Bebe's Hollywood Half/Tube Doors

bebe · Jun 22, 2012

So I'm taking the BebeMonster to my neighbor and friend, Dave "Hollywood" Eulburg, (President of Pirates of the Rubicon) so He can build me some Half/Tube Doors. I am calling them - My "Hollywood Half Doors"

Here is a pic of her naked with no doors

Here are several door options I looked around for to help us with a design

I really like the mesh

This one is square tube on a diagonal - very much like

This one is a little too bulky but a good example of a higher door

This one I just found interesting

We also need to incorporate the flare that attaches to the rear door, but they pop off really easy, so that will be easy.

So decisions decisions.....off I go to the shop!!

I really like how the gold TJ door has the tubes sticking out

That's why I liked it too, there's a bit of something I like in all the doors posted, it's just figuring out how to incorporate all the feature aesthetically.

Is he going to fit it for you, arm rest height, etc, mirror on the half door?

bebe · Jun 22, 2012

I've driven rigs with no doors (a friends TJ) and I have a visual issue with seeing the freeway below me when I'm driving, so I have to figure out a way to fix that, which is why I like the Mesh.

Arm rest yes - Rick and I will do the Mirrors.

How about a thin metal skin that you just replace if it gets damaged?

I like the thin metal skin idea. My doors arent nearly as nice as how bebes will turn out but I used a thin sheet of metal to protect me from tree branches. They can really jack you up, I remember recons story about his friend.

Stoked to see the final product!

Ok, we just spent the last hour going over design details...I think we are going to do the mesh inside the tube, and then where my visibility get screwy, we'll skin over the mesh from the back with some color painted aluminum sheet inserts.

x2 on the mesh! Can't wait to see it!

That's not as dumb as you think in the rear. The thing is that she, and most of us that want some too, want to use the OEM hinges and latches. Suicide doors would require reversing the hinges and latch. We want keep our factory doors for everyday use.

Just thinking about door configurations and looking at the height etc. I thought of a crazy idea that might work. Looking at where my steps bolt on to the OEM sliders.......... What about drop down doors that act as steps to get in the vehicle as well ???

Pappibri · Jun 23, 2012

I cant wait to see the end result.. I am confident they will be awesome, as is the other stuff you have done and come up with...

Next thing you gotta do for weight savings is pull off the rear door. Its heavy as hell. With a tube door in the rear you would make it lighter lower the COG and it would look badass! Mesh can be used for keeping everything in. I gotta draw a picture of a design in my head I have a badass image lol

a lot of Baja trucks etc. just use the mesh. I have seen a lot on pickups that use this method.

Bebe...I wish I could get my rear springs to sit like yours in that first photo.

Now to look for some mirrors.
