Im not going to lie my design for my roll cage was inspired by your xj I am fairly tall so I can't spare any head room and when I saw pics of yours I had the idea to run it through the roof and use the top bars as a roof rack but in the rear in dropping the bars at a angle kinda like a trophy truck

lol, I agree with the shirt... but don;t worry about the pinch welds... just tack weld it up after you are done and use something to seal it up when you are done, then bedliner over that...

I just wanted that extra couple inches of clearance... hell if you cut enough and bump stopped you could fit 35" on 3"... I seem to recall a guy a while back that chopped it up reall nice and could fit 37s at rest on stock suspension... I think he finished at like 3.5" lift and 37s

MATT 87 CHEROKEE

Im running 37s on mine and I think if you trimmed and tubbed out the wells enough you could fit 40s at rest

MATT 87 CHEROKEE

Does your sig mean I have to stop borrowing tools? Lol jk

bamfxj

I like the idea. Mine has a raised look where the roof rack is when you are in the cockpit....kind of like a discovery but cooler and without seat.

That stock? If not a wanna c pics, what year is yours mines a 87 and with the head liner I had to drive with my head crooked without it I still barley fit yet my buddy's 01 I can ride well in even with the liner

bamfxj

Mine is OME 2.5 lift, 1999, I have a dent in the headliner because I'm 6'3", and the leather seats don't slouch like the cloth ones did.
