I was never happy with the previous door on this bumper, and I finally came up with a revised design that I think I'll like. So while I was getting parts plasma-cut for the new front bumper, I got these, too.  It's surprisingly heavy, though.

Unlike the previous hinged door, this one slides out & becomes a platform.  It does interfere with lowering the t/g when it's out, but I doubt that will ever be a problem.  It can't fall off, but only 2 bolts hold it on, and only 1 needs to be completely removed to take the door off.

The oval is the handle, and it's slightly loose to allow a better grip.  After it's powdercoated, I'll add nylon washers & maybe springs to keep the oval from rattling.
