I was just wondering if anyone has done a write up for door removal for the jeep? Im in a Jeep unlimited 4 door 2011. I am always better with pics. Thank you all in advance!

 

On project jk there's a write up as well as many others

 

welcome dude

Here is the link to the project JK article
Project-JK.com - Jeep JK Wrangler Resource » Jeep JK Wrangler Door Removal

also if you go to harbor freight, you can get the star key socket now for 2.99 unless they jack the price up to 5.99
its a 50 star wrench

Best of luck and happy driving

 

i just leave the "nuts" off now because its only one more step between me and doorless driving.


a note, maybe shoot a little WD40 or PB Blaster in the joints and work your doors back and forth to work the lube in. after that put a little grease on the shafts that slide back in the sockets. it will help next time you take them off.

 

Lots of videos on youtube in addition. just forewarning, if you have an older JK, or in some cases new ones are just tough, you will probably want 2 people the first time you do it so you can grease the hinges up after. They can and will stick the first time you try to get them off and will require some umph. better to have 2 people so you dont become a statistic to the "oh crap I dropped my door" group

 

Park facing slightly uphill. That way you won't have the doors accidentally swing too far forward on you resulting in the cowl dimples that many of us have.

 

Thank you all for the info and help and links! Much appreciated!!

 

Don't knock on the dimple mod! It adds 4 HP..... I've been sporting mine for way too long now...

 

Open the windows before unhooking and taking the doors off. Carrying the weight of the doors is a lot easier when you have one arm through the window and hold the interior handle.

 

Holy sh$@ westchester thanks for the tip about the window I'm such a friggin tard for not thinking of that
