Add some tube doors and cut the roof off!! Wonder why it would be against the law for you to ride without door?? What state are you in?

i live in cincinnati ohio if any one can find it that its not illegal let me know

It isn't...I grew up in Cincy. Good lord, it's the home of Gravelrama! how could it POSSIBLY be illegal to drive doorless?

I did it in my Trooper and I've seen XJ's do it too.

just another thought but bars will be thicker and different color, maybe some mesh to cove inside and some padding

SoDakJeep · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2007 5:06 pm

For some reason that reminds me of a playpen.....

Anyone know where to find a set of doors for cheap? I have an idea to just cut them down, make them half doors similar to what a lot of XJ guys do.

Convex mirror (like we used in racing) could be mounted with a bracket from the visor screws...it would just peek out the dorr frame.

Love your willingness to try something new freshmud!

That wouldn't work here tho.... so many streams and huge
puddles on the trail. You'd need raingear!

ooops

mounted in hinge

theres two bolts up there and perfect size for mirror mounts from 87 wrangler

MoladoGuy · **Posted:** Fri Jun 15, 2007 1:53 pm

OOOPPPSS, LOL. So that's why you are taking the doors off huh!

First, I actually like the mirror setup. Pretty cool. Second, are you just mounting the drivers side mirror? Lastly, would your tires kick up road debris into the cabin area? The Wrangler fenders are much wider and would prevent that from occuring. I think. LOL. I can't wait to see more...........

of the doors your putting on.

Getting there and girls like going "doorless" :idea:

I would be so tempted (since you have a sport) to Rhino Coat the floor the same color as the flairs/carpet.

Now when you make tube doors, make them a tight fit with weather stripping around the bottom and sides (it would not be seen)...then a diamond plate door skin that is put on with cotter pin type setup.

All it takes is one person who is willing to experiment...OH...and get a ring on that girl's finger :!:

What will you do for speakers or did I miss this from earlier posts?

Freshmud · **Posted:** Fri Jun 15, 2007 3:12 pm

custom mount in dash as well as trunk area, but thats way down the road, i am going to cicny tool rental today ,as well as ordering the other side mirror, to get a tube bender and some one up north has the rest of the tools

Guest · **Posted:** Sat Jun 16, 2007 12:43 am

Have you thought about stopping by the Grainger store and buying a tubing bender? or what kinda bender are you getting?

IIRC It's down off of Rt 4 around where 275 comes across it

BTW...

I'm going to assume that stain there is a coke spill or something :lol:

I'll refrain from making the joke that's in my mind :wink:

my doors are gone w/ new mirror pics!!!!!

Who is online
