Looks real nice, Shawn, I especially like the Dora hat, that your wheelin' hat? LOL!
On a side note, are you running 63" Chevy's in the rear? |

| I dig the cup holder! How does the arm feel after a day of wheeling with the Herculiner rubbing on it??? I did the same thing with a set of doors on my old EB. It got pretty annoying with the Herculiner on it. I dig the doors though. I will be doing something similar to mine pretty soon. |

| Shawn, could you give any info and or pics on where you bought the door handles you used and also the mechanism you built/used to make them work the latch? Also, did you make the hinges any type of quick release (I've seen several types used, wondered if one was better than another)? |

The handles I got from a tool box place her locally.(The Perry Co.)
You can get them from grainger or theres a bunch of places on the net I looked at. As far as the mechanism. I used a rod(can't remember the dia.)just cold roll peice from TSC. Its kinda hard to explain how it hooks to the Toy latch but its pretty self explanatory when you look at it. The end that goes to the toolbox latch is just bent in a U shape and hooked on the latch mechanism so that it pulls in the right direction.(top or bottom depending on the side.
I'll try to get some pics of that soon. I'm horrible at taking pics while I'm working so I always miss kinda important stuff.
As far as the hinges. I used this method and I just carry a ratcheting wrench in the truck for removal.
Theres a pin method out there but I was worried about messing up the hinges like the ones on my Suburban where the door drops everytime you open it.

| Cool, thanks for the info. The hinge method that you used is the one I was thinking of useing. I feel the same way you do about the pin method, especially when you put the "heavier" full doors back on. |

Thanks man. The ovly reason I used the Rhino liner was because I don't have access to a paint booth or paint equipment. I would love to have the whole truck repainted to include the halfddoors so it will all match.
I'm torn though. I love the look of a really clean(no dents/scratches) truck but its damn near impossible to keep it that way. If the Herculiner lasts on the doors I may do the whole truck. |
