yellow jeeps seem to attract girls and barbies!

just kidding, can't wait to see the final product

 

How can you tell it's a boy Jeep? It's got wood!

Lookin good so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

I helpful fellow jeeper from the forum sent them to me for the price of shipping. They were from a friend of his that had their hinges replaced due to corrosion.

Now I just need DOOR HANDLES

 

When I'm done I'll post all of the measurements. I can even make cardboard templates and ship them out to interested parties. If you use cheap hinges and cheap latches I think you could make a set of rears for less than $100 + paint. That is considerably less that $7000!!!

Even at the "wood" stage this is looking awesome.

 

I would like to make a set for mine. Look Great.

 

So far looking really good Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

I've been toying with those exact ideas. Except it would have to be Jeep Green. In addition to the cargo mat, there is also an extension to the Duster cover to completely cover the rear from just behind the front seats all the way to the tailgate--I think I saw that in the new Quadratec JK-only catalog. That would really look cool.

 

nice work!!

 

Here are the latches I got from www.yogisinc.com. They work GREAT. The door pops open when I hit the actuator just like the full door. It is a real 2 stage door latch and was only $22. The mounting bracket is ugly because I had to keep changing it to make the latch hit the striker right. When I make the real door I'll make it out of solid angle iron and weld it to the door frame with slotted holes to adjust the "depth". When the factory outside door handles come (tomorrow I hope) I'll make a linkage to the actuator arm. From the inside I'll probably just push up on the actuator.
