Using a proven wheeling truck with another driving truck, plus more parts.
Happy Birthday! How does it feel to finally be in your 40s?
Judging by a few of those pictures he looks like he is 22 and let his grandpa drive it a few times.
(inside joke from I think BB 18 on the crack and back run?)

Haha, I wish that I was still in my forties.
My birthday present was not making an old joke.
I had to, it looks like in the first few pictures his son is driving. The joke came from them riding with @500$k5 and how well it gets around, I said it was because they were older and more experience. But all Dave heard was old...My birthday present was not making an old joke.
I was going to say something when I saw the driver in the wheeling picture.
So is that you or your son?
Yes, that's my son.
And no @Babaganoosh , back in the old days, some supposedly used a megaphone style cone for a hearing aid. Saw it in a movie or something.

I figured so, was just trying to be funny once again. Way to show you age once again.

Well, now the cone of shame is the one that you can refer me to..
Dang whippersnapper...
And so it is written...
I started on a project that I have been avoiding for years. The passenger window was getting super slow, and I have had a box of new parts waiting for months, many months.
And the door lock solenoid in the right door wouldn't work most of the time. Which was typically the one that I wanted to work!
The channel run rubber seemed good, and I was being cheap, so I didn't order new ones. But I had never found ones that were one piece from the divider bar, up and around the whole window. I didn't get froggy enough to get it out to allow removal of the vent window first, which is how I have always done it. So it took some tinkering to get the window out.
I knew that this truck had some body damage repaired, but I thought that the strings of burn marks from a stud welder was entertaining. It's more proof of why the license plate having "WOJ" fits.

I have more cleaning to do in the left door, then spray some sealer into the bottom of the doors. Then start back together. Having a difficult time not going further and pulling the right door off for more repair and painting the window frame.
It's a wheeling truck..... I tell myself.
Probably going to do the relay modification for the window circuits though..

Going to slap some mat in that door while you got it apart?
I wanted to, but I already spent a decent amount on other stuff, with plans to spend more on front driveshaft and tinting the windows. So I refrained from buying mat for the doors since we have a big year coming up with family events.
Two graduations this spring and then the 2nd kid starts college in the fall.
It's not real loud inside as it is, though.
But you thought the same way as I did! More upgrades are better!

Don't worry about slathering the whole door panel and 100 Mill thick stuff.
Just do a good section of the inside of the door. Just to firm up the sound of the doors. They will closer nicer, keep some sound out and heat and cool better.
Everyone get wrapped up in seeing other guys do the 100% coverage.
10sqft is 25 bucks of Amazon. And that would be enough to do both doors.
Hell, it would be super tough to do it 100% snaking your arms through all the stupid holes on the inner skin anyways.
If nothing else just put a little under the door panel. And not worry about the outer door skin.
