I must have missed the issue. I have the outback gear with 2-piece doors (one outer, one inner). If you have a three piece setup and want to convert to 2 (I sure would), then it seems as simple as eliminating the middle door by allocating half to the each of the other two. You judge whether that gives you enough ground clearance but the kinematics shoud be simple. I'd be curious to know if there is more to it than this. Ed de Chazal, Rochester Michigan
