ok so im a bit nervous about going through with this and weakening of the hinges and the door not lining up. is there specially made hinges for this? can i instal wrangler hinges?
if your worried about strength then dont cut the hinge. soak the pins in pb for days. then take a torch and get the area around the pin glowing red then take a long punch and hammer the pins out. 6 ton jack stands work great for suppoting the door. take the pin to the hardware store and buy some grade 8 bolts the same size as the pin. or chrome bolts work too. before u put the bolts back in the hinge drill out the bushing thats in the part thats welded to the body. grease the bolts and drop them right in where the pins were. use brake grease or wheel bearing grease. u need something thicker than what comes out of a can lol
