    Hey eel,
    you should have negotiated this yesterday, before I drove up and picked up daves door and the slow combustion, could have done three things instead of two while i was out, make that four, remove the door first.
    just let me know when.

    As an aside - when I first built my IIA (as a hardtop), I hated the stupid stick things to hold the rear door up. I installed an old gas strut I had lying around, and it was fantastic!

    I bet I can set it up so you can have both the swinging door AND the dual tailgate...

    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    Mark, if you put seats in the back I would go for the one piece door. It is much easier to acsess the rear with it. If you want any ideas on seats in the rear, I have recently fitted foward facing seats to mine.

    Hi Mark,

    If you need a hand, sing out, I'm not far away
    What Dave says would be easy to do.
    Four hinges, two for the top and two for the bottom.
    The top part could be secured with the same system it has, to lock the whole door. Looks like an easy job.

    Cheers,
    Ron

    I have also seen conversions done to the back door where the upper tailgate is retained, but the lower tailgate is side hinged. This works particularly well if you want to turn the truck into a part time soft top later on.
    The only drawback to the rear barn door is when you hang a spare tyre off it - it tends to crack the frame.
