I love those pics deep in the trees. Makes me want to move to the Pacific Northwest.
What are the specs on what you used for the door quick-disconnect. Looks like a bolt with the threads cut off?

yeah i just used 6" long 5/16 bolts with 5/16 washers and hitch pins

really simple

 

[crawlin91]

Ok, any slop in them or are they snug fit?

 

[WoodyB2]

they are a snug fit, I am very pleased with them. I removed the spring on the bottom hanger for easier on/off. I can take them off and put them back on by myself.

Cool, Im going to do this myself, probably drill a hole in the bolts and add a retaining pin as well. +rep for you

Yeah i have access to a mill at work, so i used that, if you have a problem drilling the hole try grinding a flat spot on the bolt.

I did this door disconnect mod today on my 1992 Ranger
5/16" bolts were way too small of diameter and 3/8 was a touch too big. I used 3/8 bolts and drilled through the brackets and bronze bushings. I would imagine Ford changed the hinge size with the 2nd gen vehicles, not sure but that was my experience.:icon_cheers:

 

[WoodyB2]

They might have changed them, sorry it didn't work out as easy with yours. glad you got them to work though

 

[WoodyB2]

whats this that just happened to follow me home today?

also a few more pics from TSF

 

[Grunizzle]

Are you getting the doubler kit from DD machine?

 

[WoodyB2]

yeah, i am planning on getting one soon.

 

[Grunizzle]

Its a good kit. I recommend ordering it by phone though. I got ahold of him he first time I called and had the kit 5 days later. Others have had issues so just be weary. Regardless of his customer service I dont think anyone could beat his kit.
