I really like those hinges Rockstomper sells, sure beats messing with bushings...

Nice job. How did you do the corners under the rear quarter panels? What kind of latch is that?

Thanks,
RR3

The latch is a stainless steel flush mount like you would find on a utility truck box door, has a lock which is kinda nice since my rear gate lock is busted. Works really smooth.

Here's a pic of the corners, just filled in the area under the taillights. My rockers are cut so I wasn't sure if I wanted to extend it to the fenderflare or what so I stopped there. Figure I can always make a piece that works as a rock rail back there if needed.

Heyyy, very clean job. That looks awesome! :beer:

If you could post some closeups of how you installed that latch, that would also be awesome. :smokin:

That's pretty solid? Doesn't rattle around much? I'd never thought of that possibility... seems like a cool idea.
