Took my doors off for the first time today!
Unfortuately i could not get the last door off. So i went with fronts off.
Any thoughts why i couldn't get that last rear door off? Any fixes for this.
Could i spray some lube up into the hinge from where i took the door nuts out?
Throughly enjoyed going door-less!

I had the same problem with mine, but worked it and got it. Take a rolled up towel under the door then you're knee under the towel. Sit on the step and wiggle while pushing up with your knee and it should slowly move up. Keep an eye on the hinge for when it gets close so it dont fly off
I had to use a piece of wood and my jack to get mine off. It's an 08 I bought used and I don't think the doors had ever been taken off. It actually lifted the side of the jeep up (just the suspension not like the tires off the ground or anything) be ready with a good grip in the door when it finally pops loose. The jeep actually rocked side to side pretty good when the door popped loose, that's how much force it took to get it off.

All this after spraying the hinges with WD-40 for a few days... Odd thing was the caps on the bottom came off with no issues
