Well?

Nothing yet. Busy with some light remodeling in the house for a refinance. Back in the shop next week.

What radiator are you going to use? Off the shelf, or custom? Needing ideas for up travel reasons on mine.

Customer supplied radiator and fan combo. Not a high dollar unit I don't think, 27x19 I believe.

I believe that I could leave a bag full of cash with you and come back to a finished buggy and never ask a single question BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTERWARDS. Amazing skills sir.

Where did you get the clips and other accessories to build the tube doors?

All the accessories to hang and latch- Austinhardware.com

Barrel hinges, rotary latches, striker plates, and striker bolts. I'll have pics of those installed tomorrow.

Not sure if you got the barrel hinges off Amazon, i bought a set for a different project that look to be the same. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DMFHRG4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm in the process of building tube doors for mine. You're a lot fancier than I am tho. I'm just using some pop pins and a bolt/tube combo as the hinge.

I have used those for similar applications, they work well, but they always seem to bind a bit with chassis flex. That's why I'm not using them on the doors. I do have plans for those in other places.

Dave's wife rides a lot, so easy ingress and egress are my goal here.

On the cage on the b pillar, why not make it out of 1 piece instead of having an open end on the outside like that? I know you got some plan i'm just curious what it is.

Really just a style choice. I like capped tubes and mend plates, desert truck influences. As a bonus, allows me to do much of the assembly on the fixture table, then install as modules. You can see many caps on the manche.

There will be a horizontal assembly between B and C, tying in to the rear upper shock mount, tube and sheet work.

I never noticed on the manche now i'm going to have to re-read that whole thread again. That's a really smart idea though. My cage is one piece on my TJ and it was a nightmare to get back in because everything moved just enough make it hell.

Doors latched. Still need to make a paddle for the release lever. I set it up to pull up to release.
