Ok I have given up on rear half doors. And after seeing the JT at Camp Jeep and the J8 from Moab, I am ready to go custom. Any one know of a shop that can convert the Unlimited to a TWO door? I have emailed Ok Auto, Jeff Daniels and A to Z. And plan to stop over to Jersey Jeep n Customs.

My plan is to use a p/u bed panel and do away with rear storage tub, a Honda Ridgeline type bed trunk where the floor kicks down for the rear seat and instal a TJ rear seat. And a whole lot of unanswered top questions. Any sugestions ? Feel free to input??

Thanks in advance

I'd contact Burnsville, AEV, and/or Crocker. They all can steer you in teh right direction. Especially AEV. If you really want it done, they might be willing to work with you. Can't hurt, drop them a line.


As for local, you are probably trying to reinvent the wheel here. Since there is obviously some sheetmetal available, these guys have some connections.





while I wait and see! Good luck Andy, you are a braver man then I!

If you really want a pick-up, why not just buy a used Brute? Or even better buy a cheap TJ, and do the Brute conversion? the money you'd spend doing the custom work on the JK, you could have a second toy?

My LJ rubi was set up that way, safari/duster/jammer, but wasnt really big enough. And the Brute has crossed my mind but didnt want rear leafs. And I like the front end look of the JK much better. and its dialied perfectly suspension wise. And I have emailed-called everyone on your list and then some so we'll see. Then there's always a 5.7 hemi to do. If that price that was floating around EJS was accurate I will do it. I was trying to get the quarter panels from the J8 from don-a-vee but they are Egypt made and "cannot" be had.

ok this might sound crazy but how about a shop that makes stretch limos, though a really good bodyman could make that happen. I worked at a bodyshop way back, and the one guy there used a hood panel from a cadilac to replace the side of a custom van, you could never tell it wasnt original he was amazing. I just dont know how you would get a top built for it. Good luck

no leafs, sweet build up! Nice truck for the money! Plenty left over for a hemi upgarde on the JK!

HUNTER

Ive done the multiple car......kayaks.......mountain bike...... thing before, I only got one ass, so the JK needs to do it all! Got a reply from Burnsville, seems they have done this before for Chrysler, funny thing I remember seeing it at Camp Jeep last year and couldnt figure what was different other than the 6.1 HEMI.

That actually looks REALLY awesome. I like that a lot more than I was imagining I would.
