leaf spring hangers in it as well.

1999MJ Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 That's my MJ. I only took 8" out of the box and it is a SWB. That's about the most you can take out if you keep the stock shackle location. Just had to trip the rear section of the frame to get the tail gate to open all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrThunder Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 wow that looks awesome, any other pics after paint or maybe a sideshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regger Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Here is a Pic of Rob's old MJ. He basically cut it a few inches back of the lights, and just behind the shackle mount on the frame. HTH Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 That particular Rob's full name is Rob Bryce. Some googling might find some old photos if they are still on the web. It's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Thats actually a 2 door XJ. ;) That it is Twisty, it's perfectly obvious now that you pointed it out. Good eye :cheers: Found it somewhere on the web a while back, and threw it out. Looks pretty good though IMHO....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Image Not Found That very close to what my MJ will look like with the cab extended for 2dr XJ doors. Mine will have a slightly longer cab since I'm keeping the back of the MJ cab and just making the door openings 9" longer. It will have a custom bobbed and dovetailed bed thou. :brows: More like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaterjeep Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I know this is off topic, but there's more pics of that chopped XJ in the random comanches thread in the pub. Sorry, I can't seem to find any pics of a bed bob on my computer for the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Dayem, that's beautiful, proportions look much better. A bit like the old CJ-8 Scramblers w/o the giraffe hauling high cab roof line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
