hey guys i chopped the rear up behind the rear tire and in the process we ended up getting a hole in the body where it goes up into the body and u can see, we welded what we could be we have to buy some plate and weld it in so it makes the body alot stronger and holds the body from moving back and forth. is all this safe? and do u think i will have problems with the unibody
 
I wouldn't dare chopping without a good roll cage. Unibodys are designed as a "whole", anytine you chop it, your losing support. Our XJs already need as much of that as we can get.
Pics?
 
yeah i know when i went to do it i didnt expect to actuall get into the body and make a hole but i guess i did. i got some plate that im going to weld back in in place of what was there so the body cant shift
