Modifying Rear Barn doors?
Hey guys,
Just joined here as part of doing some research, and ran into a question that I couldn't find answered after searching here and other places.
Is there any way to modify the rear barn doors on the excursion to open wider?
One of the requirements I have is to be able to put something in the back thats a bit over 50'' wide. I went to carmax recently armed with a tape measurer and found out that the rear cargo area of the excursion should suffice for this (~53'' across IIRC if you move the spare tire) but the distance between the barn doors was down in the 46-48'' range.
I saw the flat metal pieces that held the doors in place while open, but I don't remember whether or not the hinges were oriented in a way that would allow opening wider.
Anyway, has anyone done this before? If not would it be possible?
Thanks in advance for the help.
