Looking for some K5 pics with the DIY XD tube doors. They only have a cheesy pic of a long bed p/up truck. Also be cool to see color matched to the truck itself.

No, those pics are good. Thanks.

I just wonder why they didnt follow the contour of the door frame better at the Lower Right section? That is my only gripe about them. ALso what are ya'll doing about mirrors?
 
Silly question; do the tube doors rattle bad?

I haven't noticed any rattles at all. These doors fit really tight.

I don't remember why we decided on a couple 45's versus a single 90* bend.

I think with the single 90* it reminded us of a hog panel.
 
Kert, if we wanted to slightly modify to doors is that possible? Specifically I'm talking about the top most bar that turns down on top of the long horizontal bar.

Depends on the modification. PM me with your ideas for the top bar.

.

Maybe because a single 90* bend would hit the door jam at the bottom corner. Looks like it would have to be more of a gradual bend. :dunno:
