Ok so heres a couple shots of what I ended up doing... ;D

Got TJ mirrors and some Hellas from Tsunami for a nominal fee (thanks man). Of course the doors will only be off for driving not wheeling, but I like the fact that I can push the TJ mirrors either forward or backwards for the trail. I mounted them before the door so I don't have to fumble with anything as far as mirrors when I want the doors off. They came out pretty well, other than the fact that they are at a slight angle. I'll screw with that later, its just the angle of the body panels. Also made some quick discos for the damn electric windows, and relocated the speakers to the kick panel.

Thanks Kirk your a sweetheart... lol

post a pic of your electrical disconects.  i'm thinking of someday getting tube doors for the taco

They arent anything fancy yet, i litterally just used male and female connectors for the ground and the same for the power source wire. But I made them opposite and taped the female connecters all the way to the top with electrical tape to avoid shorting out. Works well for now, but I'm going to look into doing something else when i get around to it.



heres what the inside of my gutted doors look like. As I said before my moron stepfather threw out my door covers and my armrest/handles. Not cool. I'm thinking about fabricating something rather than buying them from the junkyard. Any suggestions?

I used these connectors on a race car project I did back in college.  Easy to install, and easy to disconnect.

as far as your window switches, when i took my doors off, i still wanted to use the rear windows.  so what i did with the power switches was mount them in the dash,  they fit perfectly where the rear wiper switch was, and since the rear wiper hadn't worked in prol 15 years i didnt miss it at all.

only 2 wires?  thats nice!  I would have way more than that (power windows, locks, mirrors).  It could still be done, though.  Looks good though!

Tsunami, I have your brackets, never used them, I'll get them to you later. And btw Adam those actually are hella lights even tho they are stock lol. They say hella right on them.

As far as the window controls, I did mount them under the dash for now. And It was only 2 wires cuz I decided I didnt care about power locks, and I moved the speakers. The power locks could be hooked right back up if i wanted though, I left the wiring intact. Good stuff

I have rear speakers as well, but I knew if i didnt relocate the front ones I would turn the rear up 2 loud and blow them out. You have a truck so its different for you i suppose.
