im making a set of tube doors for my zj and i started by removing my door and taking some measurements (side to side, height, location of latch, etc) and then making a mock up out of pvc pipe.

Sounds like a good summer idea but then again I wouldn't want mudd all over the inside of my jeep as it's a daily driver.

what do you mean by safari doors ? if your good at fabricating , make a set of tube doors , alot of people use the spare tire carrier off of s10 blazers , there all over junk yards , and make a few brackets off it and weld up some sheet metal and trim it up to fit your door opening and make a half door if thats what you mean by a safari door ?
