has anyone ever done something like this with a grand cherokee and is it even possible due to the lack of a "real" frame?. ive done alot of searching and cant find anything on it and i REALLY wanna do this soon
Not to be a complete dick but hey dip shit thats a xj=uni-body Hmmm zj=uni-body. no frame
Well to not continue the bitch fest going on. You'd obviously have to reinforce it where you cut it apart. In my personal experience with a 1990 camaro that my friends and I cut the roof off of and then drove around, the body flexed like crazy just with the simple loss of support between the A and B pillars. So some cross tubing would be in order, maybe building an internal cage to add some strength, but i swear i've seen something else similar to this before.

shit that would work great. i wonder what it would be like to drive that from DE to Ohio lol. legal? lol
It says clear title. Bring a pry bar and run it during the day so you don't have to worry about the lights. Bill of sale and title in hand, should be no issues.
fly there, drive back. would be fun. but long with no driving lights. or.......i could buy some cheap autozone square housings and bolt then to the bumper or something and run the bulbs there lol.
There aren't any wrecking yards around your state that will sell you half a body? Shit my dad would sell someone half a body of a jeep easily. Just give me a half hour and a sawzall and come back to pick it up with a trailer. I've actually got a few of these laying around that there is nothing left of really since i've sold most of the inner and outer parts off. Maybe i could do this but just set the half a body on top of a cut up trailer frame i got at the yard too. That would make it even easier.
How about an MJ bed with a topper on it?
Not sure I would build a trailer out of a Grand Cherokee or XJ body. JMHO
i just want to do it because its different. idc really if anyone thinks its dumb. i just like the idea. it would make a good sleeper. not an offroad trailer
To make it a sleeper you would have to go all the way up 2 the b pillar. If you made it so the rear doors still worked it would be really cool but you would have to be realy good with metal fab to make it look worth a shit.

thats what i want to do. i have a friend that is a master werlder and VERY good working with metal.
I'd rather buy a pop-up tent trailer.
wheres the fun in that lol
I figure if I were to buy a ZJ just to cut it in half and tow behind another ZJ, I might as well put it on some 60's and big ass tires and wheel the snot out of it.
