monstaru Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 besides the fact that you will lose alot of rigidity when you take the rear doors off. they are designed to be part of the puzzle.just be aware of that...cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo'J Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Rain is "supposed" to come tonight. We will be lucky if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 i'm not here to argue, but i can't believe that it is a safe thing to do when you would be losing all of your torsional rigidity that the doors offer. and i can't see a guy opening all four doors at the same time while flexing. there is a difference in opening them, and having them non-existent also....going over bumps,driving over rough areas etc..... just sayin.....just from the weight of the BODY itself, i have jacked up a brat and had it deflect 2 inches from corner to corner.when i was measuring to put that blue brat body onto the toyota frame........anyways. i love the doorless look too.but would at least put a bar between the jambs if i was you.cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo'J Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 There's a lot of weight in them doors!. Wear goggles for the mud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I love having the front doors off, I modified my hinges so all I have to do is pull the pins and off they come, Im going to try to make some Jeep-style hinges when I get a chance after WCSS 11 though because after sitting all winter with mud and sand in them, the pins did NOT want to come out this spring :-\. Personally I dont really like the look of the back doors off, but it would be cool for the passengers -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
