It's a pain, but you can do it.

yea i saw the slot but could not get it on the bolt for the life of me lol. ill try it again soon, it was crazy hot out and underneath the hot jeep i just wanted to quit lol

Yeah, I know what you mean there. That's why it took me so long to do mine. That, and if I lay on my driveway for more than five minutes, I get eaten up by ants.

Alrighty. Got a few things done in the last day or two. Went doorless its so nice. Cut the hinges. They're easy to get off but kinda hard to aim to put them back on by yourself. I put a cb in and tucked the antenna wire and also wired up a PA system to it so I can tell at people haha but here's some pics. Oh and also made a flagpole. A very redneck flagpole out of some pins and a metal broom handle that I took the ends off and drilled some holes into but it works and that's all that counts lol and also remounted my streamlight

It wasn't that bad. My one hung was broken in half so had to be welded before I could cut it. And the pin was broken too. I took all the torx bolts off first and then cut the hinges and the little square pieces then put them back on then aligned the door and tightened em up. It's not too hard just go for it lol. Used an angle grinder.
