I was definitely thinking bolt-on flanges for those of us without fiberglassing skills, with the zipper mod. Of course, yours is more...elegant. :ylsmoke:

Could you somehow modify and use a soft top door surround?

Ooo...that's way closer to me than SD. Congrats on the second location!

If you've got the money but not the skills...(i.e. if you're NOT Metcalf): https://jklwrangler.com/

Ah, I'm a dumb-********...I was thinking the J8 was the military pickup. Brain fart.

Looks like a JKU with half doors. But a diesel 2.8L? Imported, perhaps? Is the mining company Euro?

Nope, no threaded holes that I'm aware of. We'd have to leave the freedom panels in place when running with no sides. But IMHO, if I wanted both the sides AND the freedom panels off, I'd just run topless. I often run with my soft top up and no sides or back windows. With your barn door, you...

Stoked! :wings:

Ah. Carry on, then. :oops:

Those look nice; I prefer them to the Bushwackers, and steel to boot. I'm partial to the MCEs on a TJ/LJ, but those Barricades would certainly make me think twice. Edit: derp...not sure where I read they were steel. Maybe I read ABS and my brain connected "my abs of steel", so I thought steel...

You mean 07-11.

YES!!! :wings: Really looking forward to seeing how you do it, as I want to do the same. Or better yet, since you don't need it: I call dibsies! :elkgrin: Seriously, PM me when you're done and want to get rid of it.

Take a look at the second photo; looks like they are outbound and mounted to the exterior. Time for a bigger lift! :wings:

That really looks fantastic; the proportions are perfect, IMHO.

Good point.

That's my favourite configuration. Enjoying watching the progress!

I certainly don't mind; I've been thinking more about a trailer myself, so this thread is money. Unfortunately...literally! :********:

I'm jealous.

+1. Looks like an epic build!

Roll down side doors make sense, for the reasons you mentioned. The factory rear window rolls up; probably mostly because it then tucks inside the roof nicely when you put the soft top down. Not an issue with the soft barn. I guess the more I think about it, the more it doesn't really matter how...
