well personaly.. i would have jsut removed the doors. it gets cold on the winter time and when it rains its going to get rusty. i made mine removable with just 4 cuts 1 on each hinge.

I might pick up some flack for this, but you could make it a pre-runner since its 2WD.
I know a lot of people dont like the pre-runner idea, but I had tons of fun doing it to my Dakota (because it was 2WD)
On another note, sorry, i dont like the baby blue. But the chop and half doors are cool! Nice cage as well.

thanks DJ, and i agree, i dont like the blue either, hence i got RATTLE CANS!!!! lol. yeah, the cage turned out "ok" but i only have it welded to the unibody for now because i ran out of material. and the welds look like crap cause i kept forgettin to turn on the gas. my boss laughed at me until he made the same mistake and i got him back.
but its all good, im only doin the cage for a single run then im goin turn it into a crawler. 4 link and everythin

well, since its will be a toy, weld your rear spiders before you go on the trail. Cheap, super effective.

I wouldn't weld your spider gears. Turn a corner and it will hop like a mother Fu**er. It's very hard on your carrier. If you want posi just buy a TRUE posi carrier. Ten you can drive it to your destinations.
