Default Door problem. Its not sagging.

I recently got my 91 cherokee, all stock and a passenger side door that is wedged into the front fender as well as the windshield support beam.
When I dare open it it's not drooping, and closing it is a pain as it barely catches the pin. All the rest of the body panels and doors line up correctly except this one. Ive checked underneath for any obvious damage and haven't seen any.
I would just give it a 2x4 alignment job but there is a little cracking on the door hinge welds, and i don't want to finish em off early.

Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. And my apologies if this belongs in fab, i wasn't sure

does the upper hinge look like it's coming off the body? usually got to straighten them out and reweld. it's a common XJ annoyance. Had to do both of mine.

The hinges look pretty solid except for the shallow cracking. I forgot to mention that the previous owner drove it around for awhile with a smaller passenger side front tire. Would that be enough to tweak it? It actually seems to have gotten worse over the past couple of weeks
