Suicide rear doors???

So I'm thinking about doing suicide rear doors on my 09 crew cab colorado while it's in the shop. What do you guys think? Yes or no?

I already have the donor ex cab doors and jambs to section and graft on. It is more than possible and for reference, Ekstensive Customs did an 07 silvey. As soon as I saw the step by step in Sport Trucks, I went to the dealer with a tape measure! I hope you beat me to it. I have the parts, but I still have to bring it my canyon back from the dead. i havent driven my money pit in months.:cry:

Do it, it will make it stand out that much more at shows. Maybe try to put the silverado hinges on it so it swings all the way open. It would be even nicer if you could shave out the b pillar but that would take some major reinforcing of the cab and you'd have to figure out a way to seal the door up.

Art wasn't really showing the suicide doors off at the WCSM'09. He was having some hinge and latch problems due to metal fatigue.

I think it looks cool on a show truck but is by no means anywhere near practical. Try doing a Chinese fire drill with cars parked on both side of you :lol:
