while XJs tend to get converted for wheeling reasons.

That makes a lot of sense, but doesn't explain the Avalanche, the Baja, or the Explorer pickup - those vehicles never see the trail, and the bed is still useless  :rotfl:

The Cadillac EXT and the Lincoln Mark LT were the ones that really blew my mind. The craziest thing is they actually sold quite a few of them....of course I never thought I would live to see the day that Toyota has a NASCAR team and Hyundai has a 50,000 dolla v8 luxury car....sign of the times I guess.

Yeah, I checked that out. They did good work. I liked the black version of it better though.

I have always wanted to have a four door commanche.  I would want a bigger bed than that Cherokee.  Actually I think it would be really cool to figure out a way to make four door J series truck.

I was going to take a 2dr XJ and graft up to the B pillar from it to the front of an MJ. The cabs are too dang small for a 6 foot tall, 300 lb guy like me!

that shortened concorde is forsale on the bay site. go check it out. alot of pictures with it on there.

Its available for a very reasonable price, but the listing I saw had only one picture posted.  I would really love to see more, including what they did with the interior.

Thanks and have an egg! 

I was really interested to see what they did in the back seat area.

NOPE!  That 4 Door J truck was a totally custom build combining a Wagoneer Bod and rear of a J-cab.  THere are actually several examples of this... one was even on the last Cabelas vehicle "vote" for coolness! 

I did one of these myself and doing another one, however, I may use a 2 door Chero body rear... ala avalanche, etc...

Have a great weekend!

I didn't think that was correct. I looked it up and couldn't find any info on a 4 door J Truck.
