door hinges

[ridesbikes]

allright ive looked at the 4xinnovations hinges and maybe came up with an idea.

instead of spending the $75 on a pair of these why not just go to a hardware store and buy some of those "D" clips and cut out the old pin and put on of these in there?

anybody else had that idea? im just wondering if it would really work or not.

[OOPS]

Yes it will work. If you are on PBB look in the FAQ thread, there are all sorts of ideas.

I have done that setup on my previous truck. It worked great.

You're going to have a lot of slop in your hinges if you go this route.

Like oops said - there are few ideas on PBB that won't cost you anything and work better than anything else.

Agreed, I did the d-ring thing with my stock hinges and they were way too sloppy. I ended up putting a different set of stock hinges on and just slit the top hole of the door side of the hinge to slide on and off with the other bolt removed. You will see it over on Pirate. Works great.

i love my quick disconnect doors...

thanks to pirate

ya thats what i did and it works great! i also went to a wrecking yard and picked up an extra set of used hinges so that i could permanantly bolt a set to my tube doors!

I had the 4xinnovation hinges on my pickup, did the hing slot mod on my 4runner. The pins were a pain the the ass to deal with, but they did keep both sets of doors properly aligned. The hinge slot mod is quicker, though I do have to check that the doors are lined up each time I swap them around.

i also have the hinge from 4xinnovations- love em. just put them on and go. only issue i have is the copper bushings on the door sides keep comming out.

[ridesbikes]

thanks guys. i did the d-rings on my drivers door. i figured out that if i keep the brass bushings from the factory in the hinges, it works allright. my only problem is one of the passenger bushings has broken and im havin a hard time finding a new one. any suggestions? oh and does anybody know where i can get some new body mounts? i have a 2 inch body lift that i dont want anymore.

[OOPS]

Go to P-N-P and get a set of hinges.

[ridesbikes]

allright. well i have another question, where can i buy new tranny and transfer case sticks? when the person before me put on the body lift they welded in 2 inch spacers on the both of them and the tranny one broke the other day. just wondering where i could get one

[wingzero]

you should be able to get the t case sticks from trail gear or marlin. im not really sure about the transmission stick, other than a dealership. maybe a parts place like napa or autozone???? thats if you want new. if you can settle for used than you should be able to get them from any pick and pull. are you going to add the 2 inches in to these? if not than i have a tcase stick if you want it. i THINK the thread is still good.

[ridesbikes]

yea i tried napa and autozone but all they said is that they dont carry them....but how much do you want for the transfer case stick? thanks

[wingzero]

if you want it you can have it. free of charge. unless it costs alot to ship it. if it costs like 20-30 to ship i might ask for some money, just pm me your address and i will try to get it in the mail monday. i have the stock 4wd knob for it- do you want that too? the stick has the shaft boot (not the in cab dust boot though(sorry)) the spring and that parobolic cap, but not the snap ring- cant find that part. like i said if you want it pm me.. i will look around some of my buddies parts bins and see if they have another tcase or tranny stick.

[ridesbikes]

pm sent. thanks man.
