Title: WHAT TO DO .......
Post by: NOS/86 on December 26, 2010, 10:30:55 AM
Well I guess by now everyone has heard about the Aetna trip ...the rescue mission , and Larry backflipping my newest xj "white e " .  Me and white e were just starting to become one . 


I know i'm not on here much but i'd like some opinions .

1.  work with what i have .  (it is wheelable)
2.  cut roof off and cage it . ( sounds cool ) but will get wet and cold with no roof .
3.  find new xj or donor
4.  sell whats left ..many high dollar parts . start over with something else .   

I kinda really would like to do the cut off roof and cage ...but I HATE TO BE WET ! so I don't know what to do .

You can skin the roof to help a little, but you'll still get wet and cold sometimes. Xj rollers are a dime a dozen and parts can be swapped over pretty quickly.

Do like danny at Allsouth did after his roll. Beat it out square, exp cage, and plexi glass to keep out most the weather. _

what are good friends for but to get you of your a$$ to build a better jeep.

I say buy a roller with a straight body and build it the way you want it...

I agree with Billy, I've got another XJ to build for myself, I intend on a cage before it see's a trail. Look for a 2 wheel drive XJ, they are really cheap, and throw your parts on it. {letseat}

If you are gonna keep wheeling it then cage it then plexi glass front windshield and make it removable. If you are gonna drive it on the street just pick up a 2wd and swap the good stuff over and you may end up with a spare engine to stroke {letseat}
