Chopped up another XJ

[Fullsizexj]

It is all done, this pick was taken after the paint work, we also shortened the roof rack and put it back on along with LED taillights

we also added a hoop behind the rear window with downbars but by the time we finished it was too dark to bother with pics, Choptopxj will be sending some pics and I will post them up also, he already took it home back to TN

I love the way that looks. Too cool.

This ride is sweet.

Looks a little weird (to me) at the stock height, but will look badass if it gets lifted and otherwise tricked out. Its a hell of a job on the chop though for sure, kudos to you for that. What did you use for the back lower "wall"? Is that a front panel from a pickup bed?

He was working on putting an RE 4.5" lift on it yesterday, The back is the back off a Comanchee pickup

I even kind of like it stock height. It kind of looks like a baja racer. Or something. Maybe I'm making it up. Hell, I don't know.

what kinda money / time goes into that? Good job, excellent.

I spent a total of 2 weeks on it working on it part time between other things, most of it was probably just figuring out how I wanted to do each step, I could probably knock 1 out in about 3 full days now that I have everything figured out, price would depend on how finished they would want it

one thing ive never seen with this kind of 'clean chop' is interior pics.
got any?

looks very, as i said, clean!

nice.

 

[Fullsizexj]

here are some of the interior before it was finished, took the original xj trim and mj trim and grafted them together for the corners, it was not finished when I took these pics

I did not think there would be enough but it has lots of room, head sits about 6" from the glass which was my biggest concern and still has as much height as the xj had before

Richard, he needs to tuck the rear bumper. With the flush mount tail lights it makes it a bit of a diving board.

Otherwise that's the only thing that bugs me about it.

 

[Fullsizexj]

he has a friend that is gonna build him a bumper, I gave him my ideas on it so we will have to see what happens, I have done what I was paid to do so that is where it stands for now

Looks sweet, the roll bar needs to be attached to a set of roof sliders and a interior cage.

Where's the lift pics? Tighten up that rear end and it'll be pretty cool

 

[Fullsizexj]

with the lift on now
