Like these?

Might try in the vendors forum. 4x4Iron might be making some, ORD might be making some. Most of us make our own. I got the parts for mine from another member and modified the kit to suit my needs.

Welcome To CK5!

Actually I just starting making tube doors, I have a few different designs I'm working on. Tomorrow I will post up some new pictures for you.

If you use the search feature you will find some pictures, you could also look for pictures from members Trustyk5 and spoolnaround I think you can find some door pics in there too.

edit: looks like rene beat me to it hahaha

I try not to miss an opportunity to whore my pic's...

If you start building and selling tube doors and stuff you might want to contact Steve regarding the vendor package.

One thing I'm going to do with mine is get some snap on vinyl covers so I can run them with less hassle here. Mirrors too of course.

What are you guys using for latches?

 

[tRustyK5]

Mine use rotary latches that can be found at austinhardware.com

U-300 or something like that.

Well heres the pictures I promisedAnd to answer a few questions...

I use gate latches, work great, a little tight, but these are prototypes.

Rene It's all in the works.

Keep an eye on the VENDOR and FREEBIE forums



Thanks Jesse

4x4 Iron makes them. I don't think they have any pictures of them on their website, but I'm pretty sure folks here do.

Jesse,

Check these latches out.

They allow you to slam the door shut just like a regular door and work good with the stock striker. Those are the latches used on my doors.

I was originally going to put sheet metal bolt ons to keep stuff in the truck for those that don't want junk falling out on the road, take em off for trail.
