just wondering about dong this... i tore up my door the last time out and its unusable now. i really dont want to go with tube's cause the tires stick out way past the fenders and with boggers ill probably loose a eye.

just wondering if anyone ever braced up some angle iron or maybe some plate? (i got 2x2 foot sections of some thin plate.

worse comes to worse ill just slap another one on till i wreck it again

You could try how I reinforced my rusty old truck bed. I went around the whole top of it with thin angle iron, and oxy acetylene stitch welded it to the sheet metal. On a door you would have to do the whole outside with angle, and maybe run one or two thin strips of 2 inch by 1/8 flat stock up the middle.

I know exactly what you are talking about, I smashed a door beyond all repair on a trail last year. :)

Might look at the way nascar does the COT car. They put the bar on the inside then a big dense piece of foam between it and the outer door skin. Bounce them off the wall at a couple hunderd miles and hour and it holds up.
