Get your popcorn ready!

Let’s get back to some actual building!

I have a few weekends coming up with very little planned so now is a good time to take on the major renovation I’ve been planning on for 2 plus years.

Remember the red Roxor I had for a few months? The one I was going to use the chassis for the FC body swap and then the red body was going to be used to mak a 4 door Roxor. Well I ended up selling that to Wade LaLone when life got a bit busy a few years back.

Now that things have settled down for a bit I’m back on the mission of making my 4 door wheeler a reality.

Yes I know Wade recently welded 2 Roxors together to make a ridiculously long Roxor limo (that I think is awesome!) but this one will be done diffrent. I still plan to wheel the absolute crap out of it so it will need to be a bit more functional for trail use.

Why because I refuse to play the duck game with a newer jeep . But also we wheel as a family now and I gave up all of my storage to add a corbeau rear seat for my daughter.
I’d like to add the gear rack I built a while back behind the rear seats.

Let’s get this build started with stripping it down. And unfortunately ruining the brand new wrap.

I started by drawing out the rough shape of the rear doors, minus 10 inches of length. I left the corners angular for now but I plan to give them some curve later. For now I just want to make it as easy as possible to build the new body panels and get doors drawn up for the plasma table.

After getting the door cuts made I got the Roxor in the air and started to disconnect all of the harness plugs. Brake lines and drive shaft. Then use a laser level to draw a line across the floor, about 1.5 inches in front of the rear floor seam. The plasma cutter made short work of slicing through the floor and bedliner.

Next was the frame. I chose to cut right in between the roll bar tie in and the spring hanger. The frame rails are parallel for about a foot in that area. That should make it easier to add 10 inches of box steel then fish plate over it for extra strength.

At this point I face palmed a bit…. Boy am I glad I added a flex section into the exhaust.

A rather productive Sunday. The hard part is done… now on to the fun. Less cutting, more building!

Got on the computer and made the frame extension with the help of the plasma table and press brake. It will be boxed in but doing it this way will allow me to weld inside and out before capping it inside of the frame.

Bent. Squared up. Tacked in place. Back on its own weight.
