XJ half door project

<< < (4/7) > >>

BlacXJeep:
Got the door hinges lined up pretty good, and snapped some pics of them on and the rusty spots. Can't find my damn cable to upload the pics though haha.

PaulW:
put them up and lets see what we have to work with.  BTW love your sig :D

BlacXJeep:
And I like your new avatar!

here's pics don't mind my little brother

PaulW:
don't try to patch those it's too time consuming.  what you should do is where i surrounded, cut some diamond plate to match that lower molding.  and do the rockers with it also.  it's going to cost a little bit for the steel, but it'll look great, and you'll have something different than everyone else.  3/16" diamond plate will be plenty thick.  make sure you get enough to do the whole truck where that lower molding is, and don't forget the other doors too.  you can actually wrap the diamond plate under the rocker and it will be strong enough to take some sliding action  without caving in.  you can't land the entire weight of the vehicle on it, but you can slide the truck across it without too many worries.

BlacXJeep:
Yeah thats what I was thinking when I asked about diamond plating, but I cant really afford doing the whole rocker panel. I'd probably just do that bottom portion of the doors with black powdercoat diamond plate and then paint the rest of the door black. I have the red trim from the green doors to match the stock trip on the rest of the jeep so maybe I'll toy with that idea also.
