Re: Suicide doors...?

Any updates? Did LOWRIDE do this conversion? I thought I saw that the inner door must be braced for this to work properly.........anybody know for sure?

Re: Suicide doors...?

Thanx for the update suicide 63. Are the cab braces vertical between the hinges? How do you feel about the difficulty of the install.

I would love to do this, but slightly hesitant to get into it.

Re: Suicide doors...?

Excellent links. I forgot ***************** had that stuff; been awhile since Ive surfed over there. Looks like a lot of work but nothing that is extrememly difficult. I guess with and extra set of doors you could even throw the towel in and put it back to stock if need be. Thanx Suicide 63.

Correct. But I would not use a single hinge if you can do double.

Since I have to address the doors I am thinking of going ahead and making suicide doors.

Ok,

I need to know all the available kits, manufactures, and links so I research the best ones.
When I start on this I want it to be reliable and sturdy. Taking the doors apart now.
