Got to transfer all of the front components from the damaged original door into the new door shell, all the locks, sliders, window and wiring harness etc. Everything closes like new and nothing is misaligned. Time to do the rear door.

Got a chance to finally finish both front and rear door internal guts swap, what a pain!! But both doors are finally finished and installed and fit perfectly. Im so glad i didnt have to paint anything yet, fender or doors. The bed and the rocker panel will be painted, but thats something i cant go around. Getting so close! cant wait to finish and start doing upgrades!

I had a dirty problem with the truck about a month ago, i thought i had resolved the issue that i thought would last a big longer than it did, but sadly the bandaid lasted less than expected. So i had to tackle it once again and fix it right so it doesnt come back again, it sucks, but it is what it is

My truck didnt come with a factory garage door opener, I looked around and found a used one for $60, it was a different cover, but i figured id give it a shot to see if it will work, came with a wiring harness and everything else. well it was worth the $60, it was a plug and play, now just gotta program it to the garage receiver itself.

Sure might be a little silly looking but so much fun driving it, the looks I get is priceless lol. Got the door jamb resprayed and then he side of the bed repainted as well. Sadly the rains are here now and I won't get to enjoy it as long as I wanted and have to install doors on STAT!

Installed all the doors back on because it was starting to get cold and raining, so the jeep life will have to wait till next year lol. Also picked up a set of new tires 35s and wheels 20x9 with -12mm offset.
