anyone know of a write up on how to do it?

ROK

there is one on another cherokee forum, if you google it you can find a couple, one guy cut his hinges up and welded some pins in to have it so he could pull the plugs under the kick panel, disconnect the door helper, and pull the door up and off like a wrangler.


I cut the pins out after disconnecting everything, then went to Home Depot and got 4- 3" long 3/8" bolts, and nylock nuts. used a scribe to mark the outlines of the hinges, removed one from the door, drilled it out with a 3/8" drill bit, then put it back on lining it up before moving to the next.

The hinges on the car are a little larger than 3/8" so u wont need to drill them out.

You may have to grind down the inside of the door to slide the bolts or pins in, depending on where your hinges line up. On one of my doors the hinges were pretty far forward so the curvature of the door kept the bolt from sliding in even after i cut one side of the hex head off. After a little grinding with the dremel they slide in just fine, and the doors lined up pretty good. i only put the nylock nuts on the two top bolts, and I really dont think you would even need those. They do drop a small amount when the door opens, but the shut with no problems and seal up quickly. Now i can have my 2 front doors off in 10 minutes.

Just a few tips, but there are plenty of write-ups through google that will walk u through it.

Good Luck!!
