Seen a lot of people doing it - some for comps and some not.
just wondering why people are doing it.
Is it for looks
to extend the wb for tyres
suspension fitment. ie coilovers/shocks centred in rear similar to lj xtreems.
minimising panel damage or removing panel damage.

U SUK Zook Built and Sold.
New rig is 97 80 DX. 2" list 33s
1. helps with articulation as there is less to hit on
2. looks tuff
3. minimises panel damage
4. helps fit bigger tyres
5. and did i mention it looks tuff
89 lux 2bl 4inch spring 35's etc still slow as a snail
Well the next rig I get I would really love to keep the rear intact, but if I want tires larger then 33’s I think the wheel base will need to be extended so much so that the rear will need to come off.
If you cut the rear you really make it a lot easier to work on as well. Think of setting up some custom shock mounts when the rear has been removed compared to intact.
Also to move the diff back more then three inchs you have to relocate the fuel tank.
Lastly search as this topic was flogged a while back. Everyone seemed to decide flat trays are Grimace, but now every one seems to be getting one. A bit like mullets ay.

then i shared my bed with 2 second tom... [/quote]
if you want a long wheel base just get a long wheel base to start with just like i did (i got 2 actually one of them i cant use as its got no numbers on it {was like it when i got it and i know it sounds and looks suss} but i might be willing to part with it for the right money)

No suss is suggesting that as the numbers on the sj413 are on the firewall (unlike the 1lt's) to cut out the firewall and weld a new one in it's place, grind the edges, smooth over the welds and surrounding are with 2mm of bog to build up a flat surface and respray

Suzuki, Jeep & Toyota Soft tops with welded seams for SALE (PM me)
I cut mine couse the rear of the tub was getting too hard to fix(multipul rollovers) and it was different to do then. If I started again Id dove tail one to be different.
After my ute is done id like to start a full bodied sierra similar to redzooks old red rig, hardtop, 33's, exo'd, but have the rear cut in on an angle.
im gonna leave my rear on, i figure the more tidy it looks, the less hassle i may have with cops & rta, etc: Eventually it may come off, but it looks so pretty now...Just having arches & flares cut to suit tyres.

Does indeed look nice and tidy!
and u can go camping with out everything getting muddy...
just standard zook leafs in front, the rears are new 1" lifted, but am as yet undecided on what to do with them. May just lose a couple, or go elliptic rear. If the rear does come off, it will become a buggy of sort, with coilovers in rear. The cars been off the road for over a year, fixing things, will be out & about within a couple of weeks im hoping. Thinking of a false floor over the rear, to sleep on, with storge underneat it, & have even less mud to contend with yet again!! Thats assuming i can remember where to find anywhere with either camping or mud or both.
