I didn't see this info anywhere here when I searched so here it is. If you ever wondered how much those stock door beams weigh on your second gen, 12.5lbs ea. If you don't have a full cage with NASCAR style door bars look elsewhere for weight loss, those 12.5lbs will save your bacon.

Each beam earns you almost 7 ft of 13/4" .095 DOM

 

door beams eh?? dont think i need those btw, wut did ppl here do about their sunroof? i replaced mine with a sheet of aluminum flashing and riveted on.

 

stock door beams on 1st gens weigh 11 pounds each

 

Stock door beams should only be removed as explained above(nascar door bars), or in an AX car.

 

he he, AX car = no beams
1900lbs here I come!

 

ya, never remove those door beams unless you got at least 2 or 3 horizontal bars and a few vertical bars supporting the horizontal bars. We made the mistake of removing the door beams on a 2nd gen and ive never seen a door cave in so easilly.
