THis was done quite some time ago I forgot to include the folks of Ih8mud on the install
SO here ya go!
Orginal install can be found here FJCCentral.com come check us out!
Just received the metal tech tube doors they are bad ass! Toyota has quick disconnects for the speaker system and this covers that aspect. Most of the time was taken by figuring out parts and where to put them like most products.
I would say once they are assembled you could flop your old doors back on in 20-30 minutes...not bad! The original install took about an hour we disassembled the entire door to find the disconnects that was half the time taken LMAO! SO here ya go for speedy install. 2 people needed for the install. ..the factory doors are pretty heavy. Thanks to Mark from Metal tech for the awesome customer service!
Taking off the sill trim is the first step..
removed so you can get to the vinyl/plastic kick panel
this is the vinyl/plastic kick panel
this is the passenger side use a plastic remover pry bar to get this tab disconnected (LATER I FOUND OUT IT UNSCREWS DOH)
Here is the part
Then the disconnects are behind there for the speakers and electrical..use a small flat head screw driver to disconnect you will see the button to press. Pull through hole in door jamb..
THats pretty much it..then you have 4 bolts to remove off the old door hinges then flop on the new ones. The mirrors are easy to install
Next is the levers and what not..had minor issues on alignment but figured it out...
This is the stock latch receiver it needs to be removed it has a torque bolt (make sure to hold onto these for the stock doors to be reinstalled)
Removed
New latch receiver
Latch installation (make sure you are aligned before torquing them down)
Latch is working after minor alignment
Rubber handles on next. Slice the sealed part of it with a razor to allow air to go through or you will get them stuck on..then lube them up with alcohol liberally and slide on
All done
Showing (optional) mirrors
