the new door
This door truely does not match
it is two tone with a winglet thing as you can tell. But she works

Looks good. A little paint and your set!

I have the same problem with my dogs. Took them for a ride in the pig last night. Got home and they would not get out of the truck;p Two hours later, they decided it was time exit One time I forgot about them and five hours later my daughter asked where the dogs were

 

[bonzai]

My doggies seem to be perfectly happy with just sitting in the driveway as well

I have no idea WTF is going on in this thread. Are there supposed to be pics or something?

 

[FJBen]

[surfpig]

Oh, good, it's not just me!

 

[RUSH55]

Bonzai and CFang are communicating the images via ESP.

 

[PabloCruise]

[Lucy_FJ55]

I had to rebuild my drivers door hinges as they'd worn out and were very sloppy, i hope they last.
i think i'll have to do the same to the passenger door soon.

 

[rsrai]

how did you go about rebuilding the hinges? 3 of the 4 doors on my pig are sloppy, the one that isnt is the one where the lock itself was broken and the PO never bothered to pull it up with pliers to unlock the door. that door works perfectly.

 

[Pighead]

Lore has it that:
A) If you replace the door hinge bushings, you lose the slop.
2. FJ40 door hinge bushings work on 55s too.
III.) Electrical shrink-wrap tubing works as bushing material as well.

 

[Pighead]

bonzai;
So now you have a wind-winged, different colored door on one side, and the one-piece glass on the other side?
Most Excellent.
Do you find it difficult to close the driver side (one-piece) window all the way when driving on the freeway? I did.

 

[bonzai]

Pighead:
I do have a problem closing the drivers side door. I figured
I needed to replace the bushings. Or tighten the screws.

 

[RUSH55]

Yes, electrical shrinkwrap on 5/16" bolts works great!

5/16 i guess mine was egg out more than that.Drilled the outers to 3/8 to fit the center.
