i was wondering if anyone out there put half doors or tube doors on a sr5 truck or 4Runner. i want something like that when i take to roof off but i have power windows, locks and mirrors so i wanted to know what everyone did with the wiring.

 

Quick disconnects..?

Splice, connect a male/female to each side...

 

I'd bet you'll find a plug inside the kick panel that will allow you disconnect everything in one shot.

 

Probably will be easiest to make a quick disconnect BEFORE the wiring goes though the body back into the truck. Radioshack or simmilar places sell multiple pin male/female plugs.

To make hanging the door easier, I cut a slot to open up the mounting hole on the top of the 2 hinges on the truck. That way I can loosely put the top 2 bolts in the door, then slide the door onto the bolts, put the bottom 2 bolts in, and tighten things up. Actually right now, its only being held on by the top 2 bolts.

Here's a crummy pic of it mounted

 

i've ran my big runner doorless a couple times...


there are 3 plugs on the driver side and 2 plugs on the passenger side behind the kick panels that need to get disconnected before removing the door. it take a while to find them and pull them the first time but i can do it now pretty quickly. once you pull the plugs the rear windows wont roll down, (it thinks the window lock out button is on) but the key still rolls down the back window. ( not an issue wiht a 1st gen, but can be for passengers in 2nd gen runners.) i just unbot the 4 bolts holding the doors on and it comes right off. takes me about 20 minutes to remove both doors.

 

well this doesnt sound too bad to do. i think im gonna have to find some half doors or tube doors, or just no doors at all lol

 

im thinking about going no doors for the summer, i dont really care too much about my interior so it would be fine in the rain lol.

 

try doing a search, there was a thread last week and someone poster up their runner with tube doors.

 

I would not run a truck with out some form of door whether it is full, tube or half doors
edit:
quick release, I drilled out the brass pins, takes me 5-10 minutes to swap doors:

 

I did mine similar to this, only I opened the bottom two holes so I can rest the weight of the doors on them. Then with a 12mm ratchet wrench it only tales a couple of minutes to swap from doors to tube doors.

Here is a picture of my 4Runner with my unfinished tube doors.

 

I rest the weight on mine too. I put the top 2 bolts in the DOOR, and hang it on the hinge.

 

more doorless pics form this weekend

 

Doorless? Heck, where are the topless pics?(trucks that is, this is a family forum!)

 

i am probably gonna try takin my doors off cause im at the beach and im seeing too many heeps without doors lol. but the top has been off since i got here!

 

This should take care of your questions:
