Then I wanted a sunroof so I cut a huge ****ing hole in what was left of the top.

BAM! When it rains it pours.

Comments:

When I had only the front doors off I got "What happened to your doors?" Response: "They blew off a couple miles back." *Drive away*

Once I'd chopped the rest of it up I just mostly get compliments and folks breaking their neck staring while driving down the road. Had one dude rear end a car in front of him cause he was staring at the Jeep.
You sir are an awesome distraction to cause someone to wreck because of how wicked your jeep looks

For 98+ is it best to weld in new bolts? And if so is it best with 5/16 bolts or drilling out the holes and using 3/8 bolts?

Weld in 5/16 bolts and drill out your hinge to 7/16 and put an oil impregnated brass bushing, OD 7/16, ID 5/16, in place. Doors will close like new with minimal sag from the fronts and no sag at all from the rear since they're lighter. You've got to weld in bolts or they'll move enough to annoy you

I think he was staring in disbelief that I destroyed a perfectly good vehicle.

^ Drill out to 7/16, weld 5/16" bolts... And McMaster-Carr has 5/16" ID - 7/16" OD... I think i ordered at least 6 of 2938T31 and cut to size. No sag
