chop tops

just so people understand why some do it

--Richard aka "Goatman"

My goal was to create more rear clearance, to eliminate the potential for rock damage to the rear side windows, roof line, and D pillar. I built my rear bumper and the rear floor so a 37" tire could lay flat (which you couldn't fit inside) and made a custom aluminum storage box to go over the tire. If needed, I can strap stuff down on top of the storage box. I don't want to steal this thread, this is a nice build going so far, but here's a pic of my rear storage.

Good Logic: Get all materials first (such as thin sheet metal to fix up cuts, roll cage), then chop and add new materials.

Bad Logic: Chop now, fix later.

I chose Bad logic. Its been 2 years, and I have not yet been able to touch up, bondo, ect....

If I could go back, I would choose good logic; however, 85% of the time I learn from trial and error. People inquire about my actions from time to time just to learn from my mistakes. I don't mind.

Good logic = very happy in long run
Bad logic= happy too; there is just some regret

Did you ever consider that maybe he was helping?

If somebody stops you on the street and asks you for directions, do you tell them a round-about, ass backwards, route that will add 9 extra days to their trip? No, you tell them the quickest way to get there.

Sure, but do you think that's it's kind of an A-hole thing to tell a guy asking for directions to go to the nearest gas station and buy a map?

Nice try, but it's more like pointing out the map that's sitting on his passenger seat, free of charge. Somebody has even written clear cut directions on how to read the map.

Who would do such a thing as make directions for using a map?

Somebody with WAAAAY too much time on their hands! Maybe they should make a site where you can search for modified XJ pics while they're at it!!
