i was thinking about trying to lengthen the wheelbase on my xj 3-4" or so for better climbing ability. while i like the 101" wheelbase more than the shorter tj wheelbase, i thought a few extra inches couldn't hurt. has anyone ever tried this? can it be done without hacking up the back end of an xj? i saw a pic in an old JP article that said some guy's xj, (with the back chopped off behind the rear set of doors, if that matters), had like a 106" wheelbase and from the pic it didn't look like he chopped up much of the rear quarter panel, if any. though i will admit it was kinda hard to tell from the angle of the pic, it looked as though he left the rear quarter panel relatively intact.
searched a little on this topic but didn't find anything in the first 4 pages. maybe this isn't even a worthwhile idea, just a thought i was tossing around. feel free to condemn me to he!! if this is a dumb idea.
