- Father & Son cut roof off SUV Jimmy SAFARI project and make it a chop top convertible. Saved the vehicle from the scrap yard as it was slated for the crusher. We thought this was a good donor for a project!

I'm thinking of doing this because I can't find anything I want. I'm going to do so I keep my back seat area and use the tailgate and glass to seal it up. 👍 Thanks for the confidence boost
i liked the four legged technician giving it a once over
SWEET! I love this. It's something I've always wanted to do. Right on.
Could've sold that glass for beer money
High school years back in the 80s! We had a pinto that was sooo rusted out; if you rode shotgun? You'd have to keep your feet up cause there was no floor. Driver side was just as bad. Legs suspended while pushing peddles. But, she drove. Took a mitter saw and chopped off the entire top! Interior was a matching crappy. One day, we got lucky! Drove past a house. Someone threw out their entire carpet, so? We picked it up! Carpeted the entire car! Even the door panels! She did drive. For plates? This was the 80s. We live in deep South Texas! Which meant, you could cross the border and buy the window sticker plates at the Mexican flea market for $25. Better times!!!
Very Inspirational! Nice job fellas!
I have made a few trucks out of cars and they have always brought great pleasure. We are prepping a half cavalier half sunbird to turn into a closed cab truck. So many people have done this sort of thing that a name for this kind of vehicle, they are called a UTE, pronounced "yoot".
That looks pretty awesome - you should add a roll cage and put a cloth canopy over it
all you had to do was use a low E string on the glass drive it in one side and start making a saw motion til you cut the foam around the entire glass and keep the glass i am blown away that you hit it hard with a sledge hammer and it did not break its refreshing that something today has that kinda integrity today Grandpa would be proud lol
Went from a GMC Jimmy to a GMC Jenny.
I like it
Add the trailer with a camper topper and put a older style rear hatch door on it looking at how many of them are setting around in that yard looking like you may have a few there already lol
at first I thought the pickup bed on the atv was the finished product lol
We need a video of making of the truckbed trailer!
Pretty cool man, I Would've prolly made it look like a truck instead of a convertible but that's pretty badass.
You guys are doing a hell of a job on that 😃 I've cut off a couple of roofs in my time
Ole Rover was looking at all the old “TrailMix onthe floor of that truck licking his chops ! thinking Please Daddy let me have it LOL
I did this to an '86 blazer. Only because I rolled it. Plexiglass windshield and bikini top off a jeep
Just came across this video today. I happen to be building one of these out of a 03 Tahoe. We are leaving the doors on and cutting the doors and rear quarters at the window line leaving the pinch weld area by the rear glass. The original interior will be reinstalled the seatbelts are integrated into the seats in this vehicle. There will be a custome roll bar installed that will tie into the b pillars. The tahoe has a 6inch lift and sets on 35,s. The body work is still a ways from done. But the paint is bought it's a metal flake orange the bimony cover will be camel colored the wheels bumpers and roll bars are dark brown.
Where is the video or pics of the 03 Tahoe?
I love my 2000 GMC jimmy sle and have done alot of work to it to make it nice
Remember everyone wear your safety sandals
Even the dog knew something was up.. So.... Did you drive her to church yet?? Lol looks fun
Pro tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Zyaire Fisher Yup, I have been using flixzone} for since december myself :)
18:48 that four wheeler 🤣
boys of all the times to build a convertible you chose a rainy day
bravo gentleman.
good job
19:43 when you notice the cameras on you so you put on a cool face. Lol
first time you go down a windy trail,the wind shield will crack spider web,mine did anyways,looks cool.
That 4wheeler lol
"UMM AH , Drugs are bad, nkay"
the back door weld them in place and only make it a 2 door
it's ready to go to Africa for head hunters LOL
I want to do something like this to my 95 Jimmy. The difference being is that I want to replace the suspension, make it a dually, and add a 5th wheel.
A friend did did his S10 4x4 with some modification and good welder he put rear end from 91 Toyota dually 1 ton drives it all around ,He just got two custom wheels for the back for the outside and two for for front ,after the lift and lights under the truck it looks really nice ,the axle come from wrecked 1990 Toyota Dually for 300.00
As a jimmy owner I feel terrible watching this..
some of the best car modders started out doing diy car mods from their home.
+SteelCity1981 Its been a slow project. The body work is done, just need to build a roll cage and it will be ready for the dunes.
I see you like s10’s as much as I do. Woohoo
The Jimmy looks much better. I'm not sure if there's any saving the donk four-wheeler, though :)
Even the dog it's like something it's wrong with this picture😜
That's a VERY COOL CAR NOW. Question: IS IT STRUCTURALLY SOUND?? I mean will it hold up over time or will it collapse from lack of support in critical areas? Thank You. Sincerely, JAMES.
I need that blade!
Should of done half doors would have been much better
Tricky4g63 what’s a half door ?
Its when you leave the lower section of the door and you remove the top section that's above the door panel.
