Door hinge removal

[Dyolfknip74]

Anyone taken their door hinges off on the JL? Back in 08, I did it with my JK because they were getting chewed up. It was pretty straightforward and didn't take much to get them off after bolt removal. Then I sand blasted and used bedliner to coat them.

Just wondering if anyone has had theirs off on the JL? I remember there was no paint under them and just some weird adhesive or coating and that was it. Hinges were bullet proof after bedlining and stayed that way until I sold her 5 years later.

Edit: Found the old thread where I did it. Pictures are long gone but there is some from others in the thread.

One the JL, are you removing them because they are corroded? It's been a problem with JLs.

No, mine aren't yet. Just put new tires and wheels on and they're gonna get chewed up, so I want to bedliner them.

This is not quite what you're looking for, but may help. I think the bedliner will look awesome on your JL..

Ya, I did it in 08 to my JK, loved it. Just gotta take the first step of removing the hinges. Probably be a spring project though. I have to go a few days without doors and it's getting cold up here.

I just got some clear 3M paint protective film and put it on the front sides of the hinges. Its been holding up well to to prevent paint chips on the hinge.

Ya, but what's the fun in that.

Lol, I might get some to hold me over until spring. Although they're getting done notwithstanding so may not be required. Lol.

Lol, well it won't be until the spring now. I'll start a new thread when I do though.

I'm going to be doing this as well. My tries are chucking rocks at my rear hinges something fierce. Black bedliner will look fantastic.

It really does. I'm pretty sure I was the first one to do it on a JK back in 08, JK forum has a bunch of people that did it with pictures.
