so i just finished taking my doors off the front and after some wheeling and high speed on road driving id like to have a little more than just a large hole in my jeep haha.

my tube bender is out of commission at the moment so im limited.

im thinking about either finding some s10 blazer tire carriers, ive seen it done with them.

or possible rigging some TJ tube doors, my friend will give them to me.

has anybody tried this with TJ doors before??

 

ive held soft doors up to mine from a yj and there would be pretty close and could be modified easily to fit. <-------- if that helps

 

nice. ill give it a try soon.

now i just hve to figure out how to make all my electronics work when the doors not on. aka overhead lights, radio, etc.

 

how about some 1/2 steel rod bent in form of the door.. then just cover it.. ?

 

I went with the spare tire carriers myself and am very happy with them.

 

thats cool, i havn't seen tire carriers used before. thats a good idea

 

that looks good debating on putting some on my trail truck or just leaving the doors off .....can you send me some better pics of it like latch ideas and maybe how you made the hing.... krucked_club@yahoo.com

 

im gonna start working with the TJ safari doors next weekend. im also starting my ammo box console and rear cargo box to keep some of my stuff safe now that i have no doors lol

 

They were from late 90's chevy s10 blazers. They were really easy to make. I bought 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 angle to use for the hinge and that's what the tire carrier is welded to. I really don't have any better pics of the hinge right now. But it's just the angle with little tabs on the inside with 1/4 steel dowel rod as the hinge pins.

The latch and the handle were reused from the tire carrier. I just moved them to where I needed. And I needed to make the rod that connects them. The angled bar on it was just moved from where it was originally. I just stuck it there because I thought it looked good there.

Here's a couple more pics.

 

ok man thanks

 

I just built these ones.

 

That's a very serious looking door.

 

i built these with prebent peices of conduit for about 40 dollars for both of them

 

How are you latching them?

 

i used little gate latches from lowes like these

u just welded them to the door and they close on the original striker pin
