I just got a new roommate, and he's the type of guy I can party with.

His truck is a beat to **** '95 K1500, but it runs like brand new despite having 301,000 miles on it

Kinda looks like that dude's rig from MT.

So I decided to finally replace my door pins/bushings today, and it didn't go well.

I got the pins out and the door off onto the door Jack. I turned away and heard the horrifying sound of the door crashing into the ground and the glass breaking.
(The window frame got tweaked).

In a fit of rage, I drove the truck with no door to the junkyard and picked up another one. I proceeded to swap over all the internals (it was a power window door) and slap it on the truck).

At least it doesn't sag anymore.

It's going to be a while before I can paint it.

Sorry to hear that, but at least you could get it fixed! That's one of the cool things about this forum community, we can share our hard luck stories with others who understand!

Now I want to see someone do this with all six doors. Bonus points if you stick a Jeep badge on the truck somewhere.

Just read through your whole build, cool truck and good for you for doing it all yourself.
However I vote against the stick chrome. I live in a rust free East Texas and I pulled that junk from the bottom of my doors and most of the paint came off and what’s left is bubbling and gross.

Oh and the truck hadn’t been washed in over a week and there was moisture on the paint and the sticky foam stuff was wet through when I was peeling it off.

I don't know why, but I'm starting to dig the mismatched door a bit.

It's kinda cinematic looking.

Since it's going to be a while until I can get this door painted, I decided to spruce it up a bit by lettering it up.

It’s like a government truck. I dig it.
