s***....




What's best way to go about this? A new door?

 

[native1]

Oh no!!!!!! Yep you are definitely going to need a door. Hopefully the pillars are ok. What did you slide into?

 

[Apounder]

Light pole with concrete around bottom... Looks like 2 doors, cant get front window up..

Crap man. That sux. Front window might have just been knocked off track.
Sliders man. Sliders but not sure how much it would help or if it would have transferred stress straight to frame. Good luck with the repairs. Shoulda hit the other side I got ds doors for ya

I bet arcteryx has doors for you.
Sorry to see that bro.

 

[Apounder]

Got 2 doors from Torfab which happened to be the right color so they saved me there! Unfortunaly the b pillar is twisted pretty bad and the rocker is pretty bad..

 

[scrowley]

Sorry man. That sucks. She was looking pretty. My first thought was "sliders" too. Frame is a easier fix IMO. How much where doors btw? I'm sure you will have it looking pretty again in no time.

Where you drifting/donuts in a parking lot??

You had to ask...

 

[scrowley]

Sry, just saw your panic pic in a lit up snowy lot. Put 2&2 2gether. The heavy 80 doesnt drift like a Awd car that's for sure.

UPDATE: all fixed up and back on the road, and got the front brakes cleaned up and painted, also installed a slee tie rod and new ends!

 

[Apounder]

UPDATE: been awhile but got the front bumper made and installed, new distributer cap and rotor, moved from 37x12.50r17 to 40x13.50r17s and will be doing some cutting in the next week along with axle armor.

 

[Apounder]

UPDATE: got fenders cut and now these 40s are fitting right! Soon to come, sliders, axle/diff armor, TJM 5in springs, and chromo axles!

How did you get the B pillar and rocker back into shape?

 

[Apounder]

Rocker panel is meh, B pillar looks like new but is the original, I dropped car off at a friends body shop, week later picked it up and it was like new, not all sure how they fixed it and made it work so well.

 

[jfz80]

That's one hell of a pair of scissors

Fenders look good. You plan to fill in the wedges and that lower section in the inner fender or just run as is?

 

[Apounder]

Welding a strip of metal in rear to make up for gap, Have not decided on front :/

 

[Apounder]

UPDATE: added a 3in shifter extension to transfer case lever, so much easier to use.

 

[Apounder]

UPDATE: rear bump stop extensions

No rubbing with the 40s!
