Looks cool. The only thing I would do different would be to add a cup holder.

kinda like how you left the top of the door on there. are you going to do anything for the interior side or are you just gonna leave it chopped and bare?

Either sheet metal it or her that fiberboard stuff interior shops use for door panels. Something easy so that I can get to the latch if I have to.

I opted for a cup holder.

Didn't think of it at the time to keep the top part of the door to be able to cover it, but I have full doors for bad weather. They are so light and easy, makes me hate my full doors.

I thought about doing the wood in between rather the fully welding in the 14g sheet like I did but oh well. Still debating drilling the hole and putting marine insert or pvc idk we will see. I think I finally came to realize I am doing the rears haha prob next month

^ thanks. I did mine on a whim one day with what I had laying around. After the fact I've seen some use fiberglass to cap the top and fill the inside. Looks real clean. I keep telling myself I'm going to finish the inside and put speakers in them, but its been 2 years now and still haven't got around to it.

Hahaha it's a jeep so many things to do (completely) but we always move on to another project haha. I move my speakers into the dash so I had one less plug to undo in the kick panel haha
