Ok ..Im usually on the s10-forum but I decided to post here for the 1st time...sorry for it needing to be for help...but ...well Ive been at this for a small time and I just started meshing the hinges into the jambs...HERES MY PROBLEM... when I put the hinges outwards as though the door is open I check it with my leveler and it says its level....THAN...when I close the door its off....what the hell...Im not sure if anyone else ran into this ...I have my cuts almost exactly to SUICIDEDOORS.."HOW-TO"...and I've looked at countless others....The hinges also look as though they go a bit farther than they should...I took pics...lmk...thanks ...



HERE...IS WITH THE DOOR HINGES SWUNG OPEN AND WITH A LEVELER ATTACHED....

oh well i tried to post your pics.

dam ...I thought thats how you post pics...in other forums thats how you do it ...hmm...well I have the URL's there...kind of sux though...most people wont look...

if they are level when the door is open but not when shut. that means the hinges are not 100% perpendicular to the ground.

so what does that mean ...do I need to make the hinges move towards the cab counterclockwise to raise them up?

Here ya go.

Looks like I forgot 2 of them.Here ya go.

for a minute there i thought this topic was about an actual suicide attempt..

It looks like your pockets arent lined up properly. Put a level on the actual pockets you welded in and check their level. It seems that the bottom hinge needs to be moved slightly right( or counter clockwise).

Takes balls to try it.. looks like you'll get it starightened out.. good luck
