Has anyone used these build your own tube door kits? If so what did you use for hinges and a latch? I wanna do the fronts first and if I like them I'll get the rears.

That's what I was thinking to. A net or sheetmetal.

I like the idea of a net a lot more than the sheet metal. If u want to go sheet metal why not get some doors from the JY and hack those to hell?

Regardless I like the idea so I am curious... what do you plan to use for hinges? And what do you plan on using for a latch?

And good luck on the build!

I like the net idea and I think stock hinges will be the best. Not to figure out a latch.
