i saw a picture of a land cruiser from the side (Fj-40 i believe) and it had some nice doors madr from expanded steel. i'm thinking about building some my self so if anyone knew whos rig this was and could give me a picture i'd appreciate it.

Here is another picture of the ones I did on my cruiser. just cut up some stock doors and made some nice door panels.

how hard were those to make Davewfo? They look awsome

 

[DaveWFO]

Now very hard at all. Just use a marker and decide how you want them and make the mark 1 inch higher than you want your doors. Use a Air Nibler which doesn't distort the sheetmedal. Sawzaw
tends to distort the medal. Get some sheet metal and cover the cutting area and spot weld. You can always pay a body shop to do it. Than I had someone make the door panels out of leather.

BTW www.Harborfrieght.com has niblers for like $ 25 bucks,

Hope this helps
Dave
