Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.

Picked up the doors from the body shop. All laid out on my lawn while I was removing the full doors, lol.


Meant to take a bunch of progress pics, but it's a very involved and time consuming job and I just plain forgot. Apologies.

Mostly done...


Still need to:
-drill hole in each door for power mirror (those are manual mirrors off my dietech kit)
-Cut inner door panel to fit lock/unlock button
-Get cylinders keyed at dealership

I'll add more pics over the weekend, if I have a chance. Didnt get to spend ant time with the wife and kids today because I was working on the doors better part of the day.

Where did you get the half doors and how much were they? They look great!

I ordered them from the dealer. Cost me a little over $4000 in parts. I got 25% employee discount on the parts from my sales person. Otherwise, it would've been $5000. Paint was close to $1000. I assembled them myself so I saved on additional labor.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics but here you go...

Really liking the half doors, might have to look into a set... also that hood really sets the front end off.

Awesome truck! Any pics with the light bar on?

Update:

Took a mirror off one of my full doors to see how the power/heated harness goes into the door...

Marked the half door opening for the cut to be made (wish I would have thought of this BEFORE I had them painted)...

Then, realized I had a uni-bit that was big enough for the plug to fit through...

(I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Now, I gotta remove the inner front full door panels to make a template of the cutout used for the lock/unlock button...

I'm thinking if there is clearance, I'll mount it here...

Edit - double post.
