That is the cleanest looking chop on the back roof I have ever seen. Got any more pics of what you did? What all did you use back there?

pretty much what I had been thinking about doing with mine for the longest time.... Though, I was gonna just use the whole tailgate as the back, glass and all.... I am starting to think I like it better your way, where you only use the top half and then put in the flat rear window and built a rear bulkhead, since it gives you a larger bed, and the beds aren't that big to begin with.... ahhh decisions decisions.
Who knows, I may still do it with the whole tailgate so that I can leave the extra room in the cab behind the rear seats and so I don't have to fab as many extra parts. Would be nice to still have a place inside the part of the vehicle that is heated where I can keep emergency supplies like blankets and such.

It would be helpful if people would put their vehicle info (lift amount, tire size) when they post pics.

I am in the phoenix area, and I would love to go wheeling again. My last serious offroading trip was up crown king in 2007Also, I would like to make friends with fellow forum members in AZ. I don't have a lot of buddies with 4WD vehicles, so would like to find some wheeling buddies.
