i plan on using delrin (sp?) bushings, 2 hinges for each door, one high one low.

If you need Delrin bushings, I can spin some up for you, I got tons of it. Yes your spelling is correct.

might take you up on that! should be starting mine sometime this summer, hoping to be done by pismo!

ebay search for "Delrin Bushing"

$10 a piece with inner and outer DOM sleeves, shipping out of Vegas . . .

Got the hinges sometime in the last few days (been traveling) - these look good. the bushings/sleeves fit with minimal/no play, all edges are deburred and they move freely. Definately worth the $10

ordered the hinges/bushings. bought all my steel today, just a few more parts to collect to be done with parts. im starting on it as soon as i get the truck back on the road from front wheel bearings.

How much did you end up paying for all of your steel? I'm thinking about fabbing a plate wrap around but haven't looked into prices yet.

uh, well i ordered a BUNCH of stuff, and had some left over from a few previous purchases. id have to go find my invoice for what i bought the other day. it isnt alot though. i think a few hundred.

got my "bushings". guy mailed me the wrong parts. so i have to call him.

today i worked on the lower brackets. basically im making a bruce bumper with a tire carrier. pictures to come, especially when i start deviating from his design. i cant be bothered to find my card reader...

update:

Just added mud flaps to the BruceTS bumper, actually, all 4 corners. It has been raining for 3 weeks, well, with the intension of to be on the safe side of the law, I went to a local parts store bought a cheapy set of plastic mud flaps, $12 from Pepboys, pair of 2. cut each piece into 2, smaller one goes to the front, bigger one to the rear.

Mine is done!

Mine. I will be cutting this off in the future for a tire carrier setup, but we do these on 3rd gen 4runners.

That lambo one above was on my last 1st gen 4runner. It actually worked pretty damn well. Even in off camber situations. The strut helped control it a lot. In comparison to the weak spinde type carriers, this worked excellent and the tire had no vibes at all. Even on wash board roads.
