Tube doors on an FJC! I usually post my mods in my build thread, but a few have suggested that others might like to see the tube doors. I recently had Don @ FC Fabrication build me an internal cage, traction bar and a set of tube doors. I still can't imagine what it will be like to see my front wheel while offroad.
Don built a hinge unit with hole-less dimple dies pressed outward to hide all the A pillar hinge mounts. He also used some mini truck hinges and built a killer latch mechanism. These door actually sound like a real door when you close them and they are stout. He added a grab handle on the inner bottom tube, so that I can hang on while wheeling. The door latch that he built works the rear door handle lockout which prevents the rear 1/2 doors from opening while the tube doors are closed. They also work the dome lights just like the stock doors. The tube doors are removable with 4 bolts in each door, so I can swap back to the factory doors very easily. I will be adding some sort of mirror to the doors in order to be legal in CA. The doors turned out incredible!!!
very impressive.......Just when you think there is nothing new in the forums today....Along comes something so innovative and unique it really startles you...Very cool
