Default Project JK Brute
I starting cutting away at my 4 Door JK body, in the idea to make a Jk Brute. This is my inspiration, and what I hope the final looks like, with some minor changes like a longer bed:

Nice start. I am liking these JK Brute builds. It's something different from the 'norm!

Progress so far. Made a rear bed wall. I have to make one also for the rear of the cab, since the bed and cab are two separate parts.

Stopping here for tonight. I modified the front bumper like igotit did on his JK.

Also removed the plastic sliders. Tomorrow I will start to remove the flares from the rear half to use on the bed.

Got some new tires for the Brute. I felt that the Flat Irons were too big and wide, and I like the looks of these.
