For proof it goes offroad haha
Thanks Everett @beertimecontinuum

 

We'll be sure to get some pics/vids next weekend.

 

It seems like its takin forever haha

 

Workin on a bracket that will signal the door is shut with the tube doors on. I dont want to add "removing the door closed sensor" to the steps of what to do to remove the doors.

So far, heres what I got:







Ill bend that line up, but waiting to get the doors physically on so I get the exact measurement to line up.

 

Stop throwing your gang signs up.

I'd be concerned with snagging myself on that. But without seeing the entire thing, I don't know if that's a valid concern or not.

 

yea you would be concerned with that....but its not valid haha. you'll see

 

just put a rubber cap on it and you'll be good

 

that is a possibility

 

Got this in the mail today. Plan on mounting it to the oh shit handle in the rear seat behind the driver. Ill only have it up on O/R trips of course.



Also got my driver LCA swapped out with one from MOOG (rockauto). Cost me 115$ after shipping and another 21.50 for a do-it-yourself garage on post, so I was in it for less than 140$.

An OEM LCA cost 430$ + tax and I'm not sure how much the labor would be, but I think that's a HUGE win. All thats required is the alignment, even though I marked each tab, my steering wheel somehow is now in the 2oclock position to go straight haha, but at least no more clunking!

 

got the doors back a day early...but they didnt plug the threaded holes like I CALLED AND ASKED THEM TO! so I have to tap them again. kinda made me angry since I called to remind them but i guess mistakes happen. The powder coat job cost $100 total for both doors, not sure if thats good or bad? (matte black. they sandblasted, primed, coated)



trying to get them mounted tomorrow

 

Finally complete. Just gotta add the door mirrors and BOOM!





(and yes the 1.5" hole will be plugged. the plastidip is drying on my piece to fill it)

 

Spent the weekend riding at Choccolocco ORV Park in Jacksonville, AL.

Only pic I took all weekend. Saturday night after fixing a broke driveshaft and it was too late/hot to feel like cooking anything. Definitely needed some A/C


And the morning after I got home, the dust was miserable. Like moon dust it was so fine and light. Got everywhere but LOVE the tube doors for offroad, opens up everything to see.

 

Driver's seat looks good. Somehow I don't think that air freshener is doing much though.

 

yeaaaaaaa I threw that away just after the pic haha

EDIT: that flooring I installed was by far one of the BEST things ive done in the truck

 

I really hope you Armor-All it.

 

Just remember dust isnt so bad. But mud will stain everything haha.

 

haha yea, luckily there was NO mud and the doors kept the little spray of dirty water out of the main cab (little bit on the door sills and floor, but the rubber flooring made that no issue). and I used about 3/4 of a spray bottle of armor all and almost a whole roll of paper towels