I agree taking doors off killed it.. Could have left all 4 doors cut even with back would have made sweet ride.. Now looks like junk.
done this with the last few s10 blazer i owned. both were off road only trucks and mud splater on the side windows made it difficult to see
that looks really good make a nice projects
Do a trailblazer 4x4 next lol
lol I see now... You just wanted to try out the new saws all...? Lol
Nice job!
Me I think I would have tried making it half a pickup truck first I have cut the roof off a car's before and nothing's worse than every time it rains everything gets soaking wet and when you're running through mud puddles you get soaked but to each their own and as they say you live and you learn don't do that right looks like another fun project.
I have that same tool pouch😂
So now we know who supplies isIS in Syria and Iraq!
Yeah, Russia my friend.
Damn dogs
at least we know the HF Sawzall works@@@@
***** Haha, that saw finally died a few weeks ago. Used it for several years though.
Mine lasted about eight years and I put it through hell 😁
Where's the second video damnit
Why...such a nice jimmy
Don't feel too bad. We saved it from the scrap yard. It had been hit from behind and bent the frame. We thought it would be fun to play with it. Thanks for watching.
When your buddy asks you why?!?! You reply why not.
best fukin video I ever seen! but I was stoned!
Should have cut the top half of the back doors off and left them and the b pillars on
Perdi meu tempo, esperando para ver se iria sair um projeto bacana.
Saiu isso....
Coisas melhores já vi e vejo...
Tchau, até nunca mais, serralheiro de carros...
E ainda destruiu um clássico americano...
hot damn! you then made one of dem dar range rover eeeeevoke cunverdibo
RIP s10
Why couldn't you have left the roof on to the rear pillar, then take it off above cargo area. It would have been stronger, and safer, given overhead protection from the sun, and wouldn't have looked quite so bad. Just sayin.
I would be ashamed to let people know I was that stupid! Hahahaha
In order as not to lose any of the body integrity, I would build a roll cage inside before cutting it.... then I would solder shut the back lid and back doors... then cut a perfect line, making all
Four doors half doors...
cover all exposed metal... bond, sand and paint...
GM shoulda thought of this
Thats what we thought too!
cut the hatch to make a tellgate that just latches in plase
Ron Bryant spell check works wonders.
how the hell I get here lol?
Tyson Washington I
Easiest way to break glass is at the edges
where are the lower rocker panel braces to frame ? with no roof the body will fold in the middle.
Cool, But I wanna know have you ever seen the rain..?
Well don't take a road trip to Wisconsin in January.
Looks great. How much weight was lost?
What size tires did you put on it?
I want one
looks like fun. did ya do it all with just 1 blade? lol
Where do you live because I need some parts for my Jimmy
you could clean the carpet and put back in there that would like nice
Can u comment any more than you possibly have?!?
Still in the process of the build. Body work is done. Need to make the roll cage and then paint. It will be an open vehicle so the floor will be just steel. We will post more video soon. Thanks for watching!
Is there a second part of this video.?
Please make sure your buddy wears flip-flops. What could possibly go wrong?
That blazer is going to fold up once they cut the roof off
They only do the easy job what happen nex is probably they trow the truck to the junk yard ...hill villages 😄
And ... what is the porpupouse ?
damn， is this truck your dinning room,lol
+Chris Lee No, this was someone else truck that we pulled out of the scrap yard before it was going to be crushed.
+j bramlett I got it, very unique project. keep updating plz
I need the driver's side door interior panel.
lol im doing the same thing to my red 1996 gmc jimmy
would it be able to be inspected like for road use. just wondering because I was doing the same thing with a wrecked exploder
Cameron Hitt there's no seatbelts so
yea if you dont live in California
Chip Foose design lol 😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Pimp my Ride 😆 👍🏼👍🏼
You need seatbelts you're going to get a ticket for no seat belts
I wasyed my time washing this red nedjunky
Atleast he didn't do this to an XJ. Hate seeing people trash perfectly good XJs...
are you going to make custom doors
Did you guys part this out? Looks like you were actually nice to it.
+heliarche I'm an idiot...I just noticed that you have a fleet of trucks to use the parts on.
+heliarche Thanks for watching! We still have the truck. Its been a slow project. The body work is done. Different seats installed. All we really have left is to make a roll cage and it will be ready to run. The project has been on hold for awhile, we've got our plated full right now with other interests and projects. We talk about finishing it all the time though. Will make more video as we build the roll cage.
+j bramlett When I saw the title I thought it was another one of those hack jobs. Don't get me wrong, even saving something from the crusher just to run the living shit out of it and have some fun is better than just sending it straight to China. Ought to be broke good and proper before you scrap it right? I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this build.
what year
Is this the one from Instagram buddy was drivin
where's the finished product? That totally sucked
making a nice vehical
that ladies and gentlemen is what you call an absolute waste.
Put some doors on it
No
my heart is in pain :/

Why not unplug. You didn’t have to cut wires for the doors
Its that his xwife truck?
Or. You could have sold it whole and bought a Jeep. But now it’s a cut up Jimmy with plenty of sharp edges to cut your head off in a wreck.👍😂😂😂😂😂
