Wife's gonna murder me...
...so the weather has been awesome down here in FLA, and I decided to pull the doors off. Except they were stuff, so I read on here that using my Hi-Lift with a block of wood can jack the doors up and off. Worked for the first two. Then I got to the rear passenger door and as I'm jacking up the door, I fail to see that the Jeep itself was also raising...I was lifting slowly so as to avoid a sudden pop out...well the "stick" popped and the Jeep dropped...and the door.
Glass is intact, but there's massive chipping on the door edge to bare metal and it appears the metal buckled. Anyone know if Jeep sells single doors...and how much it'll cost me?

Yeah - they're all off now...but @$#%!!! I feel like I'm always doing something without thinking with this damn Jeep. ha...get all excited and buy something or cut something or whatever from ideas on this site, then look back and go...shoot...I could've done that cheaper or smarter. ha. In this case, I could've just asked my wife to help me...but I'm a dumbass.

A good body guy can fix that cheaper than a door. Even if he couldn't, he can get you a used door from a body shop parts locator cheaper than a pair of factory doors. All body shops have the locator web site on there computers. They use them to get used parts that are approved by insurance companies for insurance jobs..... There cheaper and therefor they make more profit.
You could always get the rugged ridge half doors.... North ridge just got a bunch.... I think there under a grand....

You're all good. Since it's spring, just get some or-fab doors and roll that way until fall. That will give you time to transfer your money offshore and escape to the Caymans.

Appreciate the replies and advice guys. I'll try the body shop idea first, then i'm thinking maybe bedline the doors in worst case. Then she'll never know. Ha
Glad i could entertain you other fellas, ha.
