Re: Started suicide door.
I don't know where the hell I have been this whole time, but I haven't seen this on FSC yet.

The best part about suicide doors is that when you finally have one done the way you like it, you just have to bite your teeth and do the other side even though you want no part of it.


Do you have a latch/striker kit? I got bear claws and the install kit from www.alteredimagecustom.com

Its a great kit, I love the bearclaws, but I have heard alot of trash talk about them. The thing is, they aren't as forgiving as stock latches, which is a great thing when it comes to suicide doors. If you get your doors sag free, and they open and shut consistantly, you will love bear claws. Let me know if you want pics of my setup when the time comes to hook the OEM handles back up again. I make mine work with a bicycle brake cable, and a few cable guides off of an old bmx frame I had.

And i can't believe that people who have never done suicide doors talk trash on any form of suicide hinges other than the kit that suicidedoors.com sells. I used the autoloc kit, and I loved it. The pins were thicker than the SD one, it had self lubing brass bushings as well. At 1/4 the price it was a no brainer. Those hinges should look neat when they are finished and painted.








...im still waiting for the torsion bars and CV's to go bye bye and get some bags in the front of that thing!
