|  First Attempt at altering a chassis/First Jeep!
So i picked this up for nearly nothing with a supershafty bombproof tranny and wraith axles and a bunch of vp parts, he just wasnt into crawling, so i want to chop the top drop it about a 1/2 inch then change the design of the roof + fix the busted off V bars in the window.

I would just chop and slope the roof down then change those hideous shock mounts.

You can also add bends to some bars by just using a pin punch and a hammer to get a small bend.
