Default No Doors!!

so today i did the door mod where you cut the pins and put in pins you can pull out etc... best thing i think ive ever done to the jeep so far! but i was wondering if anybody knows an easier way to put the doors back on by my self, they are a little heavy and awkward to hold up and slide the pins in at the same time, any tips???

hahaha yeah that would help alot, took me about a half hour to finally get them on, including cursing and banging on stuff haha

its still 10x better than having to bolt them back up though and having to realign them everytime
