Sagging Door Hinges
My door isn't lining up properly. It looks like the Hinges where there welded to the body is sagging Any ideas? Mostly i need ideas on how to push them back into place. Cuz the other parts i'd have to take the doors off I get that Just don't understand how i'm goin to be able to push the hinges back in.

The door hinge needs to be welded if it's separating from the A-pllar.
Here's a good writeup to give you some insight http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoDoorHinge.htm

No problem. It shouldn't take too long to do as long as you have the right stuff. Have somebody pry on the hinge till it's flat against the A-pillar and tack weld it on. Remove the prybar and finish the weld. After that, just a coat of paint and your done.

What I did with my brother's jeep was open the door, stick a floor jack underneath the door and jack it up until the hinge is flat against the body. Kinda ghetto/shadetree, but it worked.
