I did. I have spent about 8 hours so far welding and grinding the lap along the top and general cleanup of crappy workmanship. Now they are acceptable.

wow, so for $900 you got s*** that needed extra work?

Another option I found, from TPI that I hear a nice out of the box:

It's simple really. They look cool.

not on an early truck where the doors had different handles and no stamping in the metal

No? I dont have a photo of them installed, but i think theyll look ok?

This is how I do the early model doors. Lines up to meet the tub at the back and retain both of the covers on the inside.

Those are Aqualu half doors. It might be cheaper to deal with them direct.

you ever order these?

FJ40 FJ43 FJ45 Steel Front Half Doors - https://relikgarage.com/collections/parts/products/fj40-fj43-fj45-steel-front-half-doors

I did not. I was somewhat leery of south american made steel (and from the sounds of it, for good reason).

I think a 40 looks better and is cooler without any doors and top.

Do you ever make and sell these?

I do not. The original poster of this thread might. I am not the original poster/thread starter.

I've reported this before, now's a good time to report it again- - -I paid about $2,800.00 for my brand new FJ40 in 1970 (worked for the Dealer, got cost plus $100). Now you guys are talking about 50% of that for a pair of 1/2 doors- - -amazing.

Way to rub it in…again!

Yes I do. I build these on the side to try and fund my other cruiser projects. I have been perfecting the process for awhile now on both late and early models doors. You can check out other photos on my instagram page. (ljackhalfdoors)
