That's awesome man! They lock too? Or did you just leave that there? It's not like the locks would prevent anything. Lol you have any pics of how you made that latch work?

Ive thought about making a top half but usually when i feel like wanting the other half, the weather gets cold and I just put my original doors back on. What you guys are talking about has been done by a guy on here with the username nitro450exp, his half doors are different than mine but has a soft top and window part. He has done some really cool stuff to his.

I am very envious of your fabrication skills. Got my first ever 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport in late March this year, and am having the work done fixing the front and rear suspension. If I had your skills, I'm sure I could do the work myself and save a ton of money that's going to be spent for parts and labor.
My hat is off to you for you project and skills.
