Who sells the best door posts? I'm considering upgrading mine. Thoughts?

The strap hinge has been great, but I'm thinking about going back to a more conventional set up. Thanks
Yes, I used a hatchet for my floor opening during the roll cage installation. Worked pretty good.

I like the 2x4. Much easier to run screws into than that mean old metal.%)

Maybe make the replacements out of Trex?
They would be more weather proof that way. ;D

Somebody took the word "post" literally.

Never mind rust.....better watch out for termites and carpenter bees!

The good thing about the wood backing is you wont have to weld in the new door posts. You can just place them on top and screw in through the sheet metal into the wood for a good solid structure. Be careful if you weld in your new sheetmetal. That wood structure looks to be treated wood. Burning treated wood releases the toxins into the air and can cause you to get very ill.
take care of those hinges I believe they were a joint venture between Stanly and Stroppe to reduce the weight of the origional factory hinges. Saved close to 7 pounds.

I think the hinges should be upgraded to brass, everyone does stainless - add some bling

You might be on to something here! Brass and Trex, may be the solution!

That was a good call to tie the roll cage into the frame.

Give it a good coat or two of Minwax for extra bling.

Behr has some kick arse deck stain to give it that just upgraded look.

 

[bronkenn]

Did you get that from Red Green?

Doesn't look like it has enough duct tape on it.

yeah, I am just curious to what it is tied with, heck could be upgraded to a 4X4 or is that a 3 1/2" X 3 1/2":-X

At least it has the nice Ford Alcoas (at least one) on it. I'd grab those!

Yes, with first gen run flats.

I don't think that's a roll bar. Looks like a piece of pipe that pushed up through the floor pan. Probably why they stopped driving it.

You mean like a flag pole?
