I'm new to the forum but I guess this as good a place as any for my first post. I blew up my tranny last week and since I'm not driving my truck I got bored and took a sawzall to my spare doors and came up with the beginnings of half doors. I'm going to fiberglass them in and add marine speakers but for two hours and a couple beers they don't look horrible... not good lol but not horrible
I picked up a couple interior door handles from an xj to glass into the angled part on the back of the cut out part. If it ever stops raining I'll pull the tarp off of it and take a pic of the mockup I made. And thanks for the welcome
I'll try to keep it updated and remember to take pics along the way I might do a write up if they turn out pretty well. And yeah I'm pretty sure its headed your way, it's pouring here.

You coulda lied to me. I wouldn't mind. (in this case....)
NICE here at the moment..... hopefully, can haul a few more loads of mulch before the weather turns ugly.
Still hot and sunny here. According to theory, the storm should have been here by now, but, looking at the satellite maps, I suspect it is going to miss me entirely.
Moved five loads of wood chips today, borrowed a double axle dump trailer from a friend, and the wood chips were a LOT cheaper than expected, so, instead of two loads, we did five. Truck pulls the trailer pretty nice, even loaded. Would be better if I had a brake controller, but, since I was only going a few miles, on dirt roads, it wasn't really an issue.
The old truck just got T-boned in an intersection. It got home okay, but the other vehicle was totaled -- it hit so hard that the front wheels broke off and the body came away from the frame.
Fortunately it was just an RC car. The fkin idiot driving it said that he tried to brake but the thing didn't slow, so he wicked it to wide open -- as if that makes any sense at all. I guess steering never occurred to him. It hit the right rear wheel, smashed the valve stem cap all the way down to the wheel, and put a couple of divots in the wheel itself. Most of the larger pieces of the RC car rebounded about six feet, with smaller bits almost twice as far. It looked like someone smashed it with a sledgehammer.
He said, "At least I ran into nice people". I replied, "You'd have been better off running into an ******* running cheaper tires". If it proves that the tire is losing air, he's out $189 plus taxes, fees, and blah-blah, plus fuel for the round trip to the tire store in another town. Poor dumb bastud.
put in a hayden Aux cooler, magnefine filter, regular filter and fluid change, drain plug on stock pan, and eliminated the check valve. fortunately no leaks at all.

You only lost (maybe) a tire? No body damage? Couple wheel dents?
