This really makes me want an Area 51 squatch.

I’m interested in seeing how easy this actually is since I’d like to run doorless as often as possible but don’t want it to be something I just never get around doing... surprisingly I don’t see a lot of Jeep Wranglers run doorless in Florida.So the upper hinge bolt goes in from the bottom and the lower one from the top when putting the doors back on. How many of us idiots will get that backwards? Lol.
Why in the world would they have a square nut instead of a round nut? I have a wrangler and the doors are annoying as hell to line up as it is, adding the fact that you have to get it at the perfect angle as well is almost cruel.
It’s square because the door hold-open feature is incorporated into the hinges, you need that flat surface for it to work.I’d have to examine it but probably so the flat areas can transfer load in certain conditions. Fully round has a point of transfer but a flat surface you can safely assume the whole area shares the impact. Will make the structure more reliable even when built to a ‘loose’ tolerance.
Couldn’t agree more.For garage hanging, why not attach to the wall the same hardware (must be fabricated) that’s on the vehicle. Mount the door on the hardware and swing it “closed” so the door is safely parallel to the wall? Sounds like a nice aftermarket product!
I don't think putting them is going to be that hard by hand(the weight of them don't sound to heavy)i think the important things is remembeing to hold them at the same angle that you take them off at and when he putts them back on he looks at the point where the it locks on to the square nut that is the most important bit to get lined up so the door the locks in place ready for the bolts.Wondering that too!! I'm a lady doors can crushingly heavy to move around!! Taking off not a problem it's putting back on! How easy did that look?
Flannel looking good!!!?
Tops and doors really need to be handy in Florida with the showers that pop up. I went into a movie on a beautiful top down jeep day and came out with 2 inches of water in the floorboard.I’m interested in seeing how easy this actually is since I’d like to run doorless as often as possible but don’t want it to be something I just never get around doing... surprisingly I don’t see a lot of Jeep Wranglers run doorless in Florida.
i never considered them either, but even if just for the extra handles they provide, let alone scratch protection when walking around with them, they seem worth it.I never considered the door covers because I would never store them in the back and drive around. However after watching this, they would be very handy for garage storage. Much better than laying down blankets and towels like I do now and lean then against the work bench.
