Would this stand up?

It looks pretty slick, but would this Cherokee be structurally sound? I remember hearing that if you hack up the body too much you lose the strength.

It does look sweet though

You are right, the body is part of the structural integrity of the unibody design, and you lose rigidity when you start to hack it up. Flex the sheet metal too much and you get metal fatigue.

I think the builder of this Jeep gained some rigidity after removing the rear cab by adding the two support braces in the bed. It is a clean Jeep but I much prefer the MJ.
 
there is one like the for sale locally to me. it looks cool but i like the comanche more, also. i would take a cherokee or a comanche but not a cut up cherokee
 

i do like that he added a semi roll cage in the back, like on that tv show, fall guy
