Hey all, I wanted to pick everyone's brain for a possible small project I've been thinking about.
I recently swapped my CBI bedrack for a Leer 100R. I got a great price on it, and it was used so I didn't have to deal with waiting. Problem is, it came with sliding windows on the sides and I'm tossing around the idea of swapping them out for the windoors.
Part 1: Replacing them looks easy enough but I can't find anything on the windoor "replacement." I figured if I could just buy the whole assembly and just swap it in, saving some money and headaches instead of dealing with stealerships or truck cap places. However I can't, for the life of me, find anything on the internet on replacement assemblies. Wondering if anyone has ever done anything similar with their 100R and can give any advice/thoughts/comments.
Part 2: This is where things get spicy. A buddy and I were thinking about taking the windoor, removing the glass, and replacing it with a similar thickness sheet of aluminum. This will allow for mounting gear on the outside (thinking about my maxtrax specifically) and smaller gear inside, on the windows, out of the elements. This part obviously cant happen without the first part but at this point I'm actually thinking this will be the easier challenge of the two. Would love to hear peoples thoughts on this as well!
