What do you do with your doors when you take them off?

I keep mine in the center console, in case it rains.

Door and top storage...

Hi, do you remember the specs of the bolts used to secure the 2x6 to the wall?

I used deck lag bolts used to secure a wooden deck to the back of a house. Probably overkill, and I put 2 per door secured to the wall studs. It's very solid.

I built some 2x4 wall brackets with eye-bolts for hinges similar to the design from the you-tube-channel-that-must-not-be-named.

Been on the forum for a little bit and keep noticing the "must not be named" or "banned site" that replaces a link. I saw the video of the setup you are referring to and am guessing it is [Banned Site]?

1. is that the "banned site"? and
2. why? just curious. Have seen some of their videos and they seem helpful?

lol, guess my post answered #1

I'm curious about that myself....

The main thing with hinge mounts is that it would be nice to get hinge-mount-holes that exactly or close match the size of the wrangler door pins. I've seen folks use barn hinges but have no idea how to exactly figure out which size they are, and it's not like other things where you can just take the pins to the store to match them.

Ordinary door hinge pins are obviously much smaller than the wrangler door pins.

So with the 1/4" eye bolts, they're a bit oversized, and that leaves the pins able to bump around and actually the eye bolts bump up against the doors a bit on the lower door.

But so far I don't see any sign of damaged paint.

Still, I think before I use 'em again, I'm just going to give them a good wrapping of painters tape or electrical tape and call it a day.

Also, even though the doors are aluminum, I find 'em a bit heavy and cumbersome, and I need to be cautious of re-injuring my shoulder, so I think I may MacGyver up some type of wheeled lifting-dolly-assist for lifting the door off and rolling it around the garage.... If I do it right, it'll be dual purpose for lifting the oversized spare off the rear door.

History: Earlier in jlforum days there was some controversy between the denizens of jlwranglerforum and the-site-that-must-not-be-named, and some brigading and other violations of good netiquette. So I hear. I wasn't there.

Huh you learn something new. You'd figure people would eventually let go and let live, but oh well. *shrug*

I learned a new word today. Sure, it's esoteric shorthand, but that's fine.

I have Go Without Doors too. Makes a great place to also store my roof panels since I have a 2 door.

Go to Lowes and buy one of those drywall panel carriers and put some foam where it contacts the door.

I'm going to see if I can find a set of sturdy metal dining table chairs at a yard sale or thrift shop and make one of those. It doesn't look too hard and I already have most of the hardware I would need. I already made a carrier out of a furniture dolly and PVC pipe, but I made it a bit too big.
