Barn door conversion

[my99hoe]

was wondering if anyone has or thought about doing barn door conversion i hate my hatch and my suburban had barn doors, really want barns on my tahoe... can it be done? i know anything is possible, but i want easy conversion!! like bolt on....

short answer. sell the truck, buy one with doors. you would have to do a ton of work to get it swapped. theres a few threads on the question already.

Hate the hatch! I love my hatch and don't care for the barn doors as it obstructs my view out the back through the rear view mirror. But yea, you would have to do some cutting and drilling.

i was skimming thru threads and didnt see much of anything on it so thought id start new thread, and i cant sell it just put $3k under hood!! lol

theres a few threads but they lead to nowhere. the cost and labor in trying to switch it would be ridiculous, and it would have to end up 99.9% perfect for it to ever seal right. last thing you want is to die from the exhaust fuses coming in the back doors! haha

i must say i love my hatch as well. now if the barn doors opened all the way to the side of the truck i would be down for doors. that and not put a pillar in the rear view mirror...

If I could I'd trade my doors for a hatch.
