After working No_rdplz 's doors both ways I'd recommend getting the bolts welded into place if I were doing it. It's cumbersome using a bolt and sliding it in and keeping it lined up. It's doable but just being able to drop the doors in is a huge help. I have a 97 but it has the old style hinges and to be honest the newer hinges are easier make door less. Just a little harder harder to make drop in because of the need of a welder.
I can easily have them welded in, i just have to pay for it. Maybe i can get the sheet metal welder at my shop to do it. But its hard to hide my Jeep in the shop so i dont get in trouble. Lol.

I think im gonna make them the welded ones. Take the time and do it right...preferably with a hand or two from someone with experience.

So this project will be a 2 day thing them. Take them off one day, drive to work doorless, weld in, probably never put doors back on.
