Default Doorless 2 door

I have a 2 door with power windows and locks. Is there a way to just un plug the wiring instead of cutting and doing disconnects?

yeah but you will have to completely take apart your door every time to unplug all the wires inside there.. just cut and make disconnects it will be worth it

How about actually bolting them back up is there a trick to it? We did it with my buddys power waggon and when we put the door back on it kept catching on the fender

yeah rather than unbolting them each time, cut the hinges so they are like the CJ/Wrangler door hinge where half stays bolted to the door and the other half on the XJ and the pin just slides in.

And instead of just telling you to search, I will do the right thing and help you find the info you need.

I'd like to unbolt it if I could I'm too scared I'll mess up something like that plus I'd like to keep it close to stock if I had to sell her

No you don't!

Unbolt them once and you will A realize how much of a pain it is to unbolt them and B realize how much of a pain it is to get them lined up again after you unbolt them. I unbolted mine to make it easier to cut the hinges, it almost wasn't worth it.

So why is this piece cut on an angle? Also what can I use for wire disconnects? I have power windows and locks

thats cut because if you look closely the edge are cupped. that cupped edge will not allow you to lift the door on and off of the hinges. as far as disconnects go to radio shack. they have all sorts of connectors there. of you can just use bullet or spade connectors tho i personally think that would be a pain

And cut the wires at the rubber tube between the door and cab would be easiest right?
