Yea. Seats are a must if you go no doors or half doors. What kinda of welder did you get. I was looking at harbor freight for something cheaper. Don't want to buy an awesome one and flat out suck at welding. Lol

I don't remember the brand off the top of my head. Its a pretty decent mig welder though. I've done exhaust with it, roof racks, etc. Yeah I was thinking of hood vents too.

Oh hands down man. I've used all sorts and I agree 100%. I wouldn't mind getting a snap-on welder though. They make a sweet machine.

Hood vents do help it cool pretty good- I've never had any overheating problems, even when my A/C fan was dead idling in 105 temp, it only went about one and a half notches past 210. I got mine from a LeBaron Turbo in a junk yard, they look good too, Randy you've seen em, I think. Alot of people think it's a factory part.

To be honest- at the time I got them I was too afraid to cut up the hood, a body shop (Abe's) did it for $50... but it's actually pretty simple, gimme a minute to get some pics...

Well I got some doors for half doors, and got in the shop today. If anyone needs parts for a 97+ cherokee I have the door glass, window motor/regulator, door handles, passenger mirror, and I also have stock brake lines front and rear. All pulled and ready to go.

Picked up a brush guard from the bone yard today. Nothing fancy.. Was looking for vents for the hood and ran across it.
