XJ half door project
BlacXJeep:
Kirk I filled that area I showed you in the back of my rear fender well with expanding foam, then I used the JB weld I had there. Came out really nice after I sanded and painted it, so I will take that into consideration here.

i don't know how thick they are, i would go with the strips of 3/16" diamond plate myself. may be a little more expensive, but you'll be able to slide over em without worrying too much.

Great Job!! Makes me want to find some doors for my FJ and do the same thing ::) ... And with some welding skills, I'd omit the wood and in the end it might look pretty much seamless!

Yeah its not even close to being done, but you can see how it has taken shape pretty easisly. Lots of bond work to smooth it out needed. Then I'll paint it black and call it a day. Do have to admit I tore up my knuckles pretty good working on it. You should see if anyone else has done it on an FJ. The doors may be alot heavier. Part of the reason you don't see it on ZJs often. Also would you be able to modify your hinges to swap stock doors in and out easily?

The doors are looking great. I had a friend of mine that made half doors for his Toyota truck several years ago that looked very similar to what you are building. He used a door knob hole saw to build an insulated drink cup holder in each door and it looks like you have the room to do the same. I'm sure I have a picture of it, but I'd have to dig through my pictures I have on disks. When I switched computers I moved a lot of my older pics to disks.
