Making half doors.

That is cool! I even have easy access to clear Lexan... :thinking:

Does he leave the "window" in all the time? I'd want to make it removeable.

The windows are fully removable. Look at the last picture (with the Jeep) and you can see that the lexan is not there. He puts them in the truck so he can install them if it gets too cold.
 
Do you know if the upper portion of the "glass" goes into the glass run like a regular window?
 
those look great, I think I will use that there idea. pretty cool thanks for the pics AK big sub
 
what did they cover the little strip that the window bolts to with? if it's just the metal strip yo'd think it'd be hard on the arms. it looks like they did use something just curious what as to what

I was thinking the same thing. They probably unbolt that part when the glass is out. Just my $.02
 
Another nice add on I've seen on half doors is a cup holder built in with a cozy to hold your favorite beverage.
Or a grab handle might be nice. I see lots of people grabing the door and I can just picture the truck shifting over to the left and the driver crushing their fingers between the door and a rock:doah:
 
remember this video off trucksgonewild.com where the guy has a huge truck and when it starts to roll he tries to get out. crazy vid. nothing scarier than that. had an uncle roll his truck with his arm out the window. didn't break his arm but put a good dent in the top of the cab.

long story short, i was got 3-wheel motion in a tight ravine a few weeks ago and when i dropped onto the front left, (felt like it was about to roll, but i knew i was nowhere close) my left arm slipped off the top of the door and almost got crammed into the wall. not cool. so yeah, some "oh cr*p" handles built in would be awesome on half-doors.

one dude on here built some halfies with tube running through them. looked cool, would provide a hold, and is probably strong.
