Half door designs I'm looking at. Probably going to cut off the window frame and add in an o-shit bar/handle.

This weekend should see some work on the trailer also. I picked up two good mobile home brake axles and 6 new tires/rims for $200; so I'm ready to get started on it.

I'd leave the winding frame in tack until you get it totally finished so that it will stay plum.

Those doors actually don't look that bad. But I'll stick with toobz.

x2 for the toobz.. I've had my rig laying on my tube doors and they hold up a shit-ton better than sheetmetal, not matter what you brace them with.

With some reinforcement they will be better than nothing; but I'm going to prefer to not lay my rig on the doors that often.

It hit so hard it knocked the headlight out!

LMAO... since I've already landed on my driver's door once I am a little nervous about taking them off; but I figure what the hell. You only live once right?

Also - what size tires are those in the pic?

Man take em off... pull the hard top.. add a bikini top and tube doors. Fawk it!! It will be lighter and less top heavy. :)

Sidewall says 38x12.50-15.. but they measure out to be just a butt hair under 37".. they are aired down quite a bit though.

I'm already running topless and I'll be doorless at Tolar this weekend. I don't feel like putting the doors back on when I'm going to start measuring to cut them pretty soon. I'm going to have to work on a bikini top of some sort before this summer also.

4xInnovations sells some slick door hinges that allow you to swap back and forth. I didn't get them because I'll never put doors on it. But you could probably make your own.

I've been looking at where people cut the top portion of the top bolt hole on the hinge. This way they can swap the doors pretty quick and easy. The setup is also pretty cheap.

This sucks... I have a couple things I want to do to the rig but I'm too broke to do any of them yet.
