There's only one type of door I like besides normal ones, and you cannot properly fab them into a car without the car being designed to run them in the first place, and that is semi-helical doors. If you could fit those on your truck, that would be a show stopper even if the rest of it was rusted out. NOT to be confused with lambo doors, which are played out, and the Gallardo (best Lambo yet, even if it isn't the highest end model) even has regular freakin' doors.

EDIT - No doors is good also, but you've got a 2wd.

Ain't nothin' wrong with suicide doors if done right. We run them on our Willis
and never had any problems.

suicide doors are the best option IMO (other than stock, or no doors on 4wds)

at least its not overplayed by all the little ricers like those fake lambo doors.

Wish i could help, let us know how it goes, maybe even take some pics. Plans are for my ranger to go suicide too. There arent really any safety problems with suicide door done right. The big problems on the early car where the latching mechanisms, they would open without even touching them. The other problem has a simple fix, look behind you before you open four friggin door on street, then you wont be shut in it or have your door ripped off

Better yet, if you've got more lift than you know what to do with, you could alway have the door open clear down to the ground with stairs on the inside....


For the record i say this in complete and total sarcasm.

You're a little off, but you're in the right neighborhood.



Sorry, they're called dihedral synchro helix. Either way, they're awesome, and nobody has 'em but Koenigsegg.
