I went a little short on the center sections so I'll be extending them to fit all doors, but some 1" schedule 40 pvc, a dolly from harbor freight, and some pipe inuslation and it worked great. I followed instructions from a jeep forum.
My plan (have yet to do) was to build a frame the size of the rear cargo area of the 4 door and utilize the onboard storage bags.

Door Holder
- 3 - 10' X1" 450 PSI PVC pipe (200 is cheaper but less sturdy)
- 5 - 1" pipe insulators
- 14 - 1" PVC elbows
- 10 - 1" PVC TEEs
- Furniture Dolly
- 8oz PVC Cement
- Electrical Tape Roll 3M
- 1 ½ PVC Cutter (Helps with any and all PVC Projects)
Step 1: Cut the PVC Sections
- Cut the pipe into 10 - 19” Sections
- 8 - 2.5" Sections
- 4 - 6” Sections
- 7 - 1’ Sections
Cost is $95.86 before Tax ($20 less without PVC Cutter)
Step 2: Put Together the Verticals
Connect two 19” sections and one 1' section with elbows.
Do this 5 times.
Step 3: Start the Base
Create two base sections each with a TEE, 6” section, TEE, 6” section,
TEE.
Before you press them together too hard make sure that all of the TEE
sections are pointing down and flat on the ground. This will help to
ensure they all point straight up.
Then connect three of the vertical sections into these.
Step 4: Cross Members and Ends
Create two sections each with a 2.5" section, TEE, 2.5" section, elbow.
Then connect the two sections at the TEE with a 1' section.
Connect this to the one end of the main base and add a vertical upwards from the elbows.
Step 5: Foam It Up!!
Cut the foam pipe insulators to fit every
section of 1" pipe you can.
The insulators are split down the middle
and are self adhesive so you can cut them,
wrap them around and secure them in
place very easily. Wrap the insulators with
electrical tape to help seal and preserve
the foam.

I can't remember where I got the instructions from, but it was a JL forum.

Love this! I love that it's on rollers.I went a little short on the center sections so I'll be extending them to fit all doors, but some 1" schedule 40 pvc, a dolly from harbor freight, and some pipe inuslation and it worked great. I followed instructions from a jeep forum.

Any concerns that the door sitting on its bottom edge for an extended period of time will cause damage?I went a little short on the center sections so I'll be extending them to fit all doors, but some 1" schedule 40 pvc, a dolly from harbor freight, and some pipe inuslation and it worked great.

I don’t have enough floor space for a rack, nor enough wall space to hang the doors on the wall. I was thinking about utilizing the space up against the ceiling over the garage door. I have seen many ideas for shelving systems over the garage door. What do you guys think about simply laying the doors flat on a shelf, with some protection like a storage bag to protect the paint? Has anyone tried this? Do you think the aluminum door panel can handle the weight of the door without denting the panel? Or would it be better to lay the door on the plastic side? I have a four-door… Is the weight of the door and the size of the door manageable to lift up a few steps of a ladder to put them up on a high shelf?
Was thinking of something like this. While this is for jeep I’m hoping it would only take a change to hinge spacing to work. Waiting until I get mine in September!

Anyone have a 2-door version of this?
Answering my own question above regarding storing the doors on a high shelf up against the garage ceiling... I was able to lift the rear doors over my head and climb the couple of steps on the ladder to place them up onto the high shelf, and that was pretty sketchy.. climbing the ladder essentially no handed. I was not at all comfortable doing this with the front doors which are another 10-15 lbs heavier.
