I am not being critical, just asking because it's different from my experience, and looks like the long way around the barn.
Are those real or synthetic?
(The half doors)
Metal vs fiberglass

It's the way toyota saw fit to run them for 8 or 9 model years worth of 40s.
The lady that wrapped the steering wheel!
Looks like @Aloha Jen ‘s doors maybe came from the link below? Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Beach Half Doors set - https://sykopaths.com/products/toyota-land-cruiser-fj40-half-doors-set
They’re real and they’re spectacular…16 GA. sheet metal and solidly constructed.
That’s me!
They are from a company called Sykopaths (I think out of Canada). The little lip at the rear, which I believe is for attaching a soft top window frame, is pretty far back and I never hit my elbow on it. As far as the plates, I got some connects out here on my Island.I was kinda thinking the same. What half doors are those.
Does your elbow hit that lip often?
One more question. How did you get that plate in Hawaii
You are correct, they came from them. They look great now, but had quite a few fitment problems and needed a lot of fab work to make them work. Plus, we welded door limiter tabs to work with OEM limiters, added interior OEM door handles, and some other body work improvements to make them better. I’m not complaining, as they were sent to me for free to test for quality and fitment. Not sure if they ever corrected our suggestions for improvement though. They cleaned up nice and we painted to match body color. Here are some pics:
@Aloha Jen are the port openings on the inside open to the floor or are there “shelves” in those storage pocket openings?
I applaud you man, living the life. You can never have too many surfboards or land cruisers.

Surfboards and Cruisers would be a good cruiser meet up theme.
@Aloha Jen I cant remember on your build, what tailgate did you use? Thanks!
Love the Seinfeld reference!
The doors are very nice. Hadn’t heard of that outfit until now.
Finally got her happy into her new spot
Built a manifold out of and old 98 stainless Subaru manifold. Got a solid Garret t3 and all the plumbing for under 230$ Canadian. Had to relocate the air filter and only have 2 feet of down pipe. Cool sounding for a teenager…..But I have a 2.5” exhaust DIY kit coming soon. Built it all in 5 days.
