Use the dremel it takes time and remove the door stopper it lets the door open more and the dremel fits in there and just cut away but be careful not to burn out your dremel i burnt my friends out and wasnt happy about replacing it

Also, if you do use a dremel and cut the pin, make sure you cut the top one as close to the top of the hinge or else you won't have enough room to pop it out to slip the door off.. I had that problem with the first pin I cut, and had to cut it again further up.

I used a small ratchet with a torx bit...wrenched both front and back doors right off..I then decided to replace the torx heads with normal bolts...i still dont understand why they use torx...they strip easy as sh**..after replacing with normal bolts I can use 2 cinderblocks to hold the doors up to my jeep and bolt em on and off in about 30 mins. Saved me from cutting them...Ive concluded that im leaving my doors on from now on though. Heard somethings about weak unibodys with no doors..
