I just saw an interesting thread not too long ago about doing this and he got like 7lbs out of each door. I searched and searched for like 2 hours last night, but i can't find the dang thread...anyone have pics or a link to the thread??

 

Here is a pic of mine.

 

oh wow, thanks man! how is the door rigidity? can you tell a difference or feel it as far as like armrests go and such?

 

That does look pretty

 

hehe, Friggin' Carlos is all over ANY lightweight mod out there.

 

I've cut mine down and I think all the pieces I got out might have weighed about a 1/2 lbs

 

Mine was combined weight of 3.5lbs.(1.75lbs per door) it still has enough structure to hold the window just fine. I just could not believe I would be able to get that much out of there.







Also brackets that are atached to the door bar on the rear of the door.
I completely removed those brackets and remounted the catch on the door itself using washers. I still got to get some new washers but it worked. Has been working fine for past 3 years. I can't remember how much those plates weighed though

 

what did you guys use to cut it out?

 

up top... how is the door rigidity after doing this? and what did you guys use to cut it?

 

my door is fine. It is still rigid. I used a hole saw and sawzall

 

thank you sir!

 

Door seems just as strong to me. I can pull the door panel handle and it doesn't flex or anything.
