How much for just the hinges from the door?

OUCH!!!

Nope, The current set up I have I bought with the vehicle. PO gave up on the project and I took over. Got a good deal though. lol

Used a 1" solid rod for the support. I'm going to also put a plate on the drivers side for added support for the pahnard bracket and where the steering box with go. Last pic with CAD (cardboard aided design)

Made a little more progress the past couple weeks. Gas tank installed, support hoop, and support rod for panhard arm. I also added some gussets to the point where the shock hoops connect with the coil buckets for added support. I'm changing out my stock 40 knuckles to 60 knuckles so that will...

Couple more. Just need to put some exhaust hangers in. I'm tempted not to run it all the way out the back and just let it dump right there. Last one is where I ran my fuel pump and filter.

Took the tub back off today and got working on the exhaust. I need to figure out my fuel tank set up. I think the one I have has some rust in it. It looks like the old SOR 21 gallon steel tank. Any suggestions? For now here is some pics. My son was helping me today and wanted to do some...

Been traveling a lot lately for work but a few updates. Ran the brake lines to the rear and ran the fuel lines back to where the tank will go. Put the tub back on because I need to redo a couple of the body mounts. Also got the shock hoops for the front done. I plan on adding some gussets to...

@Mike Shull I mapped out everything on a spreadsheet I had from years ago before I started. I think it is the same one on the crawlpedia. I also tested that side at full stuff to make sure I had clearance and I'm good. I don't plan on doing super crazy trails. China Wall might be the toughest...

You've made a ton of progress! Looking great.

Just realized I didn't post about the rear shocks. Lower mounts welded in. Pretty decent flex. Anyone know where I can find some extra long extended brake lines? Preliminary measurement 22-24" long.

I like the look of this much better. I plan on making some hoops for the shocks.

Made a little bit of progress. Finished welding it most things on the front end and started working on the panhard and steering. As you'll see from my first set of pics my mount for the panhard on the axles side it a little low. Apparently it helps to mock everything up first. lol I plan on...

A little. Been swamped with work stuff. Got a litte done on the front end a bit. Hopefully pictures this weekend.
