I haven't been able to find a manufacturer of tube doors for the FJ40. I'm sure someone makes them. :shaking:

We made tube doors as a pilot project some time ago and went for this simple design with a nice lock.

Ehsan, I am always amazed when I see pictures of your workers handcrafting parts. It makes me very envious to see these real craftsmen at work. I, for one, would like to see an article in Toyota Trails detailing your manufacturing process for a particular product, including the tools and methods employed. :)

Love the tube doors, does Schaffers have a website? If you don't mind me asking, what did those set you back??

thanks
