Has any one had issues with door fit and/or alignment after some pretty hard knocks on their boulder bars? All was fine until I started down from Wheeler Lake and had some pretty jarring hits on my boulder bars on both sides that made the bars hit the vertical strip of metal attached to the rocker panels. When we stopped to fix Corbin's wheel I noticed some severe gaps between the top of my doors weather stripping and the body. The doors can still close but there is a noticeable gap on top and tighter on the bottom between both doors and between the doors and body. The frame appears to be fine, no alignment issues, so I am a bit confused. Maybe the bars hitting the body caused the body to move or ??? But wouldn't the doors move with the body ?? I haven't checked the body mounts yet. Door hinges are fine. I'll try to get some pics up in a day or so.

Thanks,

I've hit my amigo pretty solidly quite a few times over the years and have never noticed and door alignment issues. There's gotta be something that came loose in the hinge area, I can't see hitting the boulder bars hard enough to do what you are experiencing...

The doors hinges didn't slip. After loosening the hinges to adjust you can tell they haven't moved from the years of dust and dirt build up. Adjusting the hinges helped some but the gaps are still out of tolerance and noticeable. After taking a few measurements I can say the body is listing to the right by almost 3/4 of an inch. The body mounts appear to be intact. But after looking at Steve G's mount that tore thru I should probably look at them from the top. I have been thinking of doing a slight body lift for awhile now, so maybe nows the time and I could possibly fix this issue also ?
