Just got of the phone with Shaffer's Offroad. These guys are located in Carson City, Nevada. They are EXTREMELY interested in making a set of 4runner tube doors for our 3rd gens.

I completely assured him there is such a market for these, the only problem being guidance. People will post up homebrewed tube doors without any further leads which puts everyone at a dead end. I figured this one may get more hits than 4xInnovation's because of the location..

So as I stated in the other thread and this title, anyone in the Carson City area willing to lend their vehicle to these guys to get specs/measurements would be awesome. I will give whoever helps jumpstart this undertaking by lending their rig a $100 discount on their set. I asked for a floor quantity of possible customers and he said 10. Obviously, no final prices can be determined until they actually have them made, but as a reference their 2nd gen doors go for $299 a set. Thanks, and let's make this happen!

Like I said, I'm not in the need for any, but I know a guy who really wants a set of tube doors...on all 4 doors that is.

Let me know how this turns out.

I might be in, but $299 per set sounds somewhat steep, considering 4x4 innovations has the 2nd gen doors for $200 a set. Plus I'd want all 4 doors.

set=4 doors
pair=2 doors

Sorry to go off topic... but I don't see any 2nd Gen 4Runner doors listed on their site, as a set or pair.

They show some for 84-88 vehicles as well as Tacomas. I have a 2nd Gen, and I like to see about getting a set of tube doors for it.

Any link to what I am missing?

Hmmmm.......Tube doors.

This could lighten the body weight a significant amount.....
Could provide better protection from those nasty obstacles....
Air Conditioning would be a moot point with these.....
$100 bucks off for a donor rig......(I'm thinking this should be a free set, but that's just my opinon)
I live in Santa Fe, which is 1079 miles from Carson City, NV; which equates to about 17 hours of driving.....
I have a tube bender in my garage and some tubing on a shelf.....

Unless they are willing to come get my 4Runner and trailer it back to Carson city, and have it back to me by a specific time, it won't be my rig that will be providing the measurements. If they were closer, mabye 1078.5 miles, well then of course!

yeah right......

yeah, I though when you said a set, that meant 2, not 4.

But at $299 for a set of 4, that aint bad at all!

Just confirm, b/c their site lists the 1st Gen 4Runner tube doors going for $299...and that's only 2 doors.

I highly doubt schaffer's is going to sell a set of 4 doors for less than the cost of labor and steel to make them.
