Had a fun trip to Fishers Island this weekend. Was driving around on my friends new home site and had a run in with a tree. Slippery sidslope around a turn andgot wedged inton a tree which we had to eventually cut down to get free. Started out as a great little trip on his 10 acres. here are the pics

When we got back we tried pullign the dent out, which didnt work too well. I then took off the inside panel to try and hammer it out, but couldnt get to the dented part. THe window was also not clising all the way which was a problem. So we took my winch line and fed it though the hole where the door handle was and tied it to a wrench. We then snatch blocked it off a tree and used my winch to pull the dent out some. This actually worked pretty well and we can now close the window all the way and it is not dented as badly. the door handle was broken off so we tied a string to where the handle shoudl attach to. THearetically this should have worked, except that when we tried to open the door, the lever and bolt broke off. We then attached the string to the lever that the inside handle is attached to. THis worked well, but it also unlocks the door, but my alarm still works.
so my options are, try to fix the door, get a new one or take them all off and start the process of an open aired trail truck,. anyoen have a green d2 door available?

RIGHT. Yeah they are supposed to do that, and they work great, but the tree was curved in so my sliders didnt work. I also used my rack as a slider for some parts.

Where about on Fisher's? I used to go there a lot. Stayed at the "Round House" by Hay Harbor. Went fishing all over the Island.
