Had to take out my drivers side seat to get to my capacitor and amp. Power wire came loose and my subs were sounding like shit.

Also found out my front bumper mount on the driver side has broken again and my front bumper is now loose. FUCK. Gonna have metal miller make me some 1/4" plates on the water jet.

Good call on that too. I just try to pretend its a roller coaster and keep my hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. Lol

I usually use that theory too except this last Jambo reminded me that sometimes the driver of the rollercoaster does stupid shit that invites the dirt/rocks/stuff into the cab at all different angles. Think I'll be picking up some tube doors sometime in the future.



And a cage.

Not to knock your purchase or build at all, but why run tube doors over just running none at all? Is there a benefit I am missing?

In NJ vehicles equipped with doors are required to have doors (not that I care much what the 5-0 think about my truck lol)

13:20-33.32 Doors – The motor vehicle doors and all door operating devices, handles, buttons, hinges, and
latches shall be in proper operating condition. A method of opening the door from the outside is not required
on motor vehicles with fabric tops which are equipped with glazing material which can be readily removed
without the use of tools. Motor vehicles designed and manufactured with doors shall be equipped with doors.
Motor vehicles designed and manufactured without doors shall be equipped with seat belts or a strap, chain, or
restraining device of some type across the opening.

Also it was scary enough doing 70 down the highway with only a couple peices of tube between me and the road haha

Plus what was said below VVVVV

Plus if you lay it on its side its nice to have some DOM tubing there vs. just you. I've laid my rig over on its tube doors a few times.

Tube doors decrease frame flex and increase visibility. They are an important part of my 3 60 A/C as well.

So you're saying there's a chance!
Makes sense why you would keep some type of door then.

Are they similar to the Dodge mirrors? Looks like the ones on my diesel, they are nice for towing.

I guess as long as you don't drive around with them flipped out for no reason, put cab lights on top of the truck, a stack coming out of the bed, and blow black smoke the mirrors will be fine.

rofl Then we will know that the mirrors are the cause for all the gay Dodge drivers and ghost trailers.

Gonna make my trip from Houston to K2 with the tube doors on. 274mi each way. Unless I tow it. The trick is to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen.

I guess I just got used to running around with no doors... It does suck if it unexpectedly gets cold/wet on you though. The heater just cant keep up at 70mph.

Are you familiar with the amount of heat generated by a 22re ? :)

Degreased the truck a few weeks back when I repaired the frame.

Now I have OCD over squeaky uniballs that I can't get lubed no matter how hard I try (that's what she said)
