I have an 89 cherokee and I like to have the doors off during the summer in wyoming. I just needed a newer door hinge that will work for simpler removal and putting them back on. Any ideas?

Well my doors all have two hinges that have mounting plates with three bolt holes that connect to the door. Any ideas on fabricating an open and lift off style hing?

very easy to do takes maybe 30 MIN with all the tools use the search and you will find all the info you need but in a nutshell.....
un-bolt the doors
cut the lower section of the door side half of the hinge
slide the hinge half off of body half
remove the cut piece stil remaining on the door side half
MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE COPPER SLIDE IN WHERE THE PIN GOES
You are basically there at this point make sure you read a how to with pictures but that gives you a basic idea of what needs to be done, tools you will need are:
Hammer,Grinder,Pliers,Torx Bit,Welder (for passenger side pin needs to be flipped and welded), PB Blaster, Patients ( always good to have on hand )

Here's mine. There is no shim on mine because somebody welded them to the old one door I replaced..
But the bottom of the shim will need to be notched to make door removal easy.
