I wish I could have enough courage to cut up my hinges to become doorless. I'm to afraid of sagging doors

Definitely one of the best mods I've done so far! Get's a LOT of attention everywhere you go (so far all good) lol, including a bright yellow TJ full of girls the other day




Also, no real problems with sagging doors.. didn't even have to adjust the rears as they don't seem to drop when opened.

Mine is a 2 door also. Seems the clearance toward the front where the door meets the pillar next to windshield is awful tight. Did u cut pins flush with body side of hinge? Just seems tight there. Working on mine now. 95 degrees here today!

A tip someone gave me was to round/taper the pins and concave the hinge with a drill bit. Makes heavy 2 door easier on!
