My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

I bought Laketex's last set of tube doors as an unassembled kit a while back. They showed up recently and I finally got a chance to build them.

I did make a few changes and modifications to suit my own tastes and needs...plus I painted them a nice bling bling red.

Check em out...

Bryan sold me the unassembled doors for $55. It was their last set. From there I added the upper bar and modified the hinge mounting area plus paint. I spent about 10 hours on em.../forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

They look good! I like the added bar at the top!

So how did you split up your CK5 time and fab time or did you weld them up at work? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

I've been spending as much free time as I have working on the truck trying to get ready for Moab. I work afternoons which leaves me lots of "CK5" time during the day while I take care of the kids...

Weekends I try and get stuff done on the truck./forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif October is coming way too fast!!!/forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Re: My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

OK...nobody steal it /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif but I submitted a photo like this one to a member here that builds tube doors. I thought it was cool and wanted to have a set like this

Re: My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

I like the way you move added the bar to connect to your hinge, I have a extra set of doors for my truck that I'm going to cut up and finish off so they will cover about the same area as yours do, keeping the hinge and striker... /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Looks sharp Rene.

Is that extra hoop a grab handle kinda thing?
 
Re: My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

Grab handle (not really a smart place for your hand though) and mostly a place to mount mirror's when I find a set I like. I like the look of the upper bars as well and to me that is also important.

I like em, and the color too! Theres nothing quite like the visibility they give you both on and off road!

Summer is petty much over and I never put my tube doors back on... if I do it will rain!
 
Re: My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

It does complete the look of the door. Fills it in a bit more, looks sharp.

I thought this(ORD Buggy) was a pretty trick idea, over-lapping bars. Provideing a grab handle of sorts and some knuckle protection at the sametime.
 
Re: My new tube doors with PIC\'S!!

Sorry for the wait man, I'll be tearing into the truck shortly so I'll be in the shop anyway. I should have yours framed out and Pope's done within a week.

*psshhhh* yeah right, I'm so worthless, but I'll try.... /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
