Here is a better picture of what I mean. seems like any rocker I would need to cut to fit, but it still may be a better option than hanging the heavy corners. The Smittybilt corners though mate right up with their rockers I have on.
Since purchasing the full doors from craigslist I've been meaning to get the locks rekeyed so I can just have one key for the jeep. So I removed the panels using the tips in this thread.

Worked like a champ. Then you just reach in and slide the clip towards the door hinge that holds the lock in. Very easy to remove and I'll have the locksmith at work rework the tumblers so my key locks and unlocks them. Nice cheap and convenient modification. Also had to snap pictures of the headlight plug on the wiring harness so I can replace it. The hi-beam wire snapped right at the plug while replacing the headlights. Also looking to find the cigarette lighter plug on the harness for an 03+ since I put an 05 dash in my 97' the plug doesn't work. The plugs on the back of the 97-02 3 switch panel is different from the 03-06 4 switch bezel.

Well got the locks rekeyed and back in the doors, really easy and love being able to just have one key.
Painted my riddler cover for the 35 with my favorite paint (Rustoleum bedliner) thinking about making the logo red.
Got both the Smitty Bilt XRC seats in. Not a perfect fit but they work, just rub on the roll cage some.
Garage is filling up with spare Jeep parts, time for some Craigslist selling
So drove the Jeep to work today to have my door windows tinted. Upon arriving at work and parking the Jeep immediately noticed a problem. Fluid dripping from the front diff, but turned out to be tranny fluid. Lines going from tranny up to radiator had rubbed a hole in one line and it was everywhere. So a quick fix of cutting out the hard line where the hole was and replacing with some tranny hose fixed it. Would have replaced with a new line but with thoughts of a 4BT going in the Jeep not real interested in spending money on things I will be doing away with. Then got the front windows tinted, love it.
So much more to do, but little by little it keeps getting better.
