Nope, and I hope I never do. Personally I think that mod looks horrible and the LUV is hard enough to get out of anyway. Couldnt imagine trying to get out with half the door in the way.

There is actually quite a bit or room to get in and out of the truck. By the way, FBI says they will not ship to an alternate location :evil:

76, I have to agree with Tilted. Ive seen enough tuner cars at shows with those door kits and none of them that Ive seen lift the door completely out of the way. On the other hand, people have been doing stuff to vehicles for ever to look good but inconvenience themselves. Channeling & chopping limits leg and head room and with suicide doors you have to lean out of the vehicle to grab the door to shut it. It just comes down to personal taste.

I saw some that opened 180*, but I cant remember what the website was... they showed pic's of some people who had them...
most of them only open to go straight up, these opened so the door is actually heading forward.

how in the world would you close something like that...I guess a strap or something hanging down from the door??

I thought the site was http://www.suicidedoors.com/ but I was wrong

I will try to get side pictures of the doors. Yeah I got all the parts and got them all in, the brushed is what the shop owner requested. I will try to get more info from FBI. If they say items can be shipped (lets hope) to different addys, I will email you the number, cool tilted?

Good luck on getting a new job, I quit offshore because they didn't want to pay me 300 bux that they owed me for overtime. Now I am in construction and destruction (rebuilding homes and masonry). The only thing that took a while to get was the hinges, everything else got here fast... They were fairly easy to put in, cut support out, reinforce with 1/8 steel plate, weld hinge to door then to steel plate, drill a couple holes for adjustment screws and hook up shock. Oh yeah trim fender reinforcement.

Cool, yep I definatly wouldnt be able to get my fat butt in or out of your truck!!! 8O I am 6'3" - 250 lbs. Thanks on the job, I got out of construction (not by choice) due to the home buying market hitting the tank. Would be fun to go back in a demo some of the houses we built! :twisted:

I am actually saving up to get a s10 rolling chassis. I am trying to find an xtreme, but no one around here has one.... I will take the fenders off today for pix so ya can see the cutting and welding that had to be done....
