[SariK]

from my previous owner, one of the doors screws is stuck and I can’t remove it.
And when I try it keeps getting worse
What can I do to get it out? i got new screws to put in instead of that

If it is stripped you might be able to grab the edge with vice grips.

Concur ^

Vise-Grips will get it out, for sure. I've done this many times.

Once you break it loose, it shouldn't be too bad to get out. They normally spin on pretty easy then bottom out.

Concur with vice grips next. I'd throw some painters tape around the area in case you slip to protect the paint.

Great idea on the painter's tape. I know I'd for sure slip...Murphy sits on my right shoulder whenever I work in a vehicle (meaning I must sacrifice skin, blood, or paint during the session).

When you replace it, put a little never seize on the threads.

I wouldn't even put them back on. I've taken mine out on each Jeep I've owned and threw them in the trash.

same here... I know some people say that it would make it easier for some lowlife to steal the doors.. but I wonder who goes around trying to steal Jeep Wrangler doors ?

Hmm, Pain Train does have a sweet set of half doors that apparently aren't even bolted on....

Lol.

There's no locks for the hood and it's tall enough to take whatever you want from underneath, too.

You could use the door itself as leverage.. protect the areas with either painter's tape.. or Gorilla Tape ... open the door... grab the bolt with the vise-grip plier, then close the door while holding the plier... in this case if the plier loses grip it will stay in your hand instead of flying, crushing your hand and damaging parts.. LOL

Dibs on the cage! That looks like a super easy theft

You can also grind a couple of flats on opposite sides and use vice grips or crescent wrench if you can't get it with just vice grips. Generous use of penetrating oil and maybe even a heat gun can help if the bolt is stuck.
