weld the rear doors, rough out, level, then finish the welds so it looks like its a 2 door from the outside. only weld the doors up to the current chop height though. you dont need to weld the whole door. then chop it. wa lah! you have a "2 door" chop.

I bought some parts from a guy that was trying to sell his lifted choptop cherokee for about $3000 which would have been worth it, but it doesn't look like it had any extra supports wouldn't this thing snap in half due to its unibody?

I dont know about snap in half, maybe bend in half...in a very extreme case. if you flexed really hard you would twist the unibody up pretty badly.

That is why there is a cage in theses pics. That compensates for the lack of roof integrity.
