I had a bunch of guys over from my club last night. We had a bonfire and cooked hot dogs etc. I set up a projector and sound system and watched movies outside. Once my kids went to bed we stayed up til 2:30 am watching Top Gear on the projector. It was a fun time just chilling out and relaxing with a great group of guys.

 

Heres some pics

 

 

That looks like a great time!!!

 

Ya we had FUN!! didn't really DO much just sit around and chill out. it was really fun tho.

 

We got the opportunity to go camping,canoeing,and my son and I rode dirt bikes together,my Yamaha rt100 is no match for tjs kx65,he would get in front of me and pepper me with rocks!!!that bike has so much power!!!

 

Sounds like a great weekend!! I got to go to the Notre Dame vs Rice football game and then had the bonfire yesterday. I am really glad I have Monday off to recover before I go back to work. lol

 

Here are my 40 dollar doors....


destined to become half doors...

 

Sweet!!

 

nice score on the doors! I wish I could find a set for $40!

 

So I am looking for some info on building the half doors. how low how the handles work etc etc. I have looked thru some threads. anybody half any info or help? I really curious about how far to cut from the top of the door to cut out. etc. any extra help would be great

 

$40 is a good deal! The handle can be moved to either the side or the now top.. wherever really. You can even just have it on a pull stirng. Take the inter panel of the door off, then youll be able to see how they work.

Cut how low they work for you. You want to be able to lean out, while still protecting your self.

Im thinking of sitting in the truck and measuring from the window sill to the top of my thigh and make the cut at that point. It should offer enough protection and be low enough to lean out. Thoughts?


Thanks for the link. Sweet pictures!!

 

I got some work done on the half doors today. I think it turned out pretty good. I will keep working on them tomorrow. Here's the pictures......

 

Well my plan was to have a casual day and get some work done on the door. and occasionally watch some football. 5 minutes after lunch and during the first qtr of the first game of the day I got a phone call. From the police. Someone had broke into a relatives house and they needed to get a hold of them. So I got to spend the rest of the day at the police station and repairing windows and doors as well as installing a security system. It was not what I wanted to be doing today.


On a good note. A neighbor called the police about the burglary and the police caught the guy still in the house. So it will be an open and shut case. Everything has been "repaired" and no one was hurt. So things could have been worse. But it definitely not fun

 

Nice work on the doors,sorry to here about the burglary,at least they caught them.

 

Well its been a long month of work. crazy hours and travel at work. Combined with trying to get some fall clean up and winter prep done on the house and all of that means that not much has got done on the truck. I did pick up a small tool box last weekend and installed it this weekend. I think it looks better than my old cut down box.






Hopefully things will slow down a little at work and I can get some work done during the week instead of just Saturday or Sunday

 

I also checked all the tire pressure and cleaned out and vacuumed the truck. it felt good to do some little things. I need to do it more often

 

I like how your half doors are turning out, nice work! I also like the toolbox, looks good!

 

Thanks!!!
