@Vladthemad Nice! What part of Texas? I'm in Helotes

Hi Les,
Found some pics of the Rear door fitment.

It is the same method I used to convert my lift gate to a side opening door. There is a metal strip at the bottom of the door that protects the bottom seal. If you taper that strip you do not need to open the door far enough to completely clear the tailgate to drop the tailgate.

Thanks for the clarity, so this does not rattle any more than stock style?

Newly acquired series III. Drove to Nebraska and hauled it back to Texas with a friend. Has some mechanical issues, but nothing too major that I've noted. Doesn't seem to have too much rust, although it looks like someone has fixed some spots here and there. It does seem to be missing about 50% of the bolts required to hold the body together though! It was basically a farm truck.

I just replaced the wheels and tires, and took this pic.

Here are some photos: Rear right, rear right where it connects to the frame; front left where it connects to the frame and finally a halogen interior light built into the front of the roll cage so there is internal light when needed in soft top configuration. This was professionally built and installed. Hi lift jack attached to the front cross bar - very convenient.

Just a couple of series two hinges hold it on.
internal rods hold it closed.
I have gold hold of the original Cat Flap hinges and stay rods to put it back to original opening.

Unusual side opening top tailgate. How does that work?

Hi 2roverlabs,
Any pics of the full roll cage, you could pm me.
Thanks

Also new swinging tail gate (not drop down) was added when I removed the hard top. 67k miles. Need to fix a rear wheel hub seal. Also want to add an electric fuel pump.

Easier to see the world at 40mph. [ATTACH=CONFIG]11206[/ATTACH]

Beautiful patina.

Beautiful color. Check out Ike Goss's restoration in grey on the Pangolin 4x4 site. It has body color wheels, in grey, gorgeous!

I know, that's how I found this color!
