Decided since it was 72 here today I'd work on taking my other door off. My Dremle burned out a while a go before I got the chance to finish cutting through the hinges so I stuck a screw driver in there an uses the door as leverage to snap the other piece but that snapped the hinge pin in half. But I got them out and flip after some hammering

I also rearranged my cargo setup and vacuumed the interior out

Added soon hooks for tie downs since my tool box is covering the stock ones

And added some edge trim to the doors to protect the pain when taking the doors off

And changed the speedo gear back to the stock 34 tooth

I didn't flip any thing. I pounded the pin and bottom price of the hinge off, pressed the pin out, then pressed it it from the top as best I could with out removing the hinge

Yup after taking a good look, the 99 only has top and bottom tabs on the hinge so i would have to build another set half doors or tube doors. Unlike the 95 I had where I was able to cut the hinge like you did to make my doors removable. Not such an easy solution on the 99
