    I think you can pick up some lexan for the windshield for WAY cheaper than buying a new windshield...

    You'll regret not losing the doors right off the bat...

    Also, you won't have any of those bed bars right? I thought it was a flatbed?

    it is a flat bed, but i like the idea of a cage that still follows the outline of the bed. i think it'll look purty sweet to have an all tubular bed.
    i want the doors.

    Nix - the way you off-road that thing, the unprotected doors will end up being rendered un-useable on the first trip you take. If you really want to keep them I would say build some sort of hinged protection for them. Don't really know how that would work though...

    well... the idea was sorta to just cut off all the frame work above the window base
    viola! half doors
    but i still have doors and functional windows...
    then i make it so the windows roll up and meet weatherstrip on the cage
    i'm an evil genius

    keep the doors

    just take them off like the toyota folk do. and maybe throw a brace in there so its got some sort of cab stiffener, the hollowed out door shell probably won't be enough.

    no, not hollowed out- they'll be the same as now... just from the window frame up i'll cut the door pillars off...
