Default Broken door hinge

So...... I was putting the doors back on my jeep today and I broke the pin that slides into the hinges. The bottom of the pin came of in the Torx cap. Where can I get replacement door hinges? I would not like to go to the dealer and order them.

Did just the threaded portion of the pin break or did the whole pin break off? If it was just the threaded portion, don't bother replacing it. I broke mine about 3 months ago (they are cheap aluminum). I read several other posts indicating that people have been running their doors without the caps for years. I have had no issues with mine since it broke.

Only the threaded portion broke off. I curced myself when I did it I thought that the door would be unsafe without the cap on but after what you said I feel much better. Thanks!!

Thanks I will take them all off, at least it will cut down on the time it takes to get the doors off from now on.
