Dual Hinges on A SCAB?
Has anyone attempted to install a dual hinge on their SCAB's rear doors? BY dual hinge I mean something similar to the new Silverado where you can open the rear door all the way up against the bed. I noticed in tight spots it can be tough getting stuff in the back with these suicide doors.

mbogosia, You have a great point. It can be frustrating at times. Try putting your kid in the scab in the pouring rain in a tight spot!!! DARN it gets to be a shuffle.....open front door, open scab, close front door a little, sneek by......etc etc.....

If you wanted the option, you should have gotten something foriegn. Try parking in an area the has more room around your truck. Or have the passenger open the passenger/drivers door, then open the Scab door while standing between them instead of doing it the way you're are now....

LOL. Yeah I was just exploring this. I can easily live with my truck how it is, I just thought it would be cool to see if anyone has done this or if it is possible. I mean if someone came out with a kit for a couple hundred I might try it out someday.
