BlacXJeep:
Driving to New Hartford Saturday morning to pick up some free doors for my rig. Yes, free!!! Been searching the forums and finally I'm gonna have my hands on a pair. So if anyone would like to give me a hand with the fab work. I. E., some welding and grinding, well that would be super. Never done any fab work, but want to learn.

This should help me to avoid armpit chaffage on club trail rides, and allow for better visibility. Heres something simmilar to what I would like to do.

i have a better way of doing it that involves a LOT less work.  i don't have any pics of how mine came out, but they still were functional and looked pretty decent.

BlacXJeep:
Yeah I was trying to think of a way to do them without so much fab work, so I'm open to ideas

i can only explain in person

BlacXJeep:
So I picked up those doors today, and found that they were yes free and most of the doors were in good shape, but the bottoms are pretty rotted out. So Im thinking maybe some black daimond plating is in order to fix this. Still need to modify the hinges, but I managed to gut both completely already. So now I think I will mark some lines on them of were i want to cut, and leave them out in plain site for a few days to stew on the idea.

Paul, I'll bring them with me when I come up,  I'm def going to need a hand esp since they are rotted thru.
