that looks similar to what frizzle is using on his tahoe.

Any updates? Did LOWRIDE do this conversion? I thought I saw that the inner door must be braced for this to work properly.........anybody know for sure?

yes it should,heres as far as i got on the door at this point.You should also brace the hinges to the cab,I used 1 inch square tubing between the hinges.

protrash64 · 12-13-2008, 11:01 PM

Thanx for the update suicide 63. Are the cab braces vertical between the hinges? How do you feel about the difficulty of the install.

I would love to do this, but slightly hesitant to get into it.

Excellent links. I forgot ***************** had that stuff; been awhile since Ive surfed over there. Looks like a lot of work but nothing that is extrememly difficult. I guess with and extra set of doors you could even throw the towel in and put it back to stock if need be. Thanx Suicide 63.

Thats an idea, pickup some less than desirable doors for practice.

Correct. But I would not use a single hinge if you can do double.

**scotts62** · 08-30-2009, 08:27 PM

I think mine would look ok with them since it has the flip up front end but ill probably leave them alone

1Bad62Pro/Street · 03-08-2013, 11:36 PM

Since I have to address the doors I am thinking of going ahead and making suicide doors.

Ok,

I need to know all the available kits, manufactures, and links so I research the best ones.
When I start on this I want it to be reliable and sturdy. Taking the doors apart now.
