I'm wanting to remove the doors on my Cherokee. I've looked on a bunch of sites but I haven't really found the answer yet because most sites say that to remove the doors you have to do some cutting. Is this necessary? Are there any sites with a step by step tutorial on how to remove the doors? Thanks for the help!

 

The only thing you have to worry about is the light switch. If you bypass that, you should be able to remove the doors with no problems!! HTH!! IIRC, there is no cutting to do....anyone else??

still involves cutting, i'd like to take the doors off to, and i had a hell of a time getting them off my parts jeep

 

get torques set
remove pin from the door limiter
open door as far as you can
un bolt hinge

 

cutting is 100% better than any other method. easier to get on/off x10, better to align them..so on.

mine are cut (in fact that write up posted is mine) and i have suffered 0 ill effects from it over 4 years+ now. if u didnt look to see, youd have no idea they were cut or anything was altered the way the doors operate.

i can remove all 4 doors as fast as i can walk around the jeep and pick them up

 

ive been wanting to take mine off but didnt want to deal with the alingment trouble of puttin them back on. i think im gonna give this a shot thanks for the good writeup heavy metal

 

no problem!

 

Hey heavy, do the q-logic panels get in the way of your feet? Sorry to hijack the thread.

 

so, you only cut off the bottem half of the hinge? and then leave it?im also wondering about the kick panals

 

basically, yes

 

Ok, question? After this is done, how is the best way to re-align the doors so they close and seal good?

Thanks,
J

 

They should close and seal well with no re-alignment.

 

you don't need to if you follow the directions

 

My doors are already out of alignment, so, what the best easiest way to align them before I take them off?

Thanks,
J
