How-to Remove A Roll-Up Door - Super Easy - Box Van Life Arizona

[@alainarchambault2331]

Yeah, I'm in that process now, which is why I'm looking at these various videos. Oddly enough, I have a roll-up door that doesn't display a cable on the outside. I'm assuming it's within the paneling. Secondly, since I want a stealth aspect, I want to utilize the door as a facade with a backing applied so that it lifts out to provide an awning. I'm not willing to cut into the hinges for that matter. I've removed the stops in preparation of rolling it off the end as one complete assembly. I will remove as much hardware as possible as long as I can maintain the appearance of a normal rolling door. This is so I can render it as light as possible.

I thought about doing that, but it was much easier for me to get rid of it to install AC, etc.

This is super awesome vlog buddy

Very informative my friend

If you're ever building one of these I hope it'll help you out. Thanks for stopping by.

Your right, that was relatively easy. The ole war wagon is coming along nicely. Good job. Thank you

You took out the best feature of a box van !!! My god, you had a removable wall/window/door that made you feel like you were living outside. WHY ?!?! You CAN insalate the door also !

[@danblake3265]

When it's hot is when I use it most. Too late now, but I would have just covered the back with a false wall. Then if you, or someone wanted it someday.....

​@danblake3265 I've been living in the truck around 8 months a year now, and I'm really happy I removed that noisy door. Goodbye to the dirt and dust, and the floor plan is perfect. It also gave me a place to mount a large metal cabinet for generators, tools, etc. in a very organized fashion. After my experience with the truck both with and without that door I couldn't be happier that I did this.

Super cool project 👍

[@motocache6645]

Thanks for the video, I was planning to deploy the same method of grinding off the pin of each hinge, glad I got to see that method in action.

[@Fit4Expedition]

Cool! I hope it helps.

[@thedailydanblog247]

Very interesting stuff

[@Fit4Expedition]

Thanks Dan. I'm glad you thought so.

[@tracyphillips3325]

One step closer. Can't be having no burning hair,😂. Take care Greg and Kelly 👍

[@MellowNomadicAdventures]

Nice! This is a major step! Easier than I thought it would be!

[@Fit4Expedition]

Me too. Thanks for watching and commenting too Marshall.

[@cruisingwildchild370]

You made that look easy...

[@RayCalvert]

I closed my door and cut it into small 2 foot pieces with my chain saw until it all fell apart.

[@Fit4Expedition]

That sounds like great hack.

[@TOTALLYRELAXED]

“Is my hair on fire???” 😂😂😂….so funny, Kelly! Great video, Greg! I simply LOVE these DIY videos….especially from people you actually KNOW! You could make these everyday far as I’m concerned! Lol! Stay safe y’all! ~Jim~

[@paulreinhardt6052]

I’m concerned with the tension in the spring at top. How did you prevent any injury when that unwinded? I know the home garage door springs can be really dangerous.

[@Fit4Expedition]

Honestly, there wasn't much tension. There wasn't much to the whole job as I remember it it's been a while.

[@mattv3395]

@@Fit4Expedition I was concerned about that also somebody tried to un screw it and the spring almost snapped in their face... was it better to use saw?

[@Fit4Expedition]

@@mattv3395 We used a grinder. It worked well for us.

[@NomadicVanman]

Going to be real nice once the wall goes up. A door in the back too????

[@lifeoflucretia]

QUESTION: what do you do with something like that AFTER removal?

[@Fit4Expedition]

I'm going to use the plywood for building my bed and storage compartments. Thanks for asking Lucretia.

[@russellsmith159]

This isn't a rollup.

[@Fit4Expedition]

Not anymore.
