Barn Door Hinge
Am I the only one who did not know you could juse push a little clip and pop the hinge off and make the barn doors open all the way? Makes getting stuff in and out so much easier with the trailer hooked up.

Same setup on my E150 company service van. Makes it really easy to load/unload if you have to stand to the side of the item.

Nah, you're not. Just wait a couple years and someone will come along and make a thread just like this one and you can pass the mantle.

Stewart, is there a way to block APOC from seeing this post? I can just see another thread popping up about us going over a potential Ex purchase for him.
