Do you have any photos of that (the S-10 carriers as tube doors)? Thanks

Their products look good/really well made. I'd be curious to hear if other people on the forum have bought and installed some of the different products, too.

I put '97 doors on my '89. All I needed to do was drill one hole. Wanna know the coolest thing about this?

I have 1989 limited, 4L, 4dr, 4x4.
Dude smashed my Dr side doors - bought 2 replacements .... .... '98, & '99!
SO,.... (yeah)
HOW much work will it be AND Can I use , I would like to use the older style Latch mechanism assemblies ... well at least the front b/c - just bought new locks, prefer not to drill into uni-body/ B-pillar, ... IDK, but could take me days just to drill that x-tra hole & put nuts back behind it.

Also: how about rewiring doors - window sws, lock sw, Mirror control and heat wires...?
-Anyone?
