Middy help

Post by Midnight Middy »

I have a fj73 and on the rear door i have the spare wheel but when i go driving most of the time i have the roof off which means no spare wheel. Does any1 have any ideas where i can put one? I don't want to put it under the truck and there inst much room next to the subwoofer in the boot. Is there a way you can make a swing away wheel carrier?

I'm probably looking to get Cheesy Racing to to a wheel carrier for me at around $600 or so. Do you juts take the back doors off when the roof is off?

I'm looking to go tops off but still chasing a solution for the rear doors

Do you swap them over every time you take the roof off?

bundera doors will fit and they are already cut down, but the angle on the top is to narrow when the hard top is put back on

Someone told me that some Bundy doors had glass that could lift out and that they would fit the middy. Apparently they're extremely rare.

If they definitely don't fit, you've probably saved me hours of phone call to try and find them!
