Never before owning a CJ would I have thought I'd be so happy to buy doors. Now with the cold spell, I can't wait for the door strikes to get here.
Was relieved to find out that the occasional mysterious thud was due to the windshield frame and not the tranny / drive-line.

I would be very interested to know which striker posts you get and how you set them up. Bought half doors for mine and need the same mod. There are two types out there and I'm not sure which to use.

I would be a huge fan of anyone that could find a well designed replacement for the Bestop door strikes. they are quite literally a PITA.
What's all this "door" talk about. It was 48* out this morning , bikini top and no doors. No door talk till October.

Took it to breakfast, we go to a place were we can have the dog on the patio. No doors as it is over 100 today. The floors get so freaking hot on days like this.
Also got these on the other day.

Got the doors first and then bought Crown 55029454K and 55K. They sent them separately so I only have the passenger side so far. After cleaning up the screw holes, the striker plate went right on. Put the door on and it clicked shut with ease and no problems. Was very pleased.
Was excited about the doors only after 2+ years of waiting.... The cooler weather was only a reminder that I didn't want to freeze this winter for when it gets way down in temperature like to 60 degrees here in beautiful Texas

Put the fenders, grill and hood back on the 7. since my cum-along will not pull the bent frame back into position, need a porta-power or frame straightener.

I know, I am supposed to be spending all my abundant free time and money on the CJ and I feel shame for having strayed from the path to enlightenment . But I have been doing a bit of work on the present incarnation of what this earthling call's "camping". the new trim package smoothed out the ride a lot and the distance between gas pumps just got shorter by a ways. I am wondering if I am still going to get better mileage than the CJ carrying this and pulling the car trailer.

Hmmmm, another words, you've done nothing with your CJ today. Sorry, just being a smart alick, nice big ol' house on the back of your Toyota.
I took my CJ on a short 180 mile trip to Parker Canyon Lake with the boat on top. Was a nice trip, no pictures tough.
