60 Series Half Door Build (1 Viewer)

For the past 3 years I've been dying to build a set of half doors. I could never find a decent set until recently. Two sets of front doors and one pair of rear doors.

Are you drunk?

Are you drunk?

When am I not?

Good point. Now back to half doors. Did you cut the back ones too?

 

[landcruiserjunky]

Picked up 6 doors from hotlanta. They all surprisingly fit in the 80.






I always got pissed at people who built sh!t and never had action shots. And then I realized its hard to take of pic of yourself working




I cut straight down until the "ripple" in the door (that runs accross the 60 series body).

I have zero welding skills so a buddy welded the aluminum handrests on.




Primed and drying...

looks good but only one question...how did your buddy weld the aluminum hand rail to steel door?

Steel rails welded to the doors, then aluminum riveted the rails.

I realized that by the time I actually get around to sandblasting the doors and powdercoating them, the summer's going to be over. So I just spray canned them black and I can deal for a couple weeks (more like months but thats ok )















And then my buddy in Alabama sold his 60 to pay for a trip to South America so I got stuck with his front set of half doors.

That looks pretty radical

Nice... looks good... I loved mine and I only did one

 

[mickeyt]

does it have door windows?

 

[landcruiserjunky]

No they don't. Would have been sweet, but defeats the purpose IMO.

Anyone making these for the 80"

is there no interior panel?

There is not. IIRC someone had a front tube door set for sale in the mud classifieds

is there no interior panel?

It is raw metal. My next step is to cut out the interior and use some bungee netting (with small holes) so the doors will be able to hold more of my crap.
