    I have the bumper off because I'm fitting a Ramsey winch between frame rails.

    Yes I have all the doors. The back one slides up om a track and latches. I can supply pictures & dimensions. Do you have the closure piece above the windshield?
    Side doors are in good shape but I will never mount them as they at so ugly. I am in California and have fitted a pair of besttop vinyl doors.
    This top and doors were original equipment on this jeep.
    BFG 235 75 R15 on 10" reversed rims.

    Yes, I do have the closure piece. This jeep looks a little funny. My doors look like this, rotted at the bottom.
    This jeep has some TIRES on it.
    I was wondering how your jeep looked like with the doors u modified for it. I may elect to do that instead of fixing the sheet metal doors.

    Thanks!!!!

    All my photos are too large of files to easily upload. Send me your email and I will send photos that way. Soft doors look good.

    try this;
    open your picture so u can see it on the screen.
    at the top of the tool bar it should say 'edit', click on this
    a box will open up giving u options for editing the picture, select the 'resize' and click on it.
    u should now see box with resize options, u have to select the drop down arrow to see the different sizes u can change to
    select the '640 by 480" size then click ok.
    when u exit the edit u will have to save.

    Now u will be able to upload these to website where you will have the option of using a thumbnail or full size, use full size.

    Once I discovered this all the aggravation went out of posting pictures.

    Yeah, but then I loose my hi res file or end up with two files of the same picture. I put the door on a jack to see how I liked it. I didn't. IMG_20151003_100704437_HDR-1.jpg

    Here is the soft door. It doesn't follow the upper rear frame of the hardtop but it looks OK. And this is California, who needs doors anyway? IMG_20160210_132820297-1.jpg

    I don't think it looks too bad with the hard doors. Wish I was closer, I would try to buy them.
    Is there any rust on the bottom of doors, are fully functional/
    Was the modification to the best top doors pretty easy?

    thanks for your info.

    I don't want to sell them as they were original equipment on this jeep and should go with the jeep to the next "custodian".
    Very little surface rust inside. None outside. This is California!
    These are older best top doors. You need the top hinge piece and the track on the edge of the windshield.
    The latch needs to be moved and modified. I will take some photos.
    Hard part will be finding used doors. I think I paid $150 plus shipping.

    I have the hinge hardware, I'll start looking for the doors. In the late 60's I was in high school and my dad had a jeep just like mine with same hardtop.
    Thanks for all the info.
    Where did you get rims??

    Tomellen, , that's my jeep that Greevesman posted the pic of. Those tires were on jeep when I bought it, PO had a 3in hockey puck lift on body. I'm slowly restoring the jeep back to original looking, I will never run these tires, but haven't bought the tires I will run yet.
    I kinda like the doors, but I need to find rubber seals for them. Since this pic I have worked on bottom of doors and rebuilt them, just don't have a pic on pc. if you have any questions I'll try to answer and take pics if you need them.
