Making the B Pillar removable on a 4 door.

[wayoflife]

To each their own. Pretty interesting project. Personally I would think a huge door opening is gonna look......odd. Keep us posted on how it turns out. I’m intrigued.

LOL - "odd" isn't exactly the word that came to my mind but I'm sure it's a lot nicer.
That being said, I'd be lying if I didn't admit was intrigued as well. :crazyeyes:

Maybe he’s 12’ tall like Shaq.



I’m still betting there was a crack pipe involved though.

Everyone knows that 2 doors are better.

Well the original Jeeps had neither a B pillar nor a roll bar. They look a little funny now, but not back then.



This dude is chopping out the pillar but will have a full cage. So maybe it’ll look ok. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Maybe it’ll be the new trend, replacing angry grills, albeit with quite a bit more work.

Yeah, I own one....

Of course, it was never a 4-door :idontknow:

Full disclosure...my B pillar was removed from a four door as well...

No doors are best

You've got me so confused! I wanna say your fucking crazy, but then I think, maybe your a genius! I will withhold my full judgement until the end of the build. But right now I've got you 70/30 Nuts!

Yeah Ed, but to be fair your B pillar was replaced with a whole host of badassery.

I am in for the long haul. I even like how his pictures are showing a big over view. It is like a tease!:sFun_tease:

Does the factory cage in a 2 door tie into the rocker too like this?

Interesting
I chopped mine to line up with half doors but not sure why you want the whole thing gone.

 

[RockinAZJK]

I can’t decide how I feel about this. But you certainly have my attention. Some awesome fab skills there as well

I’m assuming your adding the lost frame strength with the full cage?

Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

The frame didn't actually loose any strength. I think you mean the body though. The body is 18ga, the plated I welded in is 3/16", so almost 4 times thicker.

well let me know when its all done. :thumb:

I don't know, probably does since it has a roll bar. regular vehicles that don't have roll bars have a reinforcement plated welded in where the seatbelt mounts.

 

[Bustedback]

Genius is just another form of crazy. Your fab skills are top notch, but I’m still not sure what the point of removing the whole B pillar is. I’m gonna follow along to see the end result though.
