Throw in some backwards facing seats and it could be the new Brat.

(You're too old if you remember that one!)

Hehe, yeah, I had it saved from the first time I saw it. I don't remember who's Ex it is or anything like that though.

Doc, I have no idea what you're talking about, so I guess that means I'm not too old

Ahhh, a Subaru Brat! See, when you put the word "Subaru" in front of it, it started ringing a bell! Hehe, here's one with Doc's backward facing seats

okay okay you guys, people have been chopping BII's for years, there is no reason why the Explorer should be any different. Now the 2 door Explorer or Navajo is ALOT easier to chop then the 4 door for obvious reasons, it already have a line that you can cut across.

I have seen 3 convertible 4 doors to date and a single Navajo here in CO that was chopped. The Navajo is sweet!! IN fact he's a member here, I just cant remember who...

Now dont forget when you remove that sheetmetal the body will flex more and some of the rigidness of the body is lost.

Some sort of a tailgate will need to be fabricated as well, I guess just chop the top off the Explorer tailgate and hinge it from the bottom. Us BII guys are lucky as a Ranger tailgate will bolt on.

Now for those of you who said it would be easier to just trade for a Ranger, actually its alot of work both ways.
With a Ranger you would have to chop the rear of the cab make a floor, and add a back seat to get the same results....we all know its easier to remove material then it is to add........PLus everybody drives a Ranger, not everyone has the balls to chop their pride and Joy Explorer

I am still contemplating chopping my BII, I would have a custom soft top made by a custom canvas place, and also incorporate a full cage into the plans...

Convertible is better.

Reminds me of an old chop someone did of Ricks truck. Threw Hartmans rims on(35" tho) with the meaty treads lol and chopped the back sort of like that. I thought it looked really good.

Come on guys, you don't have to be THAT old to remember the BRAT. I'm almost 30 and I remember it.

 

[dgibson]

I thought about chopping mine, and seeing the white one (looks just like mine) gives me an idea of what it would look like. I think a removable top like the Bronco would be better.

 

[EliteConcept]

i don't like any of them with the back cut off....makes it look like the sport trac..which IMO shouldn't even be an explorer to begin with.......

 

[DasFrem]

Well, mine took a step towards that goal today, well, sorta. I took the doors off for fun. Looks badass and it only took like 15 min to figure it out (beyond easy). I saw a jeep drive by with no doors and was like "oh, that looks like fun", and it is. I'll post pics tomorrow.

It seems to me in the past year or so I saw an Ex posted on here with the rear cut out and roll bars in rear with a soft top. Someone needs to find that pic and post it again. I believe it was a 4dr 1st gen Ex white or silver color. anyone else remember seeing the photo. Oh snap maybe it was just a roll back soft top like a giant moonroof. Now I'm getting confudsed.

I have seen something very similar to that where I live. It was a 2nd Gen sport with the back roof cut off and a soft top going from the origional roof height down at an angle to the new "tailgate" height. It may have had a rool bar, but it was covered by the top. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It was for sale.

That black X on the first page is SO sweet!!!
