Ill be waiting for them when I get back from Lowes.
Youre right though.
It will have straps on it to compliment my nack, and if Camp want to make real ones, he is welcome to this design.
However, Im thinking Ill use smaller straps than the Nack (which I believe utilizes 4") , though Im not really that far along yet. Also, these wont support strapping a whole lot of additional weight to them, and the webbing wont be sewn together tightly like my Nack....just interwoven and riveted.
Since my Nack stays on year 'round though, Id like the doors to fit well without clashing with the rest of it.

thanks, man.
It feels good.
Ive been drawing/ designing lots of concept JK parts....fenders, doors, light bars, roof racks, bumpers, etc....but most will have to wait until the day when I can get the equipment needed to make them. My plan was to get everything when I sold all of thge equipment from the tattoo studio, and start a little business....but weve had to use every bit of that money to live off of while waiting for Alishias job thing to go through.
Things are looking up though. At least Im working again, and Ill have the Tonka back today,
and theres no mud anywhere near where I live.
lol.
