Who's gonna be the first to rock this mod?

 

[Muzikman]

MC, that has you written all over it.

 

[Jodokast872]

wow, i guess when have run out of mods, people think of strange things. im trying to figure out who thinks "damn, thats a sweet mod".

dont get me wrong who here wants to see ponyboys x with labo doors.

 

[Lonesome Crow]

When you do that, don't forget to add the 5" "ricer" exhaust and the under car neon.

 

[willgr1]

yeah.....

....some of those kits actually work pretty well (not talking about on an X specifically)...that specific kit sucks @ss.....i dated a girl who had it on her sunfire....doors would not line up properly, and the shock looking things (brain fart on what they're actually called....finals studying sucks..) went up almost on a monthly basis....

...i would personally never put such a kit on any car, not only does it not look good, but they quality is just not there.

That would work great on pretty narrow trails where you can't fully open the door...

That is what the back hatch is for!

I am thinking gull-wing doors (like a DeLorean) would be much cooler looking on an X. They would still be stupid, IMO, but would look better.

 

[syndicate]

I'm thinking a "doorless" mod would be cooler.

You would still need someone to open the hatch for you. I wish there was a hatch release on the inside, it would make it easy to crawl out of the back when you sleep in the X, rather than having to go out of a door.

sounds like a new mod to me....who's gonna be the first???

 

[DBAX]

Gen1s had an inside release mod, basically yanked from the old Pathys. I'll root around and see if I can find a link..
Yeah, you'd have to goto "xterraparts.com" and search "hatch release or emergency trunk release", but it's there. And it's out of stock, sooo, I dunno.

 

[Driver X]

i wanna do suicide doors to the rears of the X. if they open up that way there is so much more room for people to get in and out. gain approx 7-8" opening. but ill wait for someone else to do it before i do, so i can learn from their mistakes

 

[xterrock]

Please NO

 

[lifeinthesouth]

OK no one else has said it so i will... this idea is SO ***!

I've thought of that too. You can see from the photos in my Lift Gate Leak thread that it wouldn't be too hard to come up with something. The idea I had when looking at the 'guts' of the liftgate was a piece of wire with a ring on the end, to make a simple mechanical release, to do the same thing that happens when the exterior handle is used.

 

[Jang Pilmo]

to be honest with you i been thinkin about dis too

I actaully have da kit but havent put it on yet..

I got last september when i was down at NOPI in Atlanta.

i brought it from God Father Customs it is the Auto Loc doors..

i looked around for people to put it on but people say they it isit gonner work since the door gap on our X is too small and not enough room..

so even if i do put it on then i will only have a small gap when i open da door..
so im still pending on it..

and it is a Universal kit...

if you want to go the fancy route, you can buy a trunk release solenoid and mount a button somewhere.

you can find the trunk release kits online for roughly $20 shipped

I swear I have seen a "How To" on this somewhere. Time to go looking.......

 

[Lyrex]

Found some stuff on it.....

All of the other threads I found are gone. So it looks like an exit handle is possible, but it would take some engineering to figure out. Hmmmmm, who would be up to that kind of challenge?
