It hurts seeing this, but it is very instructive: Crawl TV and Bruiser Conversions take a brand new JL Sahara totally apart and cut body and frame in half to make a JLU Crew for the next SEMA!

This year for SEMA, Bruiser Comnversions is building a Jeep JLU Sahara into a "JL Crew," which is essentially an LS swapped JLU extended cab pickup conversion on one ton axles, some crazy tall tires, with a fully wicked suspension. Today is day one of that project. Brace yourselves for some very extreme modifications, coming in future progress videos!
Day 1:


Day 2:


Day 3,4 & 5:


ENJOY!!!

That's not really cutting one in half though. I'm actually cutting 6" out of the middle of my wife's TJ project and welding it back together; narrowed hood, grill, windshield frame/custom glass, custom dash, re-glassing the hardtop.
Hard Rock Crawl project? Show us some pic please.
The cab on the JL hasn't maybe literally been halved but there has been some serious hacking in there! And the frame is definitely cut in half, no discussion there.

I specially liked to see how and where the structural strenght is for the tailgate reinforcement. It wouldn't amaze me companies like Teraflex make a complete replacement for that for added storage racks and so on...
