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

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
