Full Chop Top Convertible Cherokee
I have had my XJ 2wd ( I KNOW!!) for 8 years now...im getting a new Grand Cherokee soon.
I found out that my XJ is only worth 3500 trade in value...so i thought wy not have a fun beach car ( i live in california)... so i wanted to see what it would look like if i took off the WHOLE top...like the old 60's/70's blazers. Maybe add a roll cage for saftey. all i have been seeing is the back portion of the XJs off.
Does anyone have any pics of these??
thanks... i did a photoshop of what i was looking for..but i looked kinda wierd.

Your going to need it for more than safety. That roof you want to get rid of is pretty important to the rigidity of your xj. If you really want to do this start thinking full cage, just to keep it together.

That is sexy. Tires are a little small for that lift, but still sexy.

You should try chopping a Comanche. Looks the same as a chopped XJ in the end, and its a little safer.

somebody comes out on the top end of that deal, and even if it is 2WD, i think its whoever gets to park the XJ at home.
