Lift off door hinges

Postby 77irishwagon » Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:02 pm

Do any of you guys have lift off doors? This would make getting in and out of the trailer easier.

I'm thinking about doing that to my fiberglass doors. Anyone find a kit or a good method of doing this?

Pics?

Thanks
Chris

if you have the stock hinges you can replace the pins with the quick release pins http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s ... elease+pin

I have the lift off hinges designed in my head, but for now there's quick release pins holding the doors on my Vega drag car; I too have to remove the door to be able to get out of the car in the hauler.

72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter

99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....
