I have about $130 in all four.

$75 in steel. I bought 2 24' sticks of 11ga 1.5" tube. I think I used about 35' of that.

$18 for the 4 latches

$10 for the bolts

$12 for the plastic tube caps

$15 for 2 spray cans of bed liner.

Those look great! U should post up your measurements. I definitely agree with the square tube route I mean XJs are boxes lol.

you should deff make me a set i have a 90 xj and these would be perfect for the summer months

Here you go, front and rear measurements.

Thanks for the cut sheet. Would you mind talking photos of the door hinge and what is the distance between the vertical post and the end of the top and bottom rails? I want to take the measurements to a welding shop along with the photos and have them fab the rear doors and that's the only measurements missing
Thanks

No problem. I'll work on getting some clear pics of the hinge area and post them up. I think the measurement you are looking for is 1.25". It is the same for the front and rears. It just needs to be enough to clear the door hinges and enable the bolts to have clearance and some metal left around them for support, so it is not that crucial to have it exactly the way I set these up.

Keep in mind that you will have to modify the body side hinge. The top portion (the door stopper) of the hinge needs to be cut so the tube can fully pivot.

Any other questions, let me know. Thanks.

If you decide to build and sell them, let me know. I have a few friends that are interested in them. Maybe you could sell them with the option of welded or shipped and assembled by the customer. Seems like shipping would be cheaper and easier on your end.
Let me know and I read your PM and i'll let you know
Thanks

I would definitely buy them for my 96. And like the other guy said... even if they're just precut materials waiting on welds I'd buy them!! Great finished product!!! I envy your ingenuity!!! This needs to be stickied!
