Do you have the DIY on that Dolly?

@Wkyfiregladdy just asked me about this in another tread.

I built mine based on plans posted by @361Sean - here is the link he shared:

https://www.instructables.com/id/4-door-Jeep-Wrangler-Door-Rack/

I made some tweaks this weekend to narrow the ends in hope of storing all the doors vertically. It works if I tie two doors together. I had them outside, did not tie one set of doors together and I had a rear door tip off the cart due to wind. I should have wheeled them in the garage as soon as I took them off - but I was busy fitting my trail doors. Luckily no major damage, will just need touch up paint on the door edge in two places.

That short bottom length of the rear door makes it awkward and a bit off balance. I will now keep my rear doors horizontal on the cart.

Mounted a set of Warn trail doors this weekend as well. The Mrs. feel much more comfortable with the trail doors on vs doorless. I really do like these doors:

I also installed a set of Carolina Metal Masters trail mirrors:

These mirrors will keep me “legal” when I am completely doorless. I also have a set of 03-06 textured Wrangler mirrors on the way that fit up direct to the Warn trail doors. We’ll see how they work when they get here.

To bad Sunstoppers around my way in Concord NC do crappy work. I'd never take anything to any Sunstoppers ever again based on my experience at that one, left a bad taste in my mouth. The wrap does look great though. I have been looking for something like that for the hood.

You may want to check Sunstoppers in Rock Hill. Greg has done good work for me. I think they are independently owned franchises. Could be worth the trip from Concord.

I went to Sunstoppers in LKN based on the recommendation of them down in Rock Hill and they sent me to Charlotte Vehicle Wraps by the flea market right on the state line. They did a great job and reasonably priced as well.

Parked Samson in the garage Friday and Saturday (waiting on Rain Gear gets their cover back in stock). Moved the Mrs. BMW outside... I had to take off the hitch to get the garage door to close and still only had about 2-inches clearance. Bumped the gas a bit hard and now have a small dry wall fix thanks to the Factor55 Ultra Hook Rope Guard.

Put doors back on today. Started with the rear doors. I think the trail doors look good even with the rears installed.

Really like those WARN trail doors.

Thanks. The more I look at them the more I like them too. The front trail doors have a tubular arm rest that is comfortable. Warn did a good job on the design of these. As stupid as it is, I like being able to lock the doors.

It would at least make it harder for someone to just unbolt and walk away with your fancy tube doors.

Not a huge mod, but bought a matching LE wheel from a fellow forum member. Took it to @Discount Tire and had them swap the tire on the spare plus install an OEM TPMS. Now I will be doing five tire rotations. Figure that is the best way to get some use on that spare.

Discount Tire always does great work.

What's the width on the LE wheels? Are they the same dimension as the OEM wheels you removed?

Yes. Same width as the stock Rubicon wheels.

Swapped out my soft top for my hard top and took the time to install all of my new @Invictus Off Road Molle. This is heavy duty stuff, well done! Now to get a few bags to hang... I added the Invictus center sound bar wrap, swapped out all four grab handles for the Invictus grab handles and mounted their Mille panels on my freedom panels (all in Coyote). Looks great with my brown leather interior.

I have missed adding a few updates, but I’ll catch up.... last week I bought a @Max Modular Steel 18-inch rack from a fellow forum member. It had 4 Baja Design S2 Sport light mounted on it. I just ordered the needed wiring harness for the lights (Covid delayed). In the mean time, I mounted a Yakima MegaWarrior basket to the rack. The fit is great, used all the original hardware and was able to use the factory locks. Turns out these baskets are part of a Toyota 4Runner package. Bought one from a local guy that was included with his new 4Runner. Was able to remount my tonneau cover today. I have a bit more sealing work to ensure it is waterproof (probably 90% right now). A friend of mince gave me a set of replica ‘47 hood ornaments that fit perfect on the rack.
