I started the prep work tonight. I removed all of the hinges. Tomorrow I will be removing the grill, sanding, bedlining, and putting it all back together. I have been taking a lot of pictures and will post everything tomorrow when I am finished. I realize that there are a bunch of write up threads on bedlining the grill and hinges but it seems that you have to read thru all 10+ pages to get all or most of the information that is needed to complete this mod or to answer most of the questions that people seem to be asking. I know because I have read all of them. This will be my first write up and I am hoping to accomplish answering a majority of the questions that seem to be asked and giving as much information as possible in it. I am going to try to make it as detailed as possible. Stay tuned. I will update this thread sometime tomorrow. Thanks

So this is taking me 10x longer then it should. The hinges that are connected to the doors are almost impossible to get off. I pulled the 2 off of the passenger front door with no problem but every other door is giving me a really hard time. I sanded and bedlined the bottom part of the hinge the connects to the inside of the door frame last night. I'm going to reattach them today and put the doors back on and try to loosen the hinges while they are on the jeep. I am on my second T-50 torx socket because I rounded one off. Here are a few more pics. When I am finished I will post all the pics I have and do a complete write up. I have been taking a lot of pics. Any suggestions to help with the removal of the hinges that are on the door would be greatly appreciated.
