Tube doors
« on: March 21, 2012, 04:30:44 PM »
So i'm looking for a small summer project and I want to make tube doors. I see Jeep Tubes has a package for the tubes at a decent deal ($75 for 2 doors) and then I would just need to find latches and the swinging attachment part.

Anyone have experience with Jeep Tubes? I feel like it wouldn't be much of a problem, but I am always hesitant to order online. Just the way it is. I dont have many tools so bending my own tubes is out.

Also, anyone know of a good place to get the latches. Dosnt have to be a full fledged handle like on the normal doors, but something safe and reliable is a must as I lean on the door (hence why running no doors is out. Need an arm rest).

Looking for inexpensive but not cheap options, and I would rather build the doors then buy them (aka something to do).

Any input or experience stories will be appreciated

Looking for something like this http://www.offroadfabnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5918

If you are looking for a cheap hobby that will get you out into the woods, collect rocks or bird watch........don't buy a Jeep.

If you think about making a set for a jk, I can offer up mine for testing.

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
