Hi, i didn't see it mentioned, but I replaced the OEM door hinge sleeves with delrin inserts. No rust, no stuck pins, easy off and on doors. There's a thread somewhere on the forum. A worthwhile inexpensive mod.

Just found one of the early threads. Ronjenx made his own, but I bought mine on-line. I think the price has come down, but even at 50 or 80 bucks, they are a worthwhile mod . See https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...-toast-183576/

I'm in the same province as you, so you need one of these!!

Thanks for the info on the cover to keep the critters out while door and top less. I just hate it when I'm driving and notice a bee or spider coming outta my vents or from under the seats.

Thanks for the tips!

I got them back on a couple days ago but they're back off now as we're having a mini heat wave this weekend
