Got the doors off my 99' xj no problem, just unbolted them from the door. So both the door and unibody hinges are still hanging and attached. I want to make my doors removeable. I found a link to a 97' and later doorless writeup searching to www.xjfanatic.com .......but you click the link and get a "this accout has been suspended" message. I also found searching that some people think the new style hinges are weaker than pre- 97'. so can I do something like the writeup on www.projectxj.com.
here is my hinges and pin. I'm thinking about grinding off the bottom of the pin on both sides (driver's and pass.) and driving the pin up and out on the driver's side and down on the pass. side out. Then replacing it with a bolt. Drop in style. I'm thinking it'll be a pain to remove and replace doors this way though.
Any ideas, writeup links, suggestions, pictures would be greatly appreciated. sorry I am a noob but I searched like mad for hours and still found nothing extremely usefull for 97' and later xj's
