Looks well executed.
That thing is cool! I'm thinking it was for sale on here at one point...
Wow that looks great - usually when you see those type of conversions they really ugly nad not exacuted very well at all.

I've seen that one before too.
Nicely done, but it needs a brow.:D

Sadly, it retains the same pos tailgate/latching mechanism... which is the #1 reason to go with the J truck anyway...

I agree!! Oh to have barn doors out back. Why couldn't Jeep have put them on more than just those rare deliveries? Why couldn't some metal working master create a set to add on?

It kinda reminds me of the early Bronco with 1/2 cab or Scout with 1/2 cab--but of course bigger- like Big Bronco or early Blazer.
Still unique and pretty well executed and finished..:cool:

This picture makes me want to shed a tear. Clean WT cherokees are impossible to find here... :(
But I have to admire the craftsmanship.

To each his own, Elliott has a good point, reminds me of a El Camino, half truck, half car, and good for neither.

All that metal work and you think they could have at least grafted a brow on it. :p
Looks cool either way. I like it.

Hi all
Noticed you have found "The Chief" this guy lives in the town I'm in.
Watched the chief getting cut up, he though about it for a while (was trying to convince him not to) but she now looks awesome in the flesh and has had a new paint job will have to get some pics.
This guy is a jeep nut, in the family he currently has 2x CJ5's(one of these has a Nissan Diesel) 2xJK (one them of diesel) , 1X patriot, 1xXJ , 1x Honcho (401) , 1x Willys MB, 3x SJ's and probaly buying more as I write:thumbsup: .
He also is the Editior for Jeep Action Australia an aussie jeep magazine.
They have a Jeep get together here every easter, they are currently trialing a free online magazine edition you all may want to look at it will give you an idea on how big the Jeep scene is down here!

I think they made a few wagons with barn doors, the ones with windows all the way through. If you find some, you can probably swap.:thumbsup: I've thought about it since my tailgate's more messed up than others.

It kills me to see a 2 door cherokee have it's top cut off when it's in good shape. If you wnat a truck, go buy a truck............

Seen it here some time back. Still Impressive though.
I hope the inner wall on the tailgate is braced. Could use that and a layer of diamond plate to make it a working tailgate. The Waggy/Chero tailgates are weak in that area.
