Removable Doors

[av8rnik]

Has anyone considered modifying the door hinges to make them removable so you can drive around doors off? I have been contemplating it. I was thinking about the possibility of pulling the door off and replacing the pin in the hinge.

You can just unbolt the hinge.

you can mode the hinges so to make the doors lift off so to be easy on easy off

 

[av8rnik]

Yeah, but I was thinking of replacing the pin with something that can just be pulled when I want to take them off. A little quicker and simpler than unbolting the hinges every time.

Is there a thread here detailing that? Or somewhere else, would like to see what others have done. Thanks.

Diy4x has a super cool tube door.

This is my dd so I still want to retain the use of the regular doors.

Did the upgrade this weekend using the guidance in post above. Went smoothly, no issues and definitely worth the $20 in parts and 3 hours i spent doing it. Doors are a little heavy and awkward to get on/off by yourself, but can be done but easier with two people.

I didnt replace the bushings because the original ones stayed in the hinge piece, just followed the steps detailed and have removable doors now.

Gonna have to look into this! Great idea when wheeling. The tube doors would be slick

What's the point of tube doors? Not knocking, just curious why people choose to put them on.

To me they offer great visibility off road and that added comfort of keeping you from falling out!

Now for to find a removable roof, they did make them.
Then maybe a one piece front end?
