HZJ73 front door panels

[TxAg98]

Does anyone have a picture of the HZJ73 doors with the interior panel off? Better yet, would it be possible to replace with HDPE or some other kind of plastic?

A number of guys (me included) have done that.

New factory vinyl front door panels are available in tan and gray I believe. I got tan ones and they weren't crazy expensive. I replaced all my rear panels with stained wood panels.

Aluminum would be my vote.
Get some 1/4" nicely routered and powder coat them.

I was just wondering, since on the HzJ73, the vinyl goes all the way up to the window channel. Just wanted to see what it looked like under the door car before going out and pulling it myself.

If that helps, it's from an HJ75. No vinyl to the window the channel. I couldn't find any pics with the door panels removed...

Odd that ^ has no inner door pull handle.

Easy to remedy though.

You have SST?special service tool to remove crank. I think door cards p much interchangeable eh 91lj78 panels seem to fit kids 86 bj70. The interior stamping looks identical. Toyota calls a shop rag SST HA HA

Just not installed in that photo. I was replacing door panels and I went back through my old pics hoping I had one with the panel removed. The door pull mounts where those two holes are.
