I used hitch pins and No, no sag at all. j8benson can vouch for that. He came and picked some parts up yesterday and checked it out. Maybe i can post a video....

I loved going doorless in my last XJ. I took every precaution I could come up with and find but the doors never really fit right again. Sure did look and feel cool, though.

Basically two officers stopped me and my friend. Officers were black, male and female. Both my buddie and I are white.
The lady was the driver, and asked if I knew that driving around Milwaukee without doors was illegal. I said no. They let me go.
Later I called the district and was informed that driving doorless was NOT illegal.
I call racism. No joke.

Well I followed the same write up and I use bolts for door pins but my doors are really saggy. I did this about two summers ago and I have only taken the doors off like 10 times because of the wire hassle and lining the doors up. I can take the doors on and off by myself, its just the wiring; having to jam it back through the hole can suck somtimes. Heres some info on my experiences
- The upper door pin the drivers side has to go in from bottom - up, then held on with a nut because the metal of the door blocks the bolt from going in top to bottom. The nut once fell off and almost lost the door when getting back in the truck from picking up my g/f ... nice

Okay so would anyone with a 97+ tell me how they got their doors to not sag? Like an indepth how too..
Because mine sag about 1 1/2 inches right now, I don't care if they sag a little I just want them to be able to close on their own.

The bolts have to be snug in their holes. drill to 3/8" bolts. The only reason they sag is from loose hinge pins
