    Anyone know of a thread or video on how to remove and reinstall a first gen door? I’m looking to replace my passenger door and not sure how involved or difficult it might be. Also interested in what a fair price for a door might be. Thanks!

    Its pretty easy.
    1. unhook the harness behind the kick panel and pull it out of the door jam.
    2. unbolt the door prop from the door jam. (2 bolts 12mil i believe)
    3. unbolt the two hinges.

    I list doors at $150 and have 1 passenger door for sale.

    Perfect thank you. Was thinking this might be more of a bitch than it appeared. XtraCab and Double Cab front doors are the same right?

    Its only difficult if the bolts are rusty.
    Yes regular cab, extra cab and double cab doors are all the same.

    I fabbed a tool to get in between the fender/door to get the hinge-to-body bolts in, however I have also accessed those bolts through the fender by partially removing the liner and reaching up there.
