Thanks for posting this! Totally did the trick. No need to remove striker (even though I already did one side at that point).

Doors are on and latch!

Thanks guys! So far, a ton of fun to work on old iron. More addicting than wrenching on the JK if that's possible.

Looks great! Impressive that you can get two car seats in there lol Glad you got the doors on. The red might be a bit much, but it's not as bad as I expected... you could just paint the Scrambler to match the doors

Doors will go black this weekend probably. Long term, strip it all down to bare metal except for maybe the bed because it's already lined and looks great. Then paint body/doors bright orange or something.

Looks like YJ soft uppers don't fit CJ8 windshield so I'll be replacing those with some new ones come Fall. If anyone needs soft uppers, for a YJ, let me know.

Take it wheeling before you paint it up all pretty

Should be an adjustment on the uppers, usually a collar that stops how far down they go in to the lower part.

Now that I have half doors, working on the limiting strap catches. They came with the Jeep, but we're in rough shape.

Take off this old bracket


Here are the catches that needed some love


Cleaning them up
