New rear door

[tom4bren]

As you may remember, my upper rear door hinge was tearing so I replaced it last weekend with the one from vt_maverick's old one that got totalled. The paint is just Rustoleum but it was a pretty close match. I'll put my original back on if I ever get my butt in gear with the lift gate conversion idea I gots rolling around in my noggin.

Here are some pix of the torn hinge.

Only that little bit of metal on the left hand side was still holding it on. I had to lift the far side of the door about 6 inches to close it.

Looks like a really good match.

Wow, your door was really ripping off the hinges.

My rear door-tire carrier is holding up great and I think it's mainly due to the center support I built. Something to consider for all the other members with tires mounted on the rear door.




Nice paint job, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything.

are you planning on mounting your spare there again???

Prolly gonna go with a drop down receiver mounted carrier that puts it in the same location ... bye bye SuperBumper.
