also, i still need to fab up my cup holder, storage net box, and inside door handle...oh and bedline it to match the jeep
the latch works by just pushing down on the handle

I think they look awesome. I might do the same cept use some material to cover the frame as soft doors. As for the latch goes couldnt you make it so that you have to pull up on it for to unlatch? That way you wouldnt have the issue with unlatching them with your arm hanging out the window.
