Modded the front doors today to be able to lift off like a wrongler, if time allows tomorrow ill get to the rear doors.

ALSO have a friend looking to sale a Rustys steering box brace Kit wants $50 for it, the one that fits on both side of where the box mounts. Brand new still the box an wrapper. he sold the jeep before installing it.

Best mod I've ever done! I suggest ditching the bushing that's in the body side hinge and using a M10 bolt as your new hinge pin.

I did the same thing on my 88 doors, they sagged like the **** of an 80 year old biker chick after a few months.

Me and a couple buddies took one of their wranglers up to Aetna just to see if you can still get in thru the neighborhood and definitely still can. That's good news. No telling how far you can go before you'll get in trouble we just went in the entrance up to the top cause he's scared to drive like a man haha.

Trust me. They'll sag like an 80 year old bike chicks **** if you dont haha. Just don't weld those in place till you get some M10. They fit perfectly with basically zero slop in the hinge after the bushing are out.
