those doors kick  did you just cut the front of another door off and box it in?

[86bobbedtoy]

[Kentucky Jelly]

This thing is going to be so sweet!  Excellent work.

nope, they're made from some plate cut to the profile of the body and a short section of a door skin i had around just to cover up the hinges

[Caboose]

So i have to ask, what do you think would have been easier and worth the money, doing a custom 4 door cab or importing one from australia for $6k? SICK job btw.

For me it still would have been easier doing it this way, and I was able to build it the way I wanted as far as leg room goes. It's been a ton of work and a lot of down time but I think it will be worth it and i'm excited to get it back on the road and the trail again

Quick question, for a stock sun roof on a 2nd gen, does anyone have a picture of what the brackets look like that hold in these hinges in place on the inside, i need to know what to look for or what to fabricate if i can't find them
thanks for any help

best pic i have

for sure man, we'll have to find you another mini to work on when you're back

a little update, decided to add a kick panel/splash guard type thing to the tube doors, just got the back one completely finished and now on to the front

[86bobbedtoy]

cant fall out!!
great idea,

bling bling

[Talon84x4]

cant fall out!!

exactly, once i got them welded up and sat in the cab i realized how big that gap was and how easy it would be to loose stuff without some kind of kick panel

[86bobbedtoy]

yeah cans of beer tend to always roll and hit the door               

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Those tube doors are sick!!!

[Yota87Truck]

Those tube doors are sick!!!

X2  Killer looking tube doors!  That's one of my biggest problems with tube doors.

[Talon84x4]

thanks guys

the doors are all finished up


cheap mirrors from o'reilly


made some simple latches, they hold tight and don't rattle so i'm happy with them






and one more for good measure

[zippo]

Crazy nice.

[Yota87Truck]

I like that the bed has the same lines as the doors (slanted upward).

Looks crazy awesome!

[THK Matt]

[Zs Confederate Toy]

[pumkin toy]

[Talon84x4]

thanks guys

looking great man!  whats left before you can take it for a drive?

i've got to get it insured and registered again, it's been non opp'd for the last 6 months. I also have to smog it get it reg'd so...i'm going to get some temporary tags because that could take a while, i've never been able to pass the first time, i've passed the second time only once, the rest have been 3 or more

[46&2]

Wow, looks absolutely amazing. 

I have the same problem with smog, always have to tweak it several times to get it to pass.

[deans87]

go to the place in tulare behind the water park on mooney he works wonders and if you dont pass you only have to pay the one time and can test as many times you want til passes.  its a hole in the wall but it works

I like how you covered the bottom of the tube doors. I was told it is okay to drive without doors as long as items on your floorboard are unable to roll and fly out of the vehicle while driving. This is why FJ40s and Jeeps have that lip or edge between the door seal and the floorboard. Nice job!
