Made some Half Doors



Made these this past winter, first run with them was the Armed Forces Day Parade in Bremerton with the 4x4 club I'm in, The Quadrapaws!

why can't you be in PA or at least near it, I want someone to make me some for mine. haha.

IMHO I think this kind of half door style is the best. Other than tube doors. But these ones tend to keep the mud out more.

Good job BTW

I used the stock latch, moved the handle, and used the rod from the lock, the length was perfect. Just had to cut out a small enough space to fit the handle in and screwed it down.




Used some scrap aluminum to panel the inside, still need to clean it up a bit, but very pleased with how it came out.

thats a nice way to do it.. im gonna have to keep that in mind during my halfie build..

i think it would be awesome if you can rig the rods to the mirrors.. so you pull on the mirror and she opens.. also some cupholders ofcourse
