As most of you know, Moby took on a considerable amount of body damage during the 2014 JK-Experience. Specifically, the A-Pillar and B-Pillar got hit as well as both the front and rear doors along the passenger side. While the damage to the pillars wasn't too bad, both doors got crumpled in pretty good and the rear window got blown out. Here's a shot of what it looked like...
Anyway, rather than try and have them repaired (which can cost quite a bit), we decided to start looking for a set of doors from a junk yard. Fortunately, with a Jeep, doors are pretty easy to swap out and if you can find them in the color you need, you don't even have to paint them! So, after doing some looking around, Cindy found a rear door in great condition and thanks to Adam and Moochie for picking it up at a salvage yard in San Diego, Moby now has a new donor rear door. All we have to do is pick it up
Shot of what it looks like...
Here it is on Smokey ready for transport...
We've found several front doors in good shape but none in white. If nothing else, we'll pick one of them up and just have it painted. Anyway, Moby is well on the way to looking just like new again and sooner than later.
