Door Opening Attachments That Limit Door Overtravel

[FloridaAKM]

Does anybody here have any pictures or information on the anchor bases & the nylon strap that limits the amount of travel on the doors of the A1 LMTV trucks. I do not think that the A0 has this feature. A set was offered to me & I can't quite figure out how it attaches to the truck side without drilling the dash to accept the double sided reinforcing plates.

I would love a picture and some measurements of them I live in a windy area and could use something like those on mine.

Here is a picture of it out of the box. It is missing a bolt that holds the strap to the door anchor, but that will be found later on. This addition, I have never seen before a few days ago. There are also a couple of handles to pull your self into the cab that came with the package!

I recognize those from the lsa armord cab it would be a good addition for mine when I'm opening the door in a 40mph wind

was able to modify my A0 door limiter to work good again. Issue on mine seemed to be that one end could slide up over head of bolt (something like that. dont recall exactly).. allowing arm to come out of slide.... and even if not come "all" the way out... still open to far and hit cab.

Strategic placement of washers to make it so it could no longer slip past things and this solved the issue. That was hmm.. 2 yrs ago now?

PS- keep in mind the A1 system adds a brace to the side of the dash. Believe it is both internal to days and external brace plate. Not sure if their is access to do that on the A0. Others hopefully chime in to verify. Nut-serts might solve access issue maybe if there is no internal brace..... if there is an internal added brace.. maybe could put nut-sert in that... and use that brace as the nuts on the end..... no need to get wrench in there that way.

If you put a bunch of red tacky grease in the slot on the bottom of the door you will be pleasantly surprised mine was awful now its quite and works like a cadillac !

I never have seen the actual "kit". Even the A0 trucks that went back thru BAE for refresh didn't get them afaik. I've just not seen a retrofit done.

What the OP had appears to be a takeoff from an A1.

That said, a quick trip to the fab shop and a visit to a canvas place (to stitch up a strap) and....done.
