well I can say that they would be nowhere near $150. I would barely have that much in enough 1/16" aluminum to build 18 full sets for a 4 door...

Not like most of the other companies that are looking to line their wallets with gold. I'm just looking to support my family and build my XJ. If there is money left over, it will go toward buying a house with a shop so i'm not working out of a carport...

Dude, I've been wanting to go doorless for some time, just haven't found the time. If I were closer, I'd jump on being a guinea pig

It just depends on what options are on the Jeep. Some have 2 wires (none is a rare option for uber basic jeeps I think! And other could have 20+ wires because of power locks, windows, mirrors, heated mirrors, and speakers/ tweeters.

I would be willing to pay 150 for 2 doors(4 brackets) if the just replaced door part and didn't modify the welded door hinge ( and if it lined up with no airleaks or misalignments garenteed)

You can't guarantee no air leaks or water leaks because you have to unbolt the hinges. Which if you look, typically people have more problems as a result compared to cutting them like I did. Why is everyone so afraid or not willing to cut the hinges?

Also, how the hell would you get the old hinge off without cutting?
