Troopy rear doors, is this stock?

[woytovich]

I am wondering about these (apparent;y) riveted on panels. They are not stock, right? Are these some common thing people do...?

 

[bj70_guy]

Definitely not stock, or common. Looks like bootyfab bodywork to me.

Whats under there is what would worry me

 

[woytovich]

I agree @roscoFJ73

Those panels are over top where the oem wheel carrier mount holes should be. I'm guessing that's partially why they are covered.

67005-60650 ,about $770 + freight for a new bare door

Though it's easy enough to just put the bolts in the door without the tire carrier. I'm afraid I'd suspect something more sinister under there.

 

[woytovich]

Agreed

 

[roscoFJ73]

Maybe the wheel carrier had an accident and ripped the bolts out.

The upper scab panel is in an area where the tyre carrier is not attached. It has to be covering up sin.

EDIT.. See the post below.

For reference (pic theived from a mud member). Note the four holes. :

 

[cruiserdan]

Sure enuf.

Still odd though. The mouning holes can easily and neatly be filled by bolts. Plating it suggests damage underneath.

 

[roscoFJ73]

Easy enough to remove the door card and have a looksy. Its got everyone in a state of excitement now

 

[woytovich]

Will report back if/when able.

The truck has been sold so we will never know what secrets the panels held.
