Finally shifted the focus back on the Comanche..

Put the drivers side door back on again so I can decide where to install the striker.

I'd probably put the striker on the roof personally

So I traded the bunch of old leaf springs and the old fenders for a set of manual 97+ doors and a tailgate.

I took the latch and hardware off the tailgate. Probably sell it. Saving the metal to make a bench or just hang up on the wall.

As of the doors. The reason why I got it is so I have spare set of manual crank regulators and cut the shells up into half doors that can go on either the XJ or the MJ.

While I'm taking it apart. I noticed that it had heated mirrors. Can anybody say score?

Guess I'm gonna put that on the Grüner XJ.

Other than that. There's absolutely no progress lol.

Shape looks good. How wide did you make them? Looks like they have full coverage.

About 4.5"-5" wide. I can't remember. But it is directly above the tread line on the tires.
