Ive heard the XJ's are prone to not wanting to line up if you unbolt them??

Whats the trick? and im planning on pulling all 4 doors

 

Don't unbolt them. Just cut the Lower half of hinge off and lift it up. There are a ton of write ups on this.

 

Just pull the pins? Inspect them before you put them back, they wear out.

They are an odd size, 7mm? I drilled one door to 5/16 and used Hex bolts long enough that I could cut off the threaded section and end up with a smooth pin the right length, but with a hex head.

 

Wellll alrighty then, thanks again. the forums dont seem to be loving me as much as usual, im having to post 3 times to get it to show once

 

mother of ****.

I just did the 4 door unbolt thing. its a pain in the ***, but its doable if you cared enough, record how many shims are on each hinge and youll have half the battle won, we used 2 - 3 people to do the job on my jeep.

I switched to 97 + doors in the front, and removed the rears for paint etc.

hours wasted, shoulda cut the hinges lol

 

thats probably what i was going to do, i was following "ericksXJ" over at jeep forum. that man is a GOD!
