Hello The inside of the 2x6 has a piece of oak from a large pallet, cut to size and pounded in with a sledge. The tube will not dent or compress. Wood is very strong in compression especially when encased in 1/8" steel. This only added a few pounds per side, way less than the extra lbs...

I did the 0.125" tube. http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/rockers-75178/ Nitro

Coming along nicely. Nitro

Here you go. http://www.pacerperformance.com/ Go to universal flexy flares. Nitro

Hello, Ideally the tc and pinion should be //. So the two joints have the same angle and cancel each other out. However after saying that, IF : The angle of each joint exceeds the working angle of the joint all bets are off. On a cardan joint ( Double jointed CV style ) the pinion should...

Hello, Looks pretty good, just a few comments (Since you asked) You obviously had a bender of some sort, Why did you not bend the roof bars and uprights to match the contour of the body ? Nitro

Nicely done. Nitro

Thanks for the compliments. No worries about the leaf spring pockets, went to triangulated coil link years ago. I did run a sleeve in the pocket so the bolt is going into the weld nut in the body and pinching the outer flange of the pocket onto the sleeve. As if there were a leaf spring...

Scott The mirrors were a challenge, at first I was going to add them to the door itself. Just could not find a location that worked, then the windows became an issue. I finally settled on the front fenders. Remember the old Toyota's and Datsun's with the mirrors up on the fenders. They...

Stewie, As I said in the original, I exceeded the picture allowance for one thread, hence part deux. Monkey, If you factor in the 6" across the whole door and the fact the vent window and door mirror area was removed the opening in a fair size. Yes I am still pretty limber even for my age...

Monkey, But It is the only one. The hole is actually big enough to get in and out without opening the door. Nitro

Scott, 2 or 4 door, and how much money did you say you had ? :shocked: If 2 door I have the patterns, If 4 door follow instructions closely and just reduce by 1/3 . :looney: If the price was right I may consider. :jester: Nitro450exp

Hello, Well I polled and got answers. So here it is my door build. 2 parts I exceeded picture allowance. http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/2-door-half-door-window-build-lots-pics-part-1-a-47261/ http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/2-door-half-door-window-build-part-2-lots-pics-47262/ Enjoy ...
