Thread showing barn door mods?

Is there a thread showing barn door mods? I did a search but couldn't find anything.

Looking for ideas, seems they would be a perfect place to add some storage or even a pair of subs or something.

If anyone has done any mods to them, I'd love to see pics as well as info on how it's worked out long-run.

I did storage, and someone else did subs (2 people I think). Search all 2000 threads I started and you'll find it lol.

I'm making a fibreglass box for my subs in the barn doors...but I'm REALLY moving slow with this project.

I'll see if I can't dig up the pictures somewhere

Barn door storage

I remember coming across some pics of barn door mods that users had done to convert the barn doors into storage areas.

If anyone has done that I'd love to consolidate the pics here for reference, as well as the pros/cons of the mods.

Thanks guys, I did find some of those old threads but the pics were gone.

Thinking of building something like this to keep small items/tow straps etc in there if it can be done without too much fabrication.

I'm a bit concerned with the additional noise this might allow inside the cabin though.

I too, would be interested in seeing storage ideas for the rear barn doors. I know I have to get in there soon to fix my rear door locking mechanism so the timing is right to make some new storage.

Making some plywood panels for them now with little doors to cover the holes, will update once done. Holds a lot of stuff in there.

Tom, in looking for those old pics from previous threads, I found your thread from 3 years ago where you were asking basically the same thing. That old thread had pics so I figured it would be easier for you to have both threads combined.

Awesome, thank you. Been thinking about this for a while, obviously.

Very nice work! I was looking at mine yesterday, thinking of exactly the same route.

Slow progress, got distracted by my running boards which I’m now replacing, but here’s the panel for one of the doors. Going to install a net webbing to the right of the compartment hole for quick access items.
