Looks good Banshee.

I know you had some issues initially, but how's the final fit and finish? Any rattles?

I used a 12" shifter to adjust the lock mount plates & they fit well now. The biggest rattle I get is from the test tags on the fire extinguishers beside the seats rattling in the wind!

Reapplied tape to the catches while I was doing it. Mirrors shake a little, but that is about normal.

They probably have about the same intrusion protection as the regular doors, with a fraction of the weight!
Haha I have, and included that they are probably stronger than the original doors.

I can't understand her logic considering she loves not wearing a seatbelt when we're on the beach even in the Tj with the half doors.

Which is probably why I'm on my 3rd marriage

Bought and fitted one of these from Ebay:



They're not too bad but you do have have elongate 3 of the holes to fit. Despite all the wheel stud combinations, it doesn't quite fit the Wrangler wheel pattern. A couple of minutes with a Dremel and it was fine.

Fitted a rugged ridge front bash plate and fitted a spider web shade.

The bash plate was originally for an 07-08 so needed a bit of grinding and all good. Picked it up off a fellow ausjeeper new in its box for just $100.00. So couldn't say no.




Sent using telepathy. Who needs smart phones?
