how to remove door bars?

[Clied]

How would you remove them? Are the just bolted on and would i be able to put the door panel and everything back on without them in place? Also for those that have removed how much do those things weigh?

 

[figgie]

remove door bars? Sure

remove door. Do not reinstall door. Done. No door bars.

Remove the bumper support while you're at it.

why would you like to risk your life for some minor weight reduction...?

One of the reasons I bought a supra is those anti tbone bars, heavy doors means a little safety.

Alright I get it...You all think its a dumb question. I was just curious about it since I saw in one of the weight reduction threads, someone mentioned removing them.

For get reducing weight. Just add more power = )

On a somewhat related note... I removed them as well as both front and rear rebars on my AE86...

OEM stylez though, fo realz.

(Japan didn't have side impact beams or rebars on the AE86... I happened upon a set of rust free AE86 doors that I couldn't resist. Also, the Japanese AE86's do have "bumpers" inside the bumper covers, they just aren't a full rebar like we had, not even close, lol.)

In any case, the weight savings isn't worth the safety loss IMO. Stick with the impact beams. I know I'd rather have them -- even in the AE86.
