[QUOTE="AEH, post: 753968, member: 8258"] There was no way my wife was ever gonna crawl through a hole (not that she couldn’t, she just wouldn’t) so doors were a must. The windshield, heated seats and the heater all follow this same logic. On the doors, I added a couple 1/4” plates. In case I roll it over on a rock, I didn’t want the doors to shear off the latch and get pushed in on me. The lower plate does not contact the door but the upper plate keeps the door snug and prevents it from rattling. I added a couple of those little rubber bumpers you find on steel door frames. After welding in place and installing the bumpers, just adjust the plates with a BFH or countersink as required until the door closes Snuggly. Worked out perfect [ATTACH type="full"]121093[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]121094[/ATTACH] I used a Jeep exterior door latch mounted On the inside. Worked out good [ATTACH type="full"]121096[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
