Doors' bumpers diagram

[DedkovCZE]

Do anyone have a diagram about replacing doors' bumpers? I ordered Trialmaster but I l'm thinking about replace these airplane rails 'cause I won't have any use for them and I found so many diagrams about different parts but I haven't seen this one.

The rails are a built in feature, not a delete option. You can cover them with strips to keep dirt out.
If you remove them you will have to fill the holes and repaint. That would be costly.

There's a couple of threads running on the utility belt.

I think this one is a good starter for 10:

On the other versions they just have a black plastic strip.
I am sure you will be able to buy those as a spare part.
Worry about it after you get your vehicle

I think it looks better WITH the rails!

Well, I've looked at few picture and I think they'll be able removable by unscrew their screws without dismantle whole doors but I am not sure.

Well it depends on that I'll finish my order. I'm not sure I'll do that.

You have to hope that there's decent captive nuts on the inside.

You could even swap them out for wood inserts and have a bit of a homage to yesteryear:

They are a tool you will find a use for them .

Looking at this photo again - excluding the roof grab rails - side on it looks a dead ringer for my old Gelandewagen

That is a little bit like looking at a woman (insert man/farm implement etc) and saying "I don't have a need for that curve so I shall not go out with her" You do and 30 years later you say "that is a nice curve" What may not be appealing or attractive today may become very useful and interesting tomorrow. Even if tomorrow is in a different century. After 45 years of marriage requirements change.

I don't like wodden cars. Sry mate.

I don't think so when you have to strip everything down when you enter tarmac road. It will be just a collector of dirt. I'm in EU.

I didn't say it's my deal breaker. I'm just still thinking about Toyota LC J7. Less comfort, less complex, less PCs but it's just a little cheaper with some upgrades than IG. And just 1GR-FE VVT-i option in my country.

Im thinking more along the lines of workbench work area easy enough to carry some attachable worksurfaces .

Well you know, if it's easy to remove I can put it back easily.

I have plans for these. I have seen too many people exit cars and slam the door into the side of other cars. I am thinking a triangle bit of metal on the slant to protect my door and make the other person regret there life choices...

Fortunately Ineos had there designer understand proportions and managed to have the cab height not as tall as the G Wagon and the rails break up the flat door panels quite well in my opinion.

My 1983 G Wagen is 1975mm high.

The Grenadier is 61mm higher at 2036mm.
