TB No Doors.jpg
Super easy front door removal... 3 screws, one electrical connector, lift off and done. Makes it much easier to lean out and see where you're stepping. Sheds a few pounds too.

I've been DDing my crawler for the past few weeks and the doors have been off most of that time. Depending on your state, you'll need to install some auxiliary mirrors if you're driving on the street.

I like it so much I'm going to make some tube doors this summer.

WOW, on an EXT none the less. I've seen guys in S10 4 door blazers rolling around with all 4 doors off. Looks retarded. But, that's my opinion. To each his own.

Pretty much.


Moots is a prime example of "I blew all my money on modifying my truck so now i can't afford gas to go wheeling."

Jason is taking much longer with his truck, but at least he actually shows up to offroad trips.

Moots - just come down to the Pine Barrens in August and drive her through some thorn trees. After that, no one will be able to tell the difference...mall crawl or not.

HOLY CRAP! Did you un-plasti-dip your hood? Any long term effects, if so? Looks good without the moldings, too.

EDIT: NM... The angle of that second to last pic just makes it look like you did. I can see it, barely visible, above the brush guard. :facepalm:
