i used the peices of the hinges that i cut off my doors on the passenger side and then just some bolts the same size for hinges and then for the latch i used a little fence gate latch type deal. like this and it closes on the factory striker pin thing i just threw away the little bar peice that comes with the latches. they ran me 3 bucks a peice
