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

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.
