Ignore the half-door part, and there you go! I haven't done it, but he seems pretty thorough with it.

That video is for 84-96 jeeps. His jeep is a 99, so the hinges are completely different. Therefore that video is useless to him. Lol

do you have to lift the door up to close it? and what way did you do it

Mine sags a bit, but that could be fixed with a 3/8th inch bushing in the hinge. I don't care enough to add one lol. Door shuts fine

No, I do not have to lift the door to close it. I cut the hinges of and welded grade 8 hardware on the door. Note: Make the top pin is shorter, so when you lift the door it will clear the fender.
