yet another tube/half door build/cowl snorkel
well decided I wanted to build some tube doors and I seen some neat ideas posted. decided to go with the s10 tire carrier and this is how it turned out I got about 34$ in each door.
I reused the latch that came on them as well as the handle. more pics coming soon with the skins on them also built a cowl snorkel not to long ago as well turned out pretty good I think.
last picture is how my jeep sits now with a new 6.5 inch long arm lift and 33's

Nice looking Jeep, love the tube doors idea!
I'd be a little leery of that snorkel though. That only raises the intake point about a foot or so but when you go through a puddle, you create a depression in the front that usually prevents water from going into the grill but it'll still go over the hood. Not only that but the cops in some states might get on your *** about having an obstruction in the path of sight.
