alright, after lookin around the site fr a while, i found a few pics of half doors(full door frame, just window is gone, and it is chopped down a few inches, with sheet metal welded on the inside)
if one was to go this route for weekend wheelin'(keepin full doors for DD) and i wanted a bar welded in the inside of the door, and the tube mounts to the hinges, how would i go about doing this?
goal:
half doors, tube structure on inside that mounts to stock hinges, sheet metal inside panel.
i hope yal can understand what im trying to accomplish.
i have to have some sort of door, cuz momma says that when i get my truck, tube doors are forbidden:mad:
but i understand where she is comming from, and i would like there to be somethn to stop sh1t from falling out under a tube door

Why not just get some stock doors and cut them down??????

I got some pictures of half doors but can't post them.

Why are you messing with your door hindges :confused: Go get yourself some doors cut them and mount them dude. No mods to the hindges needed. just the center of the door.

to hell with doors:flipoff2:

sorry, doing to many things at once. I meant moving the door latches. I'm adjusting my doors. got twisted as typing i guess.

pm me some pics if you could Hinges are stock hinges with the top bolt hole on the door side cut into a U on both hinges, for ease of changeing from summer doors to winter doors. You just put the top bolt part way in on on the top and bottom. Set the door into the U on the hinges, put the other two bolts in and tighten. Some people do not put the bottom bolts in, but with my luck I would open the door and it would fall off!!!!:D

Sounds like time to get rid of "momma".:rolleyes:

Did you read the FAQ......???????

Quick Release Hinges / Removable Doors

Info provided by Wheelie_Pete

To get the old factory pin out without a fuss, cut it in half as it sits in the hinge, then take a cold chisel and start tapping around the edge of the top of the pin. (The hinges should be removed from teh vehicle first.) This should start to pry the pin upwards, then, when you clear the swege marks on the pin you can just pull it out. Repeat for the bottom half.

If you manage to cut your hinges and then force out the stock pin without fawking up the brash bushing, then you can use a 5/16 (.3125") dia. pin perfectly. The stock door hinge bushings are 8mm (0.315" dia). My passanger's door hinges worked out this way and it works awesome! This works so well I can hardly believe it. The pin is upside down on the top hinge because there isn't enough room to drop it down through the top due to the shape of the door's edge. A sharp eye will notice that the lower bolt head on the door's half of the hinge is ground down. This is so you can clear the pin's shoulder by the bolt. It had to be done to get a straight up shot for the pin. Also when doing it this way you can retain the factory brass bushing which will keep the door tight and have that OEM fell. My driver's door's brass bushings in both hinges cracked when we tried to pull the stock pin so we had to drill them out to 3/8" and use a 3/8" Pin or bolt with the head ground down. This eventually wears on the hinges and Ifinally ended up replacing them with some I could use a 5/16 pin in.

I used spring pins and left the stock bushings in. About 30 seconds to take a door off and 2 minutes to put it back on with no help and perfect alignment each time. Had to grind a little off one bolt head per hinge.

Here's the route I went. It cost me six dollars. I carry a 12MM ratcheting box wrench ($6 from Sears) in the glove box. Prefect fix on the bolts without rounding them off... a non-ratcheting type tends to twist sideways and round off the bolt slightly with each use. Then you just do what's in the pic. It lets you loosen both bolts 2-3 turns and pull the door right off.
