Default Custom p/u bed.

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 has converted the Unlimited to a TWO door?

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. But liked the cargo top on the J8 and have seen nice stuff from Gr8tops. Any sugestions ? Feel free to input??

Thanks in advance

Remember the most important part of doing a mod like this is PICTURES... I'm thinking of doing the same thing after seing those J8 pictures.. I'm about to buy another jk and have my eye on a 4dr. Was going to give it to the wife when the 09's came out but,, converting it to a jt is more appealing to me..
So do it and PICTURES,,
Also,, I can put you in touch with a friend in the autobody business up in langhorn,, I dont know if his shop would do it but he would probably know who in the area would,,
Pm me,,

Could you use a 4 dr. soft top without windows in as sort of a temporary, summer top/canopy?

well he bed can be preety easy to do just have the guts to do it.

on the cab issue you can go with a 2 door wrap arround wind jammer and bikini top It might fit the 4 door once you eliminate the rear door.

I thought about this also before but thinking im going to do it when im bored of my jk like in 5 years or so. if I still have it offcourse
