So Frick, these doors, they will not open, just kind of be like an EB with the "rancho" or whatever package that was, you know what I am talking about Stacy on Trucks did it....
Interesting.... I always like some custom work like this, better to learn on the big nasty than something else, that is where the klogger fits in....
yes partially karl, the actual door part wont open but the door skins are re-inforced from the inside to make them more durable, then there will be a hinge with a piece of tube on it to protect driver and passenger from rocks and other foreign obstacles. today i got most of the pieces cut, and ready just need to do some welding.Quote:

hmmm beverage holder.....nice
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...beverage
Those doors are not legal. There is no lip to keep crap from rolling outta the truck. You dont have to have doors you just have to having something to keep crap from rolling from the floor onto the street.Quote:

I've read about the law too, but not sure if it was a tejas thing or somewhere up north. It, like ever other law, is just a matter of how strictly it is enforced though.
mike is right, although i never had to deal with this when i had my inspectors license.
hmm....then do they have specs on how large this "lip" to hold crap in has to be? I mean, if you took the doors off of most cars, there would still be a pinch weld seam sticking up that is usually covered by carpet and a rocker molding. It's only a 1/2" high at most, but technically, it's a lip.
if you want to get technical there is about a 3/4 inch lip. but yet by this rule half the rigs in our club arent street legal.
besides if i get pulled over this is the least of my worries, and besides clarke didnt get a ticket for it either when he got rammed up the pooper by the police after clayton.
I've driven around Dallas and a few hours down a couple different Highways so far without running into a problem. I would say it's just if the cop wants to be a prick or not. I would bet 98% of them don't know either.
got saginaw swap all done, it is much nicer when driving on the street, but it is not quite as awesome as some people that rant and rave about it say it is. I moded the main screw in part that gets drilled out to allow for better steering at low rpm. Also without my assist ram wheeling fawking blows i cant turn for crap.
I got my new psc ram yesterday 2 inch piston, 1,1.25 or 1.125 rod i cant remember which one, setup for 3/4" male heims on both ends. This think kicks the crap outta my west texas off-road 1.5 inch ram, it is so much more beefier and wellbuilt. Should have the new ram installed by the weekend depending on when my heims come in.
How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking into buying a ram since I'm already setup for it and wonder if spending the extra on a psc one over a tsc one is worth it.
the intranet is amazing :flipoff2:Quote:

They are $115 including shipping from Polyperformance. I just ordered one
or i posted it in the good deals thread. robbie your jeep is setup for the crappy huge phalus of a tsc clevies i believe so it will prolly benefit you to get the tsc one.
Yes it is, but I was considering investing in one that I could easily swap over to my future 60 when I'm ready to do all of that. Just trying to figure out the best option.
if you want ill bring mine to the meeting tomorrow night robbie and you can check it out.
cut the fenders yesterday ill throw some pics up todays sometime, as well as beating my driverside half door back in commision, and getting it re installed.
Big nasty to fat time to get skinnier!!! :gigem:
didnt get the hood done, and havent matted teh grill back together, also gonna make a new grill insert out of 1/2 pipe prolly. But it is now 10 inches skinnier than yesterday.
lookin good man
Look's good Kevin. :gigem:
How do you plan on tying the grill back together?
bubblegum?Quote:

what's the 1/2" pipe have to do with anything?
smartass :flipoff3:
looks good
wouldn't it have been easier to only make one cut in the middle of the grill, looks like it isn't goin to meet back very well.
I think once it gets straightened out it will match up pretty good. The before picture looks like the grill is pretty straight to start with.
I still want to know what product or how you plan on fastening it together. Shut up Garrett:flipoff2:
whatever, like symmetery would is ever a good idea.Quote:

Now after thinking about it i should have made onely one cut and then just redrilled all of the mounting holes.
to reattach it i will either have it tig'd, but prolly not cause this will prolly cost me a good amount of money. My other way to reattach is, there is a lip on the inside of the grill on the top, so i will use a long thin strip to with self tappers or something of the like to put it back together. Then if there are some small sliver spaces left from cutting i will cut out a sliver of the pieces i removed and use those to fill inthe gap, and bondo or glue them in from the back side. Like i said it is not complete by far, yet if i can find someone to tig it up for a decent price then i will go that way.
Is it aluminum? You'd have to get a pretty damn good welder to do it if so. Thin **** is not easy. All thought welders that good usually pride themselves with being able to weld thin, like the guy at mike's old work that could tig together aluminum cans.Quote:

When you drill the mounting holes, just drill them a hair over size so that you can adjust it to fit tight. You will be able to see the cut lines, but if you get it tight enough they shouldn't be too bad. I was thinkin that this thing was plastic for some odd reason. I would ask my dad to weld it, but I would rather you kick me in the junk than have to talk to him at this point in time. :cheers:
If you want to you could give it to me and I can take it down to brenham and have it tig'd.Quote:
