This is how the door works. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it functions. The stumble that I ran into is that I basically wanted a pin in the door for the knobs. I originally thought I could glue a tapered head fastener in place using panel adhesive, but that didn't work. I ended up tapping...

The filter is a Volant Powercore unit built by Donaldson. http://www.volant.com/filters/powercore.aspx I've run one on my flat fender for a few years now. Love it.

Slacking a little on updates.... I got the MAF bung welded in the intake tube. I also started gluing the upper door panels together with some 3M panel adhesive. I ran a few tests. I was pretty happy with how the panel to panel lap joints performed. I think this stuff works great for that...

More big holes... I was able to get the inner 'tongue' panel for the doors cut out for the matching window panel on both sides and do a test fit. Now I need to figure out this panel adhesive thing and stick them together. Once that is done I can transfer the pin locations and work on...

Thank you for watching!

Does anyone know if a clean looking vertical surface VHF/UHF antenna mount that would be similar to this... I'd like the the wiring to pass through a hole in the wall and the fasteners to be on the inside of the tub wall. Am I going to have to make this for scratch also? It is going on my...

Well darn, if they don't light up it isn't a big deal really. They are easy to find by touch without looking so far... Yes. The tap shift thing is a bit interesting. There are a TON of things you can do with programming, but I think the stock control will be fine. There is suppose to be a 2nd...

Seems like this is taking forever but.... I worked on cutting out the window holes in the outside window panels tonight. Last night I installed the door latch and made the strike plate for the passenger side. Overall the plan is coming together....slowly. I am still waiting on my...

Tonight's tangent.... I've been wondering about what to do for a shifter for a long time now. I had a crazy idea the other day to combine a few different projects. I need to have the tap-shift and tow/haul buttons for my 6L80E transmission. I went back and forth on that for months. I...

I have been very happy. I built my entire flat fender project with their 110v welder and my dodge too. The 220 seems like the same thing but more powerful. 3yr warranty also.

Mostly just repeats tonight... Passenger side door panels are all cut out. I also made the passenger side versions of the door hinges. Shop tip.... I tried these Dewalt Impact-ready drill-tap-countersink bits for the first time tonight. I did the 6mm threads for the TJ mirror...

Good day.... One more view of the mock up door system from outside. I don't open up the big door too often this time of year because 'winter'. It was really nice to be able to get more than a few feet away.... I had to open the door to bring in some nice fresh sheets of aluminum! This is...

The #LX45 2pc door mockup is done. Hopefully my sheet of aluminum is ready tomorrow so I can turn this into metal! Overall I am very happy with how the concept turned out so far. I will be bonding the upper door sheets together with 3M panel bond adhesive along with clamping them with the window...

Tonight I decided on the door design and moved forward.... This version ended up being the best option for a few window based items. With this shape of the window, with the long bottom flat, I can have dual way slider. That slider will be able to open about 9" on either the front or the...

Thank you for the input. Option 3 is also my current favorite ( till I change my mind in two minutes ). I like that the angled section basically matches the rear of the front fender and the kick panel vent. I think option 3 will also be the only one that I can have a dual way sliding window. The...

Tonight was window shape roulette.... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Which one do you like and why?

The mockup door swings and latches. Now to figure out how what the final shape of the window will be and figure out this 2pc door thing is going to work.....

Thank you so much!

2nd hinge done along with a test fit of the Jeep TJ mirror. Overall it all worked out pretty well..... The next step is to attach the wood door to the hinges and do a final check fit and trim. I can then cut the pocket for the door handle and make the strike plate.

Today I work on the door project..... I wanted the hinge to bolt into the stock FJ40 hinge mount slot. The door side needs to use a Jeep TJ mirror. The custom door width changes the offset slightly. I also want the doors to be able to lift out. If my McMaster order would show up I...
