I'd be more worried about the rust on that bracket, or rather under that bracket/carpet...if it looks like that on top, it's gotta be worse underneath

Loosen the bolts for the hood and move it around to level it. How did you manage to misalign everything

Was your Jeep always like that? The door looks like a different color from the fender, hood and door are tweaked... has it been in an accident?

Are the welds on your hinge mounts coming undone because that would cause the gap between the door and the front fender.
Ask me how I know.

Yep was in an accident checked the report.not total wrecks nothing bad.just bad enough that it broke glass they had the glass replaced the the fender and back hitch. There was a dent in passenger door small one though I got the dent out but maybe it cause the welds to be loose again.idk how to tell if it was the welds.

I don't believe the door check would cause the door to be misaligned. I second checking the hinge welds. Mine isn't misaligned but the welds are terrible.
And yes, the door check is fairly easy to replace.

Well the drivers side door hangs down more and when u open it.it brushes against the bottom part of the fender I can feel it when I open the door.when I close it I gotta hold it up to latch it.im pretty sure that not having any door check there is the cause of it.
