I'd love to sit in the back seat, but I actually have a head, and I'd rather it not be put through that roof. ;D You really don't need a hole in the roof. I don't really need the bleeding face.

Did the quick disco door mod... can't believe that took me 3 years to get around to, & only 45 min.s to do! Lol

I'm totally going to do that. I want my doors off when I'm out crawling.

It's by far the easiest mod I've done! We did both mine & a buddies hinges in about 3 hrs of actual work time!

I also welded the hinge back on the body. These 2 doors get a lot of stress on the factory welds... needless to say mine had seen better days! Better than new now though

When my MJ was a dd/trail rig.. I did the whole removable door thing. Went to Crozet and wheeling with the doors off... came real close to flopping, and realised if I would have flopped rocks could come inside the rig with me real easy.. Needless to say I keep my doors on now... Just my .02

Been there, done that... the V notch on poison spider mesa in the dark, tipped driver side down into the crack, & the wall came inside almost touching my steering wheel! I know what you're saying though it is most definitely dangerous!

Ya I've laid out a ton of designs but I'm liking this one the most so far! The really tricky part will be figuring out how to put a canvas top on the hybrid cage.

I doubt I'll be able to toss the cage in as quick as cory, but if I get cutting as soon as we get back from moab I'm hoping to have it done by tax season (1 or 2, 20 foot sticks at a time! Lol) I'll be down for a while I'm sure!
