Modify the hinges so you can take the doors off by lossening a couple bolts and leave them at the trail head or at camp. :wink:

I cut the lower slot a bit shorter eventually so the top bolt lined up first and the lower just slipped right into place. No silly over priced removable pin setup or swapping to worry about.

You may want to purchase a set of doors to modify. I have both. Elk hunts and early spring runs are much better when you’re not freezing.

It seems that the doors in the picture that you posted are too open. I don't think there is any benefit to that of big of hole. The door I built seems to work about perfect. If you want, give me a call and you can swing by and check my stuff out. I will give you some advice if have a few hours and not afraid of heights :wink:

not a yota but i built a set for my 79 chev (read big and cant see anything)
the doors helped a bunch
i built them when i was 17 (no experience) and no one else is dumb enough to wheel them

ended up just runnin without most of the time

IMO take them off or if you want to drive on the street make them removeable
