Mad pimpin  :afro2:  I think you'd have some problems if you hi center it.

Well, it doesn't take from the ground clearance, that's cool, but it sure ain't that great if you got someone chasing you and you need to close yer door fast!

i think there would probably be clearance issues with the frame on our old trucks unless you had enough of a body lift. would be really cool though, wonder if i could do that to my blazer?

Look under the car in the video...it has to do something to the clearance.


A plus is...if, like me you are plentiful of waist, getting out of the truck isn't hampered by the goober who parked next to you.

The only thing I can tell is that they put a belly pan on the car....

They must put in a whole new frame setup in them.  Cause the door slides right into where the frame would be!

i think most of those cars are uni-bodies.

so what happens when the motor dies like all power windows? sport no doors when it decides to rain for the first time in a month?
