Harness bar is in, so now I can finally ditch the OE belt and install the harnesses.

3" stainless snorkel, I can open the door all the way and fold the windshield down flat. I will end up cutting and tilting the snorkel over to follow the inward contour of the windshield frame for a closer fit. I forsee it being an issue with low handing branches

Snorkel finished and doors hung. Still need to work out the latch and close the cab fully in, but she's coming together, and looks pretty good.

You did lots of work, but you have it looking very good.
Talk about the doors a little. I do not remember reading about them at all.
What are your plans for a Heater? Closing it in, I am sure that a Heater is on your list.

I have a diesel heater, but not sure if I want to hard mount it in. Takes up a lot of space. I have Milwaukee pack out boxes on the fender wells, and a winch mounted in the tub. So I'm probably going to install a Mohave heater under the dash and insulate the cab.

Not a fan of snorkels but I’m digging the snorkel done up in stainless vs plastic. Well done. Should be able to take abuse and look good as well.

They're pretty useless unless you need it. Unfortunately up here, it's a necessity if you plan on going anywhere unfamiliar. Lots of deep water. Almost lost my Rzr this past summer due to water.

I hear that. Most folks run them for looks only. Y’all definitely have more extreme conditions than us in the lower 48. myself, if I need a snorkel I’m just not gonna do the trail. Don’t wish to deal with the fall out and maintenance involved in playing submarine. But i definitely understand why y’all need it up there.

There's still plenty of phony people up here. Mostly military guys who expected something else in their head prior to PCSing up here. Most people are afraid to take their brand new Toyota or Jeep off road into our silty water crossings. I would be too. That's why I have the Rzr and Roxor.
