Everyone at the garage has gone to the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah so I can't work on me truck. I have been thinking again (dangerous) of doing some half doors. I had the time to edit some pictures. I liked these the best out of about twenty different ones that I did. I would probably use the glass and some of the outside shell. Just thought that I would get some opinions.

Not a half door but great looking tube doors
Edited by HeathGQ. Find a different pic of the door please.

Kent, have you actually taken your doors off your hinges ??
If you do, take a picture and work on the aesthetics of making the 1/2 doors look good

Sorry, I didn't feel that the picture was offensive...an attractive young lady (Marlin's daughter) in a bikini top and jeans.
How come we have a moderator for the Daihatsu forum that doesn't even own a Daihatsu?

surely there wasn't anything offensive about that door pic !?! You see people getting around in public places with less than that on....
My vote would be for the tube door idea- that way you don't have to butcher your standard doors!

I've seen people just cut the top part of the hinge for quick removal. Or from a Toy site:
Grind the head off one of the stock pins and carefully hamemr it out with a drift. Try to keep the little bushings in tact and reuse them. I then went down to the local hardware store and bought a hitch pin that slides right in and has a retaining ring to hold it in place. I ground some material off of the heads so that they could fit past the bolts without any problems.
Tube doors are great till it pours down rain.

I didnt find it offensive either Kent, but i dont make the rules.
And I used to own a Daihatsu... and theres not much left of yours that Daihatsu is there??
Top work though... the tube doors look good... as do the cut down doors...

I wasn't serious Heath. You had a red Oz Rocky for years right? I am grateful to be able to post here, throw out some ideas and get some feedback. Good moderation man. You never know who is looking over your shoulder.
If it is true that Toyota owns 51% of Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. then all of our vehicles are mostly Toyota. You are right that I have swapped a lot of stuff out but it still looks like a slightly modified Feroza.

I kind of like that last chopped door pic.
It even has a cup holder!
It would offer a bit more protection from mud and other crap as well, all though the tube is probably stronger and definetely looks cool.

Oz Feroza...... loved it, and would love another, but not for the off-roading I do now. We love our Nissan for that!!!
Yeah I like the cupholder door!!!
