So I have been trying to figure out a way to get my doors
off I can't un bolt them cause my socket won't fit in there I can't cut them bc my grinder or my cut off wheel won't fit in there So I'm at a loss but I want them off very soon I just can't get em off! So any tricks yall might have let me know please!
Thanks
Boots

A dremel should do the trick read this http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/f...99/index4.html

 

I used a dremel with cut off wheels it barely made the cuts necessary. I think if you have the remote head it would be a lot easier.

I bet you could use a sazall too if you had the right blades.

 

A nice powerful air chisel

 

ya i couldnt get my dremal to work then i tried a sawzal and that almost worked but the blades kept jumping out and fawking them up so i might go and get a cheapy air saw maybe thatll work

 

I used a 90* air powered die grinder with a cut off wheel attached....took me about 10 minutes per side. If you unhook the checkstrap I think you can get the door to swing open a little further. I also had a bolt or two on mine that a grabed with visegrips and broke loose.

with a 3" wheel on it??? i think i had already tried it but i will try again this has been a spontaneous project for a couple months i just keep trying it when i get bored

 

 

I stole that pic from X1994J's build page. Seemed to work for him LOL

 

well i am probably not going to do that but just i side note are all these ways you guys are saying worked for you, was you door still on or did you take it off cause i want to keep mine on when i am cutting it so i dont have to realign the gaps very much if an

 

well ya this thing is still kicking my *** i even tried to just unbolt them and then cut the hinges but i cant get a rachet in there its really pissin me off i want these freaking doors offffff!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is exactly what I used to cut my hinge pins while still attached to the Jeep:



The cheap dremel tool, and a cheap accessory kit was maybe $25-30 total. The kit comes with small cut-off wheels (the size of a quarter or a little bigger). It takes a few cut-off wheels total to cut all the pins, but it's the easiest (and cleanest) way it seems. I couldn't get most of my Torx bolts out while still on the Jeep.

 

so do you want to put them back on after? why take them off?

 

To make all the Wrangler driver's scratch their heads and wish they had gotten an XJ of course!
