NSANE, you're one bad dude! I'll be following your progress. Stealin' ideas when I shoulda' be buyin'!! Danny

NSANE68!!! · 12-01-2003, 11:43 AM

I don't mind at all guys. That is why I posted them so others could achieve this mod. Besides like they say imitation is the biggest form of flattery.

I have'nt made much progress we are in the process of building a new house with a 3 1/2 car garage

, and the holidays and what not.
On the latching, these trucks have a pretty secure latching system. I will use the drivers on passenger, and passenger on driver. Make sense?

Then I will use a suicide safty latch of some sort.

Holy S#!t!! That is a freakin cool mod. I wish I had the balls to attempt that one. I'm afraid that I would screw it up so badly that I would have to ditch the cab and look for a new one.

Awesome, thats all I can say.

NSANE,

Very nice

What are you using to open them? Remotes? Hidden switch?

NSANE68!!! · 12-01-2003, 12:34 PM

Key chain remote activates solonoids. It's been that way for 5 yrs and 2 trucks now. I will use the same solonoids just have to move them around a little.

Thanks for the complimants

makes the mod all worth while when you get a good reaction out of people.

Sweet! I’ve known several people that had suicide doors on older cars, No Cal lowrider scene, with several different set-ups as far as electronics, solenoids and back-up buttons. I even had a comparable set-up in a Samurai -- what? it was the 80’s :p

Wow i would like to see an update on this thread. I might just have to do that on mine. I was just trying to figure out what hinges to use.

That looks like a nice place for some speakers!
